Packing and Shipping 
Many of our oldest and most sati- 
fied customers once hesitated to avail 
themselves of the advantages of our 
field grown plants because they 
thought it impossible for us to de- 
liver them over long distances in 
good condition. One trial will con- 
vince you as it did them, that this 
fear is unfounded, and that forty 
years of experience plus the utmost 
care in packaging and shipping, will 
deliver your plants to you in perfect 
condition. 
The illustrations on this page show 
the care given your plants in our 
packing house which enables us to 
guarantee delivery anywhere in the 
United States east of the Rocky 
Mountains. 
















Damp moss is placed around the

paper to keep the moss in place. 





A Rubber band to hold the paper

cially designed, ventilated crates.
