EASY TO ORDER 
Just list what you want on the en- 
closed order sheet or on any sheet 
of paper. Please write your name 
and address plainly, giving rural 
route or street address. Also, if 
your express station is different 
than your postoffice, list the ex- 
press. station,_too. 
Easy to Send Money 
Your personal check is good with 
us, or you can send a Money Or- 
der or Bank Draft. If you send cur- 
rency or coin, wrap it carefully and 
you should then register your let- 
ter. Every year thousands of our 
customers send us signed checks 
with the amount left blank to be 
filled in with the correct amount to 
cover the order. This works out 
fine for everyone because the 
checks are always filled out for the 
exact amount of the order and at 
the lowest prices in effect the day 
the order is received. 
MOST THINGS 
POSTPAID 
You will see that most everything 
in this catalog is delivered to you 
Postpaid. This represents a big 
saving to you. Some things too 
large to go by parcel post are 
quoted “Not Prepaid”. We ship 
these by Express. But, since nur- 
sery stock goes at the low second 
class express rate, the charges you 
pay on such shipments are general- 
ly as cheap as freight, sometimes 
even less. 
If your order includes some of the 
larger items which must go by Ex- 
press and some which would be 
postpaid by us, then we will send 
the entire order by Express. This 
will avoid making two separate 
shipments. 
For this privilege we will include 
some extra nursery stock which has 
a greater value than the additional 
express charge amounts to.
