SHIPPING 
If you do not state your preference for method of shipping, all arrangements will 
be made for you with speed, safety and economy in mind. 
Out-of-state shipments are made most economically by our contracted carrier motor 
freight service. 
A full semi-truck load will consist of approximately 27,000 lbs. of plant material. A 
combination or split load consists of several orders each consigned to a different purchaser. 
To have your order included in a combination load, a minimum order of $250.00 is nec- 
essary, and delivery will be made as soon as enough orders are accumulated to fill a semi- 
truck. This minimum order of $250.00 is required as the trucking concern under contract 
will make only a limited number of stops per trip. Trucking charges are a cash trans- 
action and are due to Monrovia Nursery immediately after delivery of stock. Do not pay 
the driver. 
If you are unable to meet the $250.00 minimum order, undoubtedly a nursery in your 
immediate area could add to the order to make this required minimum, and have stock 
delivered to one nursery. A number of our customers pool their orders this way. 
When ordering a truckload or a carload, beyond our free delivery area, packing, load- 
ing and bracing are free.

PACKING 
There is no charge made on packing lining-out stock (21%4” and 3” pot-sized plants) 
and Azaleas. These are shipped by Railway Express unless specified differently by you. To 
insure safe and economical delivery, the plants are transferred from clay pots into waxed 
paper pots, and securely packed in sturdy, lightweight cartons. Please remember that 
shipping the larger plants (1 and 5-gallon sizes) by express or public motor freight is 
very expensive. Not only are the transportation rates high, but it is necessary that nursery 
stock be packed which means a packing charge as follows:

DELIVERY SCHEDULE 
This schedule is arranged to give you the best possible delivery service and is followea 
closely. However, any time you place an order for a full truckload, shipment can leave the 
nursery within a few days after the order is placed, regardless of the schedule. If the first 
of the month falls on a Wednesday or earlier, that week is considered the first week of the 
month as pertaining to the schedule below. Keep in mind that the minimum orders listed in 
the schedule are required if your stock is to be shipped by our truck or contracted carrier, 
however, only an order of $20.00 is required to have your stock shipped by express motor 
freight, or parcel post. 
Please—We must have your order a few days before the scheduled delivery. This 
ae ou gives us more time to select better stock, but it does insure delivery on 
schedule.
