amount of postage for same After your order is shipped and if we 
find you have sent. too much money, we will refund same to you at 
once. Owing to the impossibility of determining anywhere near the 
accurate cost of shipping stock by parcel post, we recommend that it 
be sent C.O.D. for postage. If parcel post shipment is requested and 
shipping charges not included, we naturally assume that you want 
plants shipped C.O.D. for the postage
