RAILWAY EXPRESS is dependable if shipments are 
made so stock does not lay over at stations on the week- 
ends. Frost protection is guaranteed. Rooted cuttings will 
stand shipment to any point. Leaves might yellow on dis- 
tant shipments but the plants are not damaged. 
AIR EXPRESS is expensive but very fast. Frost pro- 
tection is guaranteed and delivery is made to any Express 
area. Small shipments of 100 and 200 unrooted cuttings 
weigh about 41/4 and 8 pounds. Rooted, slightly heavier. 
Contact your local agent for definite rates. 
AIR FREIGHT is the most satisfactory method for 
any but the smallest shipments. The scheduled lines have 
a minimum of 50 pounds and orders of 1000 cuttings are 
practical (34 to 37 pounds). Slick and Flying Tiger Air- 
lines both have minimums of $4.00, which makes ship- 
ments of 250 to 750 very reasonable now. In competitive 
areas some lines give a special 100-pound rate at a very 
large discount. 
WE DO NO OPEN ACCOUNT BUSINESS. Terms 
are net, cash in advance or permission to ship, C.O.D. 
only. This applies to all customers and is no reflection to 
anyone’s credit. Please do not request open account. 
Prices listed are highly competitive and do not allow 
discounts for any reason or to any group of buyers. Small 
orders are desired as well as large ones and prices given 
are planned to cover the extra cost of handling the small 
orders. MINIMUM ORDER JIS 100 cuttings. Not less 
than 25 of any variety except where the 10 price is given 
in which case 10 is the minimum of one variety and the 
same price will apply to all varieties chosen in groups of 
10. 25 of a variety will apply to the 100 rate. Orders of 
500 or more will take the 1000 rate, except where the 
bulk of the order is in small quantities, in which case 
the 100 rate must apply to cover the extra handling cost. 
Many of our customers started buying small quan- 
tities years ago and now handle thousands each year, 
having built a beautiful streamlined business with a 
foundation of our stock. Many customers have standing 
orders for weekly or monthly shipments, others take 
stock once or several times a year. We give special at- 
tention to growers who publish catalogs or lists, and 
who rely upon us for a steady flow of stock. Every order 
is appreciated and every effort is made to see that the 
grower is supplied with stock that will be to his satis- 
faction, profit, and pleasure. All orders are personally 
checked. 
Our business is backed by two generations of ex- 
perience in the nursery and horticulture business. The 
first field of geraniums was planted 15 years ago and 
full attention to geraniums was devoted shortly after. 
The business has grown steady until we now offer the 
most complete line of stock offered by the field growers 
in California. Our rooted cuttings have constantly become 
more popular with the trade until we now put 250,000 in 
the sand each batch. Each year more of our customers 
change to rooted cuttings and realize 100% good, well 
rooted cuttings at potting time, saving labor, losses, wor- 
ries and glass area.
