When and How to Order 
ORDER as soon as you have decided what varieties and how many you 
want, Write plainly so that I can get your name and address correctly for 
prompt acknowledgment of order and delivery of plants. 
REGARDING YOUR ORDER— Attached to this Catalog is an order 
blank. By filling it out completely, you will assist us in handling your order 
promptly and accurately. Give your name and complete address legibly. Check 
the manner of shipment you prefer. Note the amount that is enclosed in pay- 
ment of your order. Send the order to us in the enclosed business reply 
envelope. 
PARCEL POST is generally cheapest and most satisfactory for small 
shipments and with larger shipments in adjoining and nearby states. 
With zone rate given here you can easily calculate the amount of postage 
to send. Be sure to send postage enough as any excess will be returned. 
If sufficient amount to pay parcel post charges is not sent with the order, 
the plants will be sent by express collect, or by parcel post, C. O. D., for the 
amount of postage due, as I cannot keep accounts and sends bills for small 
items of postage,
