There are, however, some items that are too 
large to ship by parcel post, such as 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 ehiomeate 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.
