13,500 plants (or 270 flats, if part is of 3” bands or 
clay pots of various sizes) will be billed at 50% from 
the above schedule. 
Nearby points will, cf course be less, whereas more 
distant points will be more; but you can, by using 60 
lb. per 100 plants or 30 lb. per flat, and Express Scale 
11, less the discount applicable, and calculate the 
exact cost to you of our trucking service. Or, write 
us and we will be happy to give you the figures. 
A minimum charge of $2.00 is made on small lots. 
WE HOPE 
that some of you, our good customers, will be 
disappointed with this list because we have had to 
omit our usual line of “guff”. Others, we unhappily 
admit, will roll their eyes skyward and _ piously 
relieve themselves of a “‘thank heavens”’. 
To keep the record straight, we admit that this list 
is a radical departure from our usual, and for some 
very good reasons, viz. (a) Trouble selecting a sub- 
ject; (b) Hurry up job — Many requests for price 
lists and nothing but ancient bulletins on hand; (c) 
Days don’t have enough hours. 
Maybe you’ve noticed that our prior bulletins have 
been built with the thought of giving out with a 
little cultural information. Some of the smart 
advertising boys tell us that we’re wasting a lot of 
money and nettling our ulcer to no good end. They 
say that when our customers pick up our price lists 
they want prices, and not a lot of drivel. They tell 
us that it’s a wonder that anybody goes to the trouble 
of hunting for our prices. Some of you certainly 
must, however, because we do get some very fine 
orders from these price bulletins. 
So, we’ve decided to find cut for ourselves; — run a 
sort of plebiscite. If you have taken the time to read 
this far, give us a hand. Write us a note and tell us 
if we should continue “Growing Pains”, which, in 
case you haven’t previously noted, is the section of 
our bulletin where we have been divesting ourselves 
of our eloquence. 
As long as you are at it, you may as well do us 
another favor too, and help us with the matter of a 
subject. 
We’ve had several requests for cultural dope on 
things we propagate other than the ericaceous group 
of plants.- Some information on the best way to 
handle different liner varieties, how to shape the 
plants from year to year; fertilizers, irrigation 
suggestions, etc. Would you like that? 
Or, we have had a notion that a rip-snorting dis- 
sertation on nursery bookkeeping might be popular. 
We won’t say that we like to pay Income Taxes, but 
we will say that we definitely don’t like to pay more 
than we should. How to keep your records may have
