PLEASE NOTE—When ordering please write NAME and ADDRESS plain- 
ly, also state date delivery is desired. It is better not to have roots delivered 
until you are ready to use them. As the stock of some varieties is limited 
and the demand this year is heavy, it is well to name some second choices. 
We do not substitute without permission. All shipments prior to April Ist, 
except on the Pacific Coast, are sent by Express Collect to insure against 
freezing. We do not sell green plants. Prices listed are for strong field- 
grown root divisions. Where air mail delivery is requested, unless remit- 
tance includes the extra charge for this service, request will not be com- 
plied with. 
TERMS—CASH WITH ORDER or before date of shipment. On retail orders 
for California delivery 3% Sales Tax should be added to the amount to 
comply with the Sales Tax Law. We guarantee that all roots sent are true 
to name and in good growing condition, but beyond this assume no re- 
sponsibility. All orders are accepted with this provision.
