risk. 
We make all shipments in paper pots as we have 
found that the plants usually arrive in perfect 
condition by this method of packing. It saves 
weight and there is no danger of shifting within 
the package. 
Since the staff of the U. S. Post Office has been ~ 
curtailed, there has been more and more trouble in ~ 
the handling of perishable material. In the past, 
plants sent by regular mail have usually had reason- 
able handling. Today, unless packages are sent 
SPECIAL DELIVERY, no matter how perishable, they 
are not given any special consideration and are 
often delayed beyond reason. We do not advise | 
Special Handling as it gets no different handling 
than ordinary parcel post (at least in this area). 
AIR MAIL is expensive but by far the most satis-_ 
factory method of shipping perishable material, and 
I personally use it when I am having rare plants — 
sent to me. If you wish any of these services, 
please mention it in your order carefully under- 
lined, and include enough money to cover as near as 
you can estimate. SPECIAL DELIVERY is 35¢ up to 2 
lbs. (1 to 2 plants depending on size); 45¢ for 2 
to 10 lbs. (approx. 3 to 10 plants); 60¢ over: 10 
lbs. (more than 10 plants), AIR MAIL is 80¢ per 
ib. and a two pound package would be | a minimum 
shipment, | 
We will ship by prepaid: Railway Express on uae 
of $20. or more. This is a more satisfactory method 
of shipping than parcel post. Packages are handled 
more carefully than in the mails and any claims for 
goods damaged are adjusted by the Express Co. If 
you want smaller orders of plants delivered by Rail- 
way Express, please tell us and we will send them 
Express Collect. | 
NON-WARRANTY: We give no warranty, express or 
implied, as to the productiveness of any of the 
plants we sell. Our liability in all instances 
is limited to the purchase price of the plants. 
CLAIMS for damaged shipments must be filed 
immediately with the ieee ac’ by the consignee..
