INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING 
Please use enclosed green order sheet to send in your order. Do not send money 
first time. We may be out of plants you want. We will check items you wish and 
sizes, will confirm your order, and return green sheet to you so you can see exactly 
whai plants we have for you. Then please send green sheet to us with check or 
money order for the exact total due. This system avoids unnecessary correspondence 
for you and extra bookkeeping for us. Packing charges are made at cost. 
Minimum orchid order $5.00. Minimum foliage order $2.00. We reserve the right 
to limit quantities sold. Discounts allowed on orchids are given on page 39. 
Shipping: We recommend shipping by railway express, transportation charges 
collect. Mail shipments are more economical for seedlings, and we will estimate the 
the postage when confirming your order. Mail shipments cannot be insured, therefore, 
if you want insurance, railway express is preferable. We can ship plants in paper 
pots to save weight. 
Damage claims: We make every effort to pack strong and light. However, our 
responsibility ends when accepted by carrier. If damage occurs, file claim immediate- 
ly with railway express. Claims are infrequent with our packing methods. 
Foreign shipments: We have fulfilled necessary plant regulations to make ship- 
ments outside of the U. S. Send your permit with order. Hawaiian orders require a 
permit for orchid but not foliage plants. Check with your local authorities and in- 
form us of any unusual requirements for shipping plants into your country. Foreign 
shipments cannot be insured regardless of method of transportation. We recommend 
foreign payments in postal money orders.
