Though we endeavor to fill orders on or near the date specified on the 
“Order Sheet,’’ we always appreciate early orders giving us a great 
amount of leeway regarding time of shipment. In case the stock of a 
certain variety is exhausted, we will substitute varieties as good or 
better without additional cost unless an order is marked ''NO SUB- 
STITUTION.”

cated on all oiders. Rooted Chrysanthemum cuttings are shipped via 
Parcel Post, Air Parcel Post, Air Express charges collect, or Railway

; OUR EXPERIENCE OF PAST SEASONS CLEARLY INDICATE THAT

THEMUM ROOTED CUTTINGS ESPECIALLY TO DESTINATIONS BEYOND 
THE POSTAL ZONE NUMBER 4. Parcels shipped to non-airport cities 
will be forwarded by surface transportation from nearest airport city.

ment or later in stamps or by check. All underpayment of postage will 
be billed.

nation plants are banded. Each banded plant is computed at 12 
over 15 Carnation plants and banded Chrysanthemums. Carrier 
charges for Express shipments are sent collect. 
PACKING CHARGE: OWING TO INCREASED COST OF PACKING 
MATERIAL AND LABOR, WE ARE COMPELLED TO MAKE A CHARGE 
OF 25c for packing orders less than $2.00.

NON-GUARANTY. While we exercise utmost care in executing all 
orders to keep our stock true to name, we give no warranty, expressed 
or implied, and cannot guarantee to be in any way responsible for the 
crop, either to variety or product. Our liability, in all cases, is limited 
to the purchase price of the plants. All orders are accepted on the 
above terms and not subject to return. 
COLOR VARIATION: All color descriptions given in this catalog are 
somewhat arbitrary. They are observations made here in San Gabriel, 
California, when the plants were crown under normal conditions and 
taken during their best period. Undoubtedly, the colors given would 
be more intense when cultivated in the cooler sections of the country, 
which is evident when an identical variety is grown in the cool coastal 
areas only 30 miles away from San Gabriel, while the same variety 
may become lighter in color when raised in the desert areas of Cali- 
fornia, Arizona, and parts of Texas, where late summer weather pre- 
vails during the Chrysanthemum season. Complete absence of the 
bronze color from the variety, ‘“Mamoru,’’ and the green color from 
“Nightingale’’ is evidence of color bleaching when subjected to pro- 
longed solar heat during the blooming period. 
HEIGHT AND THE BLOOMING DATES: The height and the blooming 
dates are also based on observations made at our Gardens in San 
Gabriel, where a uniform cultural pattern is followed for a number of 
years. Planting is done between May 15 and June 30 or later in order 
of blooming period. The plants are all topped when they are about 
6 inches high and, if necessary, topped twice. The terminal buds are 
retained for all early varieties, and mostly any bud being saved after 
September 1. All this is mentioned because the time of planting largely 
governs the height of the plant and the selection of buds has direct 
bearing on the blooming date. Height between 21 to 4 feet tall if 
listed as medium; everything above is tall, and below is short. 
CHANGES CAUSED BY NON-DISBUDDING: Frequently during our. 
Show we are asked, particularly by our new customers, why their 
flowers are not true to our catalog description or similar to our garden 
specimen plant. In most instances, the discrepancy is due to non- 
disbudding. Only by disbudding are we able to grow large size 
flowers as described in our catalog. Also, the round, perfectly spheri- 
cal pompons or the prominent cushions centers of the anemone flowered 
ounces. For this reason, Express service is preferred for shipment of varieties will not be present when grown in sprays.

Please note that the computation difference in the number of plants exists between Air and Ordinary Parcel Post because we 
use lighter packing material for Air Parcels. Consult your local Post Office for further information.
