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 
what 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 correspondance 
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 37. 
Shipping: We recommend shipping by railway express, transportation charges 
collect. Parcel post is more economical for small orders. We will estimate the post- 
age when confirming your order. Parcel post shipments cannot be insured against 
frost damage, only against breakage. If damage occurs, file claim immediately with 
express company or postmaster. Our responsibility ends when package is accepted 
by carrier. 
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 inform 
us of any unusual requirements for shipping plants into your country. Foreign ship- 
ments cannot be insured regardless of method of transportation. We recommend 
foreign payments in postal money orders.
