Notes on Shipping 
We recommend and urge our customers, 
if at all possible, that plants be called for 
by car or truck at the nursery. Shipment 
by less-carlot freight is generally unsatis- 
factory due to the lenght of time in transit, 
and Express shipping costs (plus packing 
costs) are high due to the weight involved: 
Before placing your order we again wish 
to call attention to the acid soil requirement 
of Rhododendrons. If you are in a section 
that it definitely a limestone belt, special 
soll preparation and after care will be re- 
quired. Rhododendrons are not recommend- 
ed although with proper care you should 
have fair success. 
The area to which we can make ship- 
ments is largely restricted to the North- 
eastern United States due to a quarantine 
of the U. S. Department of Argiculture in 
controlling the spread of Japanese Beetle. 
At present the quarantine (area to which we 
can ship) includes the entire states of Con- 
necticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, 
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island; all 
of Pennsylvania except parts of Mercer, 
Crawford, and Erie Counties; and parts of the 
states of Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, 
New York, Ohio, Vermont, Virginia, and 
West Virginia. Changes in this controlled 
area are made from time to time, and if you 
are in doubt as to whether your locality is 
in or out of the area we will be most happy 
to advise whether shipments could be made 
to you.
