1881 Our 71st Year 1951 
IT’S CONVENIENT TO ORDER BY MAIL 
In our 1951 Garden Book you will find many new and novel plants. In keeping with the Cole tradition, these have all been 
thoroughly tested in our Lake County, Ohio, nurseries. Because space is limited, we have been forced to eliminate a number 
of the very fine plants we grow here. If you have some special wants, we shall be glad to quote prices on them. It will help a 
lot if you state the number and the size of the plants you wish so that we may give you an accurate quotation. 
Although our shipping is done in two short seasons, we are in business the year around to answer questions about your 
garden problems. It is our aim to assist each one of you in establishing a well planned and planted garden. 
HOW TO ORDER 
Please use the order blank included here. If you lose it, use any sheet of 
paper, but be sure to order by name and catalog number. PRINT YOUR 
FULL NAME AND COMPLETE ADDRESS. Please write letters separately to 
avoid confusion. 
PAYMENT in full should be sent with all orders. No C. O. D. orders accept- 
ed. Send money by recognized safe methods; unregistered cash sent at your 
risk. Please add 30c for handling costs on orders totaling under $5.00. All 
stock will be carefully packed free, assuring safe arrival. 
OHIO CUSTOMERS ONLY. Please include the usual 3% sales tax with your re- 
mittance, except in the case of fruit trees and fruit plants, which are exempt. 
WHEN TO ORDER. Orders are accepted any season of the year, for delivery 
at the proper planting time in your locality. Some items are available for 
Spring Planting Only, however, and they are so marked. Orders are given 
strict preference according to the time of their receipt. RESERVE YOUR 
PLANTS EARLY! 
WE PAY POSTAGE 
All items designated PREPAID will be sent postpaid to the 4th parcel post 
zone (600 miles from Painesville). This includes such points as Long Island, 
Wisconsin, Eastern Missouri and Iowa, and Tennessee. Shipments beyond the 
4th zone will be sent express collect. Plants too large to go by parcel post are 
listed as NOT PREPAID. They will be sent express, you pay the transportation 
upon receipt. 
SUBSTITUTION—A SPECIAL SERVICE : 
As often urged by our customers, we shall send another plant of like growth 
habits and quality, should we be out of the one you order. If you do not wish 
this, please write on your order NO SUBSTITUTION.
