PLEASE NOTE: 3 and dozen rates apply only to identical plants and not to a

TYPE OF PLANTS—We do not ship worn out field grown plants. Our entire stock is re-set each season at very great expense, 
but it insures our customers healthy young plants that establish easily and grow vigorously. In most cases these are supplied 
with a small earth ball which helps to maintain life and vigor while in transit. Do not remove this earth ball. If dry, dip lightly 
in water and plant intact. 
Our packing is done by expert packers and even with the slow transportation of these times our stock goes to every state in 
the union in excellent condition. 
All plants listed in this section may be planted either spring or fall 
Before ordering, please read carefully instructions on page 3
