| please read these TERMS OF SALE 
Orders for all stock offered in this Wholesale Catalogue are being booked now. All 
orders are promptly confirmed, but are accepted subject to cancellation in case of crop fail- 
ures and other conditions beyond our control. 
No orders shipped that total less than $5.00. NOT LESS THAN FIVE PLANTS OF A 
VARIETY AT WHOLESALE PRICES. 
This catalogue cancels all previous issues. 
We do not sell rooted or unrooted cuttings, but only well grown and established plants 
in pots. 
Ordinarily our terms are cash with order, but you may pay at delivery time, or make 
other arrangements AT THE TIME YOU ORDER. 
All prices F.O.B. Palo Alto. No charge for packing. 
Since Railway Express rates are so high, we suggest shipment by Parcel Post and Special 
Delivery, or Special Handling, whichever applies. However, if you want us to ship to you 
by Railway Express, please so indicate on your order. 
We are NOT responsible for the safe arrival of plants after they have been accepted in 
good order by the carrier. CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE IN TRANSIT (broken plants, delay in de- 
livery, etc.) SHOULD BE FILED WITH THE CARRIER ON DELIVERY. 
Orders will be shipped when plants are ready and, depending on the stock, that will be 
in late winter or early spring. However, please indicate on your order when you would like 
to have the plants and we will let you know at once what we can do. 
All stock is labeled, true to name as given in this catalogue. 
We never substitute if sold out of a variety you have ordered and so suggest you 
PLEASE GIVE A SECOND CHOICE WHENEVER POSSIBLE. 
For years we have successfully shipped to distant places. Many thousands of plants— 
expertly packed—left our nursery and safely reached customers in many states, as far from 
Palo Alto as Maine and Florida, also Canada, the Canal Zone, the Territory of Hawaii and 
New Zealand. 
_ . . about ordering Early 
The demand for our specialties continues to increase yearly and so we always seem to 
be short of stock. For the 1950-1951 season we supplied potted plants to 168 nurseries, many 
of them having increased their orders over previous years. 
Last season we were sold out of most items in three weeks after our wholesale catalogue 
was mailed out. This year, again, we expect to be sold out of Pelargoniums and other items 
in less than one month after this catalogue reaches you. Since our production is limited, we 
urge you to order as soon as possible after you receive this catalogue. This is not high- 
pressure business but a statement of fact—each year the late orders are out of luck. 
This does not apply to the new 1952 Fuchsia Introductions. We keep “open book’ for 
them and hope to be able to supply orders throughout the season. 
Visitors Please Note: We are CLOSED MONDAYS and on the following holidays: New 
Year, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving and Christmas. 
We are OPEN ALL OTHER DAYS, INCLUDING SUNDAYS, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
