ADVANCE PRICE LIST 
(For Delivery Spring °56) 
PRICES are FOB Waynesboro, Penna. Delivery by 
our truck direct to your establishment, at very 
reasonable rates, or you can pick up the stock with 
your own truck. We make no shipments by common 
carriers because packing costs and transportation 
charges are entirely out of proportion. 
TERMS: Usual. No cash discounts are deductable. 
RATES AND QUANTITY DISCOUNTS: Prices 
shown are “per 100”, but apply to flatfuls. 50-2” 
banded plants are a flatful, and 100 rates apply; 
likewise 24-3” banded plants, or 20-3” clay pots, 
or 11-4” clay pots, in each case make a flatful, and 
the 100 rates apply. To iliustrate, 50 Abelias in 2” 
bands are a flatful, and 100 rate applies; but, 11 
Magnolias in 4” pots are a flatful, and are sold at

single variety are sold at 5% off the 100 rate quoted; 
1000 cr more plants of a single variety are sold at 
10% cff the 100 rate. 
OUR TRUCK DELIVERY SERVICE: ~ Because 
present day packing and transportation costs are 
much too high, we make deliveries with our own 
trucks. The trucks are equipped with special bodies, 
and the plants are delivered in flats; thus there is no 
packing charge. Deliveries are made statewide to 
the following: all New England states, New York, 
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland 
Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia, and 
some sections of North and South Carolina, Illinois, 
Indiana, Missouri, and Eastern Michigan. We will 
deliver anywhere we can accumulate orders for a full 
minimum lIcad. Our smaller trucks each handle 5200 
plants in 2” bands (104 flats); the larger trucks each 
handle 18,500 plants in 2” bands or 270 flats. But 
deliveries will be made of lots of any quantities in 
the areas and states mentioned above. 
DELIVERY CHARGES: 2” banded plants average a 
little over 60 lbs. per 100 plants (30 lb. per flat of 50). 
To establish equitable trucking charges to all points, 
the charges are based on the same principle as R. R. 
Iixpress charges, except that the trucking charges 
are considerably lower. Take a shipment of 1500 
(900 lbs., or 30 flats) 2” banded plants to Trenton, 
New Jersey, as an illustration; Old R. R. Express 
Guide shows the second class charges to Trenton for 
the 900 lbs. as $26.65. Deduct 25% and you have 
$19.24, which would be our charge for truck delivery. 
The same shipment to either New York City, Dans- 
ville, or Ithaca, N. Y.; Wheeling and Hinton, W. Va.; 
E. Liverpool, Ohio; Blacksburg, Chatham, and 
Suffolk, Va., would cost exactly the same. (Present 
day express costs for the same shipment would be 
$36.27 plus tax.) 
Full loads of 5200 plants (or 104 flats) will be billed 
at above schedule less 33-1/3%, and full loads of
