@ It is agreed by experts that fall is an ideal time to plant 
nearly all varieties of trees, shrubs, and plants. The early 
fall rains give them a flying start. 
@ Many shrubs and plants planted in the fall will bloom excep- 
tionally well in the spring, whereas, spring planting may not 
be favorable to an early bloom. 
@ The condition of the soil is usually very excellent for. success- 
ful transplanting in the fall. A wet spring or a dry spring 
might make it impossible for you to plant. 
WE RETURN ALL PAPERS. All papers pertaining to your orders will be returned to you 
when the order is acknowledged. Do not destroy them. If it becomes necessary to write us

ence, original order and shipping tags. It is not necessary to return planting instructions. 
WE PAY POSTAGE ON MOST ITEMS 
You will please note that most items listed in our Fall Catalog are delivered to you postpaid, 
and are so listed. This saves you money. 
There are, however, some items that are too large to ship by parcel post, such ass fruit trees 
and shade trees. There are items such as hedge plants and some varieties and quantities of 
berry plants that are listed at such a low price for the high quality of stock that we cannot afford 
to pay the shipping charges. These items are shipped to you transportation charges collect. 
In some orders there are trees which must go by express, and also some stock which would 
ordinarily go by parcel post. In order to avoid making two separate shipments we send the entire 
order by express. For this privilege we include extra stock which has a greater value than the 
amount of the extra transportation charges. When selecting this extra stock for you we choose 
items that fit in with the other items on your order. 
ORDER BY MAIL 
Mail order buying of nursery stock is the 
best way, because plants are handled by 
experts and they do not lie around under 
the questionable care of incompetent per- 
sons. We will ship at the proper planting 
time. Strawberries cannot be shipped until 
Oct. 10.
