~HOW TO ORDER 
Order Early. This automatically gives you 
first selection of stock, and we can give your 
order more personal service if booked before 
our heavy rush season starts. Orders are 
booked as they are received, but shipments 
are not made until the proper time to plant, 
unless otherwise requested. We are 50 or- 
ganized that we can handle thousands of 
orders daily, there are four large railroads 
out of Hampton, and we have good shipping 
connections to all parts of the United States. 
Quantity Prices. We sell five trees of a va- 
riety at the ten rate, 50 at the 100 rate, unless 
otherwise stated. Less than five of one variety 
at the each rate.

In Shipping Evergreens the larger sizes will 
have to go by express, truck or freight. The 
individually wrapped specimens are shipped 
by express. Seedlings, light transplants and 
algo the heavy windbreak trees are packed 
as a unit, their roots in substantial packing 
material and then baled and wrapped; they 
are never Balled and Burlapped as they are 
grown too close in the rows to ball satisfac- 
torily. Balled specimen evergreens are ship- 
ped by express, freight or truck—see further 
particulars on page 26.
