WHEN TO ORDER. Please order as soon as possible after you receive this 
catalog, while our stock is complete. 
YOUR ORDER AND REMITTANCE WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY RETURN MAIL and

WE SHIP AT PLANTING TIME. Our shipping season begins on April 15th. By 
this time the frost is out of the ground and the land is in workable condition. 
All potted plants are shipped from April 15 to November 15 and all through 
the summer months. Shipping time for bare root, field grown plants is limited 
to the months of April and May and October to November 15. 
LOW QUANTITY-PRICES. Savings in handling costs are reflected*in considerably 
lower quantity-prices. Take advantage of this, especially when purchasing 
ground cover plants. Plants must be of one kind or variety to earn the 
quantity discount. 
Quantity Discount Schedule: 
1 or 2 plants of one kind are sold only where the each rate is quoted. 
No less than 8 plants can be sold where the three rate is listed. 
8 to 5 plants of one kind are sold at the three rate. 
6 to 24 plants of one kind are sold at the dozen rate. 
25 or more plants of one kind are sold at the 100 rate. 
250 or more plants of one kind are sold at the 1,000 rate. 
Example: 1 Thorndale Ivy costs $1.25, 100 Thorndale Ivies cost $75.00 or 
75c each. If you purchase 25 Thorndale Ivies, the 100 price applies, making 
the total $18.75. This is a saving of 40%.
