HOW YOUR NURSERY ORDER IS SHIPPED 
SMALL ORDERS—On nursery orders under $1.50, it is necessary to in- 
clude 15c extra packing charge due to high cost of properly packing 
live plants. No packing charge on orders of $1.50 or more. 
SHIPPING CHARGES—Nursery orders in which all items are quoted 
prepaid will be shipped prepaid by parcel post or express, depending 
on which method is cheaper. Large shipments generally go express. 
NOT PREPAID ITEMS include large size, heavy shade trees and are 
offered not prepaid by freight, truck, or express. Customer to pay express 
or freight charges when he receives shipment. 
ORDERS CONTAINING BOTH Prepaid and Not Prepaid Nursery items 
will be sent in one shipment by express, not prepaid. With these ship- 
ments we will include extra stock representing a greater value than the 
postage on any prepaid items included in shipment. 
NO NURSERY SHIPMENTS INTO THESE STATES—because of great dis- 
tances and high permit fees: Florida, New Mexico, Nevada, and Canada. 
SHIPPING TIME—We start shipping about March 15, depending on 
weather, and continue through April and May. We try to have shipment 
arrive at best planting time in your section.

HOW YOU CAN OBTAIN A LANDSCAPE PLAN 
If you want an accurate, properly balanced landscape plan, tailor made 
to fit your home grounds, complete with specifications, laid out in an 
easy to read manner, send for our “LANDSCAPE QUESTIONNAIRE.” It 
explains how you may obtain such a plan and tells exactly what in- 
formation we must have. Send for your questionnaire promptly, as we 
cannot prepare landscape plans after March 15.

All of our Nursery Stock carries the Minnesota Inspection Cer- 
tificate and is guaranteed true to name and in good growing con- 
dition. If for any reason you do not find everything just as repre- 
sented, notify us at once and we will order shipment returned, 
refund your money, or replace the items without charge. 
Any tree or plant that dies the first growing season we will 
replace at half the catalog price, the following spring, if loss is 
reported by October 15th following date of purchase. 
We cannot be responsible for losses other than the above. 
BEST FRUIT VARIETIES FOR THE UPPER MIDWEST 
PLUMS & PRUNES: 
The varieties suggested for planting in each zone on the map below, are selected not only for hardiness 
required in the zone, but also for their ability to mature fruit in the duration of the average growing sea- 
son in each zone. Where a variety is suggested only in Northern zones, it indicates that better quality Fruit Growing Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 
varieties should be grown in more southern zones. : Kapaa eee iste ish a8
