All plants are state inspected and shipped in pots. Small plants are es and 3 tnehées | 
tall. These ship best and keep on growing. Give other varieties in which you are 
interested, if plants are smaller than usual I include an extra plant or a larger 
size. Leaves rooted and potted the same as small plants, add 15¢ to price of fresh 
cut leaves. In all orders $10.00 or over we will include extra plants or cuttings 
or both. 
Many other varieties are available in too small quantities to list. Ask about any 
others you are interested in. Any questions on varieties will be answered if stamp 
is enclosed. Substitutions will be made unless instructions are to the contrary. 
An extra list of later varieties will be ready in July. Send stamp with request for 
list. 
Due to the increased parcel post rates we cannot continue to sell plants for 60 and 
75¢ an pay parcel post fee so every order must be accompanied by a mailing fee of 
75¢ for insured parcel post or $1.00 for Special Handling or Special Delivery. State 
which you desire. No orders sent without mailing fee.
