HOW YOUR NURSERY ORDER IS SHIPPED 
SMALL ORDERS—On nursery orders under $1.50, it is necessary to in- 
clude l5c extra packing charge due to high cost of properly packing 
live plants. No packing charge on orders of $1.50 or more. 
SHIPPING CHARGES—Nursery orders in which all items are quoted 
prepaid will be shipped prepaid by parcel post or express, depending 
on which method is cheaper. Large shipments generally go express. 
NOT PREPAID ITEMS include large size, heavy shade trees and are 
offered not prepaid by freight, truck, or express. Customer to pay express 
or freight charges when he receives shipment. 
ORDERS CONTAINING BOTH Prepaid and Not Prepaid Nursery items 
will be sent in one shipment by express, not prepaid. With these ship- 
ments we will include extra stock representing a greater value than the 
postage on any prepaid items included in shipment. 
NO NURSERY SHIPMENTS INTO THESE STATES—because of great dis- 
tances and high permit fees: Florida, New Mexico, Nevada, and Canada. 
SHIPPING TIME—We start shipping about March 15, depending on 
weather, and continue through April and May. We try to have shipment 
arrive at best planting time in your section.
