TO INSURE BEST SERVICE, 
Please Read Following Suggestions! 
SHIPPING DATES 
Your plants will be shipped to you at the proper planting time for your 
_ locality. Based on my experience and weather reports, I know when the 
plants should reach you and will try to get them there at the right time. 
ALWAYS USE SAME ADDRESS 
Always use the same address when ordering or when writing letters. 
Frequently, customers have more than one address (home — business — 
summer cottage) in different towns. Our files are set up by city name so 
be sure to let me know if you have more than one address. All members 
of the same household should order in the same name. If you write on 
business or office stationery, be sure to let me know whether you’re 
ordering for yourself or your company. 
SPECIAL NOTES, INSTRUCTIONS, QUESTIONS 
If you have any special messages to send with your order, please put 
them on a separate piece of paper and we can thus handle your order 
and your correspondence more quickly. Be sure to put your name and 
address on the separate note. 
CHANGES IN YOUR ORDER 
Our shipping department is handling thousands of orders from early 
March until the end of April. At that time your order may not be filed 
where we can lay hands on it quickly. So please don’t ask for changes 
or cancellations at the last minute. We may not be able to find your 
order in time to do what you ask. 
CHARGE ORDERS 
If you wish to charge an order, please be sure to give us three references 
so that we can establish a charge account in your name. 
DAY OR TIME OF ARRIVAL 
Customers often request that plants be delivered on Friday. This is im- 
possible from my end because once an order is turned over to the Post 
Office or the Railway Express Agency, I have no control over the length 
of time they will take to deliver it. If you want plants SHIPPED ona 
certain day, I’ll comply with your request, but cannot assume respon- 
sibility for delays in transit. 
DO WE HAVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS CORRECT? 
If the name and address on the envelope this catalog was sent in 
are not correct, please notify us so we can bring our files up to date. 
Incorrect addresses may mean orders sent to the wrong place.
