plants and bulbs to U.S. points east of the Mississippi. For extra 
costs west of that river, add 5% to remittance. In comparing 
plant prices, remember that ours include most transportation 
costs. Nothing more to pay, unless you live west of the Mississippi, 
and then but a little more. Seeds are fully prepaid in U.S. and 
Canada. 
AUTUMN SEED SOWING—Sow in October, November and on 
into early winter, seeds of the many kinds that need cold as a

seed beds or in cold frames. This includes seeds of Lilies, Primulas, 
Gentians, Irises and Aconitums, along with the hundreds of other 
kinds marked in our catalog #63 with key letters KT, YT or Y.
