ORDER EARLY—As orders are filled in rotation—field-grown 
roots—ordering early will insure the reservation of varie- 
ties that later may be sold out. Orders are filled with 
varieties called for, and unless substitution is asked, | 
never substitute only on late orders for collections of 
cheap roots. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT — We ship anytime but, unless other- 
wise requested, tubers will be shipped between April 15th 
and May lst, by express or insured mail, at my expense, 
any place in the United States [except States west of the 
Rocky Mountains] on all orders over $2.00. Orders under 
$2.00 add 15c to cover postage and packing. On all orders 
from western states mentioned, add 2c to price of each root 
to cover extra cost. In cold weather roots shipped by mail 
special delivery only. Orders from U. S. possessions outside 
U. S. add 5% extra for postage and packing needed. Do 
not request shipment at once when you cannot plant soon.’ 
ORDERS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES must be accom- 
panied by all the necessary import blanks and permit from 
your Dept. of Agriculture. Also add for extra postage and 
special packing needed. 
TERMS—Cash with order unless parties are known to me. 
No goods sent C. O. D. We will hold your order for you 
if a deposit of 25 percent is made, balance to be remitted 
before shipment is made. 
REMITTANCES should be made by bank draft, express or 
postoffice money order or registered letter. Postage stamps 
accepted up to $2.00. Coin should not be sent by letter 
unless registered. Please send Sc, 10c, 15¢ and 20c stamps. 
ERRORS—While my system for handling orders is as near 
perfect as possible, yet in the rush of business, errors are 
possible to occur, and I wish to be promptly notified of 
such and will at once make satisfactory adjustment. Make 
all complaints to me, not to your friends, as we aim to 
please. 
NAME AND ADDRESS — Remember to write your Name. 
Postoffice, County and State, also give zone and Street 
Number or P. O. Box as plainly as possible. 
Rooted Cuttings 
We sell rooted cuttings of new 1950-1951 varieties I grow 
plants of, only when called for at my greenhouses. No lists 
will be mailed.
