WHEN ORDERING kindly note the following: Seeds are Postpaid on All orders of 50c 
or over, (smaller ones, add 3c for handling). PLANT SHIPMENTS are NOT Postpaid; charges 
are listed in margins below offerings and include all expenses. Large plant orders receive the 
benefit of our sharing the handling involved. Small plant orders, even for one single plant, must 
include the full fee for each box shipped to a customer. SPECIAL HANDLING (for quick 
transit through any terminal points), 30c extra. SPECIAL DELIVERY, add 45c to regular fee. 
Plant shipments are dispatched from September 10th until December 10th and from February 
15th until June 1st. (Late May is usually not too satisfactory). Seed is shipped throughout the 
year, with fresh crop as the current supply becomes ripe. Remember late summer sowings of the 
perennials; also late fall for good spring germination. 
No crop guarantees on seed or plants; these are responsibilities beyond our control. Errors 
or omissions are rectified on notification. 
Cash, check or postal-note should be enclosed with all orders, please. 
Our “Silent Salesman,” this catalog, suggests early orders; stock will be somewhat short 
in the spring of 1953 due to difficult growing conditions during the previous summer. Quality 
comes first with us because we enjoy catering to satisfied customers. Repeat orders are the back- 
bone of our business and they speak for themselves.
