State Inspected Roots 
We ship roots that have been inspected and all out of 
the state orders will be accompanied by a certificate of 
inspection. 
Growers and Dealers 
Ask for our Special Lists but use your business card or 
letterhead when request is made by mail. No special plant 
or cutting list in 1953.

ORDER EARLY—As orders are filled in rotation—field-grown 
roots—ordering early will insure the reservation of varie- 
ties that later may be sold out. Orders are filled with 
varieties called for, and unless substitution is asked, I 
never substitute only on late orders for collections of 
cheap roots. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT — We ship anytime but, unless other- 
wise requested, tubers will be shipped between April 15th 
and May Ist, by express or insured mail, at my expense, 
any place in the United States [except States west of the 
Rocky Mountains] on all orders over $2.00. Orders under 
$2.00 add 15¢ to cover postage and packing. On all orders 
from western states mentioned, add 2c to price of each root 
to cover extra cost. In cold weather roots shipped by mail 
special delivery only so add 35c°for special delivery and 
extra packing. Orders from U. S. possessions outside U. S. 
add 5% extra for postage and packing needed. Do not 
request shipment at once when you cannot plant soon. 
ORDERS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES must be accom- 
panied by all the necessary import blanks and permit from 
your Dept. of Agriculture. Also add for extra postage and 
special packing needed. 
TERMS—Cash with order unless parties are known to me. 
No goods sent C. O. D. We will hold your order for you 
if a deposit of 25 percent is made, balance to be remitted 
before shipment is made. 
REMITTANCES should be made by bank draft, express or 
postoffice money order or registered letter. Postage stamps 
accepted up to $2.00. Coin should not be sent by letter 
unless registered. Please send 5c, 10c, 15¢ and 20c stamps. 
ERRORS—While my system for handling orders is as near 
perfect as possible, yet in the rush of business, errors are 
possible to occur, and I wish to be promptly notified of 
such and will at once make satisfactory adjustment. Make 
all complaints to me, not to your friends, as we aim to 
please. 
NAME AND ADDRESS — Remember to write your Name, 
Postoffice, County and State, also give zone and Street 
Number or P. O. Box as plainly as possible.
