Notes on Shipping 
We recommend and urge our customers, 
if at all possible, that plants be called for 
by car or truck at the nursery. Shipment 
by less-carlot freight is generally unsatis- 
factory due to the length of time in transit, 
and Express shipping costs (plus packing 
costs) are high due to the weight involved. 
Before placing your order we again wish 
to call attention to the acid soil requirement 
of Rhododendrons. If you are in a section 
that is definitely a limestone belt, special 
soil preparation and after care will be re- 
quired. Rhododendrons are not recom- 
mended although with proper care you 
should have fair success. 
The area to which we can make ship- 
ments without treatment, is largely re- 
stricted to the Northeastern United States 
due to a quarantine of the U. S. Depart- 
ment of Argiculture in controlling the spread 
of Japanese Beetle. At present the quaran- 
tine (area to which we can ship) includes 
the entire states of Connecticut, Delaware, 
District of Columbia, Massachusetts, New 
Jersey, Rhode Island; all of Pennsylvania 
except parts of Mercer, Crawford, and Erie 
Counties; and parts of the states of Maine, 
Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, 
Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. 
Changes in this controlled area are made 
from time to time, and if you are in doubt 
as to whether your locality is in or out of 
the area we will be most happy to advise 
whether shipments could be made to you
