ESTABLISHED PLANTS IN PLANT BAND. Only 
those calling for plants at our gardens will be given 
plants in plant band instead of rooted cuttings. All ship- 
ment of Chrysanthemums and Carnations will be made

able to fill orders immediately, we send acknowledg-

ing our customers when their shipment may be expected.

TIME OF SHIPMENT. We fill orders for Chrysanthe- 
mums from about April 10 through May and June to 
mid-July. We can fill orders to warmer Southern areas 
as early as April 1 or little before if we are allowed to 
make substitutions or back order whatever is not ready. 
WE SHIP CARNATION PLANTS ALL YEAR 
‘AROUND. 
HOW ORDERS ARE FILLED. All orders will receive 
our careful and special attention. Although we always 
endeavor to fill the orders on or at least near the date 
requested on the “Order Sheet,’ we appreciate early 
orders allowing us a liberal margin of leeway as to the 
shipping date. Generally, we follow the regular rota- 
tion procedure. 
SUBSTITUTIONS—In case stock of certain varieties is 
exhausted, we will substitute with correctly labeled 
plants of similar type and color as good or better without 
additional cost unless marked “NO SUBSTITUTION.” 
SHIPPING INFORMATION. Shipping instructions 
should be indicated on all orders. Rooted Chrysanthe- 
mum and Carnation cuttings are shipped via Parcel Post, 
Air Parcel Post, or Air Express charges collect. 
OUR EXPERIENCE OF PAST SEASONS CLEARLY 
INDICATE THAT AIR PARCEL POST IS THE BEST 
MEDIUM OF CARRIER, ESPECIALLY TO DESTINA- 
TIONS BEYOND THE POSTAL ZONE NUMBER 4. 
Parcels shipped to non-airport cities will be forwarded 
by surface transportation from nearest airport city. 
POSTAGE CHARGE ADJUSTMENT. Adjustment of 
overpayment of Air Parcel Post charges will be made 
either in plants at time of shipment or after June in 
ee or check. All underpayment of postage will be 
billed. 
SPECIAL DELIVERY SERVICE. To customers in 
urban communities where this service is available, we 
stress its usage which greatly expediates delivery. The 
rate is 35 cents up to 2 lbs., 45 cents from 2 to 10 lbs., 
and 60 cents over 10 lbs. Please note that this service 
includes “Special Handling.” 
PACKING CHARGE. OWING TO INCREASED 
COST OF PACKING MATERIAL AND LABOR, WE 
ARE COMPELLED TO MAKE A CHARGE OF 50c for 
packing orders less than $2.00. 
SHIPPING NOTICE. Separate shipping notice is sent 
on the date the order is filled. Air Parcel Post shipment 
notices are sent by air mail. 
ADJUSTMENTS. All plants are carefully labeled and 
securely packed before leaving our Nursery. An invoice 
accompanies each shipment. If found unsatisfactory 
upon arrival, please notify us immediately. No adjust- 
ment will be made later than 15 days after arrival. 
Sufficient postage either Air Mail or parcel post must 
accompany requests for replacement. 
We exercise utmost care in keeping our plants true to 
name, but will not be responsible for failure beyond our 
control. Our liability, in all cases, is limited to the pur- 
chase price of the plants. All orders are accepted on the 
above terms and not subject to return.

Please note that the computation difference in the number of plants exists between Air and Ordinary 
Parcel post because we use lighter packing material for Air Parcels. Consult your local Post Office for fur- 
ther information.
