HOUSE PLANTS as offered in this catalog are supplied in 
young stock that is at, or just under, flowering size. This 
size packs and ships well. It will start into growth quickly 
after you receive it, and soon it will be blooming. We do 
not send out large specimen plants. Such would cost you 
much more than we charge, and give poorer results in the 
long run. All plants are normally shipped by express. If 
you want them by parcel post, then remit for postage and 
mail packing at rate of 10%-additional for points east of 
the Mississippi, and 15% for destinations beyond that river.
