TIPS ON ORDERING 
BOOK AHEAD IF POSSIBLE—It helps reserve short items. It helps plan shipping 
dates during rush periods. 
BE SURE WE HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER—We include it with your address 
on all packages. It helps avoid delays. 
AIR EXPRESS is requested by many growers when they really mean AIR- 
FREIGHT. If you do want AIR EXPRESS (see shipping methods) please under- 
score the word or make special note of it. 
ORDERS FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT are aided if you will direct us in case of 
shortages, to send: callused cuttings, a like-variety, backorder if available 
soon, or refund. 
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS should order for shipment before the winter ban on 
perishables (usually October 15th). 
MOST DELAYS AND LOSSES occur in the actual destination city. We send an 
airmail postal card or letter the day the shipment is made. You should notify 
the post office, Express agency, or airfield that you are expecting a shipment 
and arrange to pick up the order yourself, if possible. Day-long rides in 
delivery trucks during extreme heat or cold damage stock. 
PAYMENT may be made by check or money order with the order; or, on 
reserved orders, payment may be sent anytime before shipping date. Many 
growers prefer to have their, orders sent COD, which may be done with any 
method of shipping. However, we must have your written permission to ship 
COD. 
CLAIMS are very seldom necessary. OPEN CARTONS UPON ARRIVAL. If the 
shipment shows signs of frost, sweating, or damage due to rough handling 
get an inspection slip from your agent and file a claim for a portion or all of 
the shipment as conditions may warrant. 
CALIFORNIA CUSTOMERS MUST INCLUDE SALES TAX PERMIT NUMBER
