LIST E (Condensed), JANUARY I, 1950 
TROPICAL and SUBTROPICAL 
PLANTS 
FOR HOUSE AND CONSERVATORY 
In our 120 Greenhouses, devoted to Potted Plants, 
are probably grown the largest assortment of ornamental 
plants under glass in America, most of which are distrib- 
uted through Retail Florists. 
For over 75 years we have collected from all parts of 
the world a Treasure in Exotic Plants which has become 
world famous. However, many Flower Shops do not have 
the facilities to feature some of these rarer plants be- 
cause of their perishable nature, and it is the purpose 
of this list to keep them available to the Plant fancier if 
they cannot be obtained from your neighborhood florist. 
ORDERS: Because of limited mother stock, orders are accepted 
with the understanding that they will be shipped only if and when 
saleable plants are available beyond needed propagating stock. 
Minimum order $3.00. Sales can be made from this list only. 
SHIPMENTS: Plants will be shipped in paper pots wherever possible, 
to reduce shipping weight—unless requested in clay pots. We try 
to avoid shipping tender plants during cold weather. Shipments 
usually travel Express Collect, but smaller packages can be sent 
Parcel Post at customers’ risk, provided postage is included with 
order {lOc per each dollar of order). We can ship by air if 
charges are guaranteed. 
TERMS: Cash with order, except for established accounts 30 days 
net from date of invoice. Claims for damage in transit on Express 
shipments must be filed with Express Co. We will exercise all care 
to ship safest way, but because of the tender nature of many 
Exotic Plants we cannot assume responsibility for their safe arrival 
and future growth. 
This list does not include all of the many varieties of 
Tropical Plants we are growing or are experimenting 
with, but offers a selection of the best. For additional 
plants not listed and other information, please write
