“RECOLLECTION OF QUALITY 
REMAINS LONG AFTER PRICE IS FORGOTTEN” 
So Our Policy is... 
You be the Judge of Value — We Are Anxious to Please 
GROWING instructions are sent with all orders; tells how to mix your 
own soil for best results, gives many hints on propagation, how to save 
a plant that has been damaged; information on watering, fertilizing. 
You don’t need a green thumb, just a few rules! 
Since we cannot ship plants during winter months, all orders received 
in the winter will be put on record and we will commence mailing plants 
starting mid-April or so. Whenever the weather in Detroit is above 40°. 
Since we would have to replace at our expense any that arrive damaged, 
you can understand our caution. Earlier shipments will be made at cus- 
tomer’s insistence . . . and risk. But it takes so long to grow a nice plant, 
we hope you will allow us to select the proper shipping time to your 
area. The non-perishables like soil, etc., will be mailed in any weather. 
ORDER EARLY because many of the newer varieties are in scarce 
supply. We will not substitute unless you mention 2nd choice. If tempor- 
arily out of stock may we hold your order and send that variety a bij 
later? s 
OUR CATALOG is sent regularly to customers on record. 
EVERYTHING is priced POSTPAID to your door (no C.O.D.). 
ALL PLANTS are true to name, top quality and size, State Inspected 
and free from insect pests and disease. Varieties not listed may be under 
propagation; your inquiries are solicited.
