These prices apply only on orders for 10 or more roots of any variety. If less than 10 roots are 
ordered add 5e per root to cover additional cost of labelling and packing.

claims and to help defray transportation charges. This extra count is figured on even multiples of ten only. 
As packed for shipment roots weigh approximately 15 lbs. per hundred.
