Living Gifts 
FOR YOUR GARDENING FRIENDS 
This spring we are instituting a plan whereby you may order items we have to sell as gifts to your friends. 
We have a beautiful Gift Certificate we will send your friend upon hearing from you. Simply tell us your 
address, his or her address and the amount you wish to spend. If you wish to order specific plants or sun- 
dries, you may do so on the enclosed order blank. We will send the Gift Certificate and our latest catalog 
to your friend at once. The plants, etc., will follow at the proper time for the locality in question. This 
Gift Certificate is redeemable for one year for merchandise only. 
Incidentally, the recipient may visit the nursery when convenient and use the Gift Certificate for other 
plant material than that mentioned in the catalog.

GUARANTEE 
Plants are like people—living creatures occasionally 
subject to ills and fits of temperament. They need some care 
both from the nursery supplying them and from you, the 
recipient. Also, plants are usually shipped in a state of rela- 
tive dormancy; at that time they appear quite small in most 
cases. As a rule, they will take hold and grow for you with a 
little help. 
We want to keep our old customers and to add new ones 
annually. Hence we will do our best to keep everyone satis- 
fied. We will replace or refund the money on any United 
States shipment arriving in poor condition. Please let us 
know within 5 days. 
TIME OF SHIPPING 
We ship orders when the time is safe and proper for your 
locality. Mum plants, being started under glass, should not 
be set out until frost danger is past. 
LOCAL TRADE. We recommend the period from May 
15 to July 1 for Mum planting hereabouts. About June 15 
is a happy medium.

Prices in this catalog are Spring prices for bare-root plants or small pot plants 
only. Mature plants dug in Summer or Fall cost more according to variety and size. 
Postpaid Policy 
All orders amounting to $3.00 or more prepaid east of the Mississippi; west of the 
Mississippi, please add 10% to the amount of the order. 
On all orders of less than $3.00, please add 35c for packing and postage. 
Did You Know— 
that the ratio of new varieties of Mums introduced to seedlings raised for trial is roughly 1 : 1,000? From 
about 5,000 seedlings, mostly hand-pollinated, set out annually we seldom name over 5.
