Terms 
All sales are cash. No C.O.D. orders can be accepted. 
No packing charge if your order amounts to $2.00 or 
more, not including postage. On orders for less than 
$2.00 a charge of 50c will be made to cover the cost of 
handling and packing. 
Sales Tax must be included for all orders to be deliv- 
ered in California. 
Transportation costs are to be paid by the purchaser. 
(See schedule on next page). 
All orders are carefully packed, and delivered to the 
carrier in good condition. I cannot accept responsibility 
for damage or loss in transit. In case of damage or loss, 
make immediate claim on the carrier. 
Shipments 
Shipments are made by Insured Parcel Post, Special 
Handling. This is convenient, fast, and inexpensive. 
Shipments can be made safely to any part of the country. 
Orders must include money for postage, as shown in 
the schedule on the next page. 
Shipments are scheduled to avoid, as far as possible, 
any risk of plants being held in the Post Office over 
Sunday or other holiday. 
Shipments to the East are not advisable during the 
colder winter months, because of the possibility of 
freezing in transit. Insurance on Parcel Post does not 
cover frost damage. 
Substitutes 
Although I try to maintain complete stocks at all times, 
there are often some varieties temporarily out of stock. 
You can avoid disappointment by giving a list of sec- 
ond choice varieties, or allowing me to select equally 
good varieties for you. This is especially true on small 
orders, where a shortage of one or two plants may be 
very disappointing. Extra value is given if it is neces- 
sary to substitute. I do not substitute unless authorized. 
If you will accept substitutes, please be sure to indicate 
so on your order, otherwise an immediate refund will be 
made for the varieties out of stock.
