We plan our second catalogue before the copy for the first reaches the printer. 
We cannot stop in flight, as it were, the result of enthusiastic efforts over the 
last twenty years to find and distribute exciting and beautiful plants. Many fine 
items are as yet represented by single plants; it is premature, therefore to des- 
cribe them here. If you have a continuing interest in plants, we trust that you 
will ask for subsequent catalogues. 
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING 
Limited stock in shipping sizes is kept on hand for some of the plants des- 
cribed. If we cannot ship the plants wanted within a reasonable time, we shall re- 
turn your remittance and place your request on back order. When the plants are 
ready, we shall notify you. 
TERMS: Cash with order. On small orders (minimum $3.00) we shall ship by Par- 
cel Post if you include postage with order. For postage and packing please add 10% 
of order, minimum 60c. Otherwise we shall ship small orders (those below $10.00) 
by Railway Express, collect. If you desire to use the Special Delivery service of 
the United States Post Office Department, add 45c to order. We advise using this 
service. 
For air mail, add 80c per pound with a minimum of two pounds. You may estimate 
the air-mail postage as follows: 
1 to 3 plants—2 pounds. 
4 to 15 plants—2 to 10 pounds. 
over 15 plants—over 10 pounds. 
On orders of $10.00 or more we make no charge for packing, and usually send the 
plants by Railway Express, collect. 
We ship out of pots unless otherwise requested. Foreign shipments and those to 
the Hawaiian Islands are shipped via air freight, free of soil, F.O.B. Los Angeles. 
The safest way to ship plants is by Railway Express or air freight, as in the 
event of mishandling or damage in transit the carrier will usually make a satisfac- 
tory adjustment. 
Sizes of plants are determined by growth habits. Small plants are usually off- 
shoots, divisions, or established rooted cuttings in 24%4” to 3” pots. Medium plants 
are older and usually out of 4” to 5” pots. Large sizes vary with the nature of the 
particular species.
