METHODS OF SHIPMENT—IMPORTANT 
We are particularly proud of our mail-order department. If we are 
to judge from the numerous letters we have in our files from more- 
than-satisfied customers in every section of the United States, we are 
justifiably proud. Our shipments are handled by the Railway Express 
Agency, charges collect, unless we are specifically instructed to ship 
by other means. All plants, in all sizes, are fitted into custom-built 
corrugated containers, tamper-proof, strong, sealed, and lightweight, 
which means that you do not pay for heavy wooden crating. The 
plants arrive at destination in nursery-fresh condition, insured and 
guaranteed. Shipments of camellias to residents of the states of 
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, 
South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia will be bare-rooted of soil 
and repacked into suitable containers with pure German peat moss. 
Plants so treated are accorded the same guarantee as all of our 
camellias. To all other parts of the country, the camellias are shipped 
in the containers they have been grown in, undisturbed. All stock is 
carefully selected by well qualified experts and is expertly and effic- 
iently packed. We are more than proud to report, that out of several 
thousand camellias bare-rooted this past season for shipment, we 
were notified of only two plants which failed to thrive following 
this treatment. These plants were, of course, replaced free of charge. 
Due to increased costs of labor and material, we are obliged to 
charge for crating. Rather than charge a percentage of the purchase 
price, which places an undue burden on the purchaser of higher 
priced varieties, we make a flat charge for the crates. These charges 
are based on our own actual cost for the material alone, and we make 
every effort to do the packing as economically as possible. Please
