PLANTS AS GIFTS 
Those who have had the happy inspiration of giving plants, when the occasion 
called for a remembrance, know that nothing else they could devise, would serve so 
admirably for this purpose. For a flowering plant is a living thing, a remembrance 
whose recurrent display of delicate and refined beauty is a constant reminder of the 
giver’s thoughtfulness and a sure way of keeping the memory green. 
We are always happy to serve as the intermediary in executing orders intended 
for gifts, and send a printed card to the donee, when requested, announcing that we 
have been authorized by the donor to ship the plants ‘at the proper planting time. 
Gift shipments are accompanied by a shipping list but prices are omitted. They can 
also be accompanied by the donor’s card, sent to us for that purpose, if no message 
is enclosed so that postal regulations will not be violated. It is not practical to time 
shipments for any dead-line dates but if your order is received in time it will be 
scheduled for shipment as nearly as possible in conformity with your wishes.
