TERMS: Cash with order. Postage prepaid in U.S.A. on retail orders. Foreign countries 
please add 20% to cost of plants, to allow for extra packing and postage. Those living in Califor- 
nia, please do not forget the 3% sales tax. Specimen plants shipped Express Collect. Orders for 
less than $1.50, please add 25c to cover shipping costs. 
PRICES: Quoted according to availability and rarity of plants, In this list, we are endeavor- 
ing to list the most desirable and best growing varieties. We have hundreds of good ones not in- 
cluded herein and, if you desire any special one not listed, please write us. We probably also have 
it. Prices are quoted on 10 to 12 inch cuttings, unless otherwise stated. 
PLEASE: Always give us at least a few second choices to select from. It might be that the 
variety you desire is not in good condition for cutting at that time of the year and we could send 
you only a poor or small cutting. Whenever that is the case, we must take it upon ourselves to sub- 
stitute for you, rather than ship out inferior cuts, and when we must do this, we will always try to 
ship something similar so that you will be well pleased. 
COMPLAINTS: All merchandise is in A-1 shape when it is selected for you at our gardens. 
If any plant is damaged in transit, complaints must be made to us, in writing, within 10 days after

their own risk. We will pack such orders very carefully, but we cannot guarantee against freezing.
