Shipping Cartons 
Distant Local of our service to you. 
Shipping 
We do net charge for packing. Local gift shipments 
are packaged in attractive containers, which you see pic- 
tured to the right, and distant shipments travel safely in our 
special orchid cartons, all over the word. A three page 
folder of GROWING INSTRUCTIONS sent FREE with all 
orders—the complete information you need to grow your 
orchids. 
We ship VIA RAILWAY EXPRESS, unless otherwise 
directed, and guarantee safe arrival. AIR SHIPMENTS are 
about twice the cost of rail, outside of California, except 
for large orders, when reasonable rates to most metropoli- 
tan points may be obtained by shipping air freight. We 
do not suggest parcelpost shipment except where absolutely 
necessary, on plant shipments. Should your plant arrive 
damaged, please request inspection from the carrier, and 
SEND THEIR REPORT TO US. We will replace damaged 
plants, BUT NEED THIS CARRIER REPORT IN ORDER 
TO DO SO. 
Orders received AFTER DECEMBER 20th, will be HELD 
FOR SHIPMENT until March 15th, UNLESS CUSTOMER 
REQUESTS SHIPMENT AT HIS OWN RISK, if destination 
or ROUTE IN TRANSIT will subject the plants to freezing 
weather.
