TERMS OF SALE 
Descriptions are our own and of necessity must be 
brief. We have tried to give the most general points and 
the truest colors. However, colors vary considerably with 
soil, weather and locality. 
Names given are true to the best of our knowledge. 
Beyond this we give no warranty. Our motto, ‘Finest 
Strains Constantly Improved,” is our working aim and 
the greatest effort has been spent toward improving the 
“work ability” of the plant; to ship well, to root well, 
and be disease free, etc. The reward has been an ever 
growing business and customers who have reordered for 
ten and fifteen years. We never substitute unless we know 
the second choice in the case of our steady customers. 
Mislabeling is unknown here. 
All varieties listed in this list are grown in com- 
mercial quantities and in their respective approximate 
sales ratios. However, each year there are varieties with 
unexpected sales. In this case reserved orders are filled 
first, later orders by percentage and/or in rotation. 
All orders are subject to the crop and we reserve 
the right to prorate, to fill reserved orders first, to refuse 
orders so large they would cause shortages to our other 
customers. 
It is recommended that orders be reserved well in 
advance whenever possible to insure delivery. Large 
orders are given shipping dates and are adhered to as 
well as weather and shipping conditions permit. We do 
not ship at all during the Christmas rush (December 12- 
26th) and we avoid having stock arrive just before holi- 
days. We prefer to limit individual shipments to 5000, 
but will make two or more a week when desired. 
Much of our reputation has been built on very care- 
ful packing for shipment and good traffic management. 
Shipments are packed according to expected weather ex- 
tremes and ample protection aganist frost is provided 
to protect the cuttings during transfers in shipment. Our 
packing is acceptable to all carriers. OPEN CASES AS 
SOON AS POSSIBLE after arrival and if stock shows 
signs of freezing, sweating, rough handling, or excessive 
delay get an inspection certificate from your carrier agent 
and file a claim for all or a percentage of the shipment as 
the case may warrant. Notify us immediately. Railway 
Express shipments to distant points may result in the 
leaves being yellowed, but this does not cause loss of 
stock in Geraniums. DURING THE YEAR OF 1951 WE 
DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE CLAIM FILED. 
We will ship as the buyer requests except where an 
error is obvious. All shipments are made charges collect 
as this is an aid to fast delivery. 
PARCEL POST, with special delivery or special 
handling as the condition requires is very satisfactory 
during nonfreezing weather. It is the cheapest and some- 
times the fastest.
