“Recollection of Quality 
Remains Long After Price Is Forgotten” 
So Our Policy is... 
You be the Judge of Value — We Are Anxious to Please 
GROWING instructions are sent with all orders; tells how to mix your 
own soil for best results, gives many hints on propagation, how to save a plant 
that has been damaged; information on watering, fertilizing. You don’t need 
a green thumb, just a few rules! 
Since we cannot ship plants during winter months, all orders received in 
the winter will be put on record and we will commence mailing plants starting 
mid-April or so. Whenever the weather in Detroit is above 40°. Since we would 
have to replace at our expense any that arrive damaged, you can understand our 
caution. Earlier shipments will be made at customer’s insistence . .. and risk. 
But it takes so long to grow a nice plant, we hope you will allow us to select 
the proper shipping time to your area. The non-perishables like soil, etc., will be 
mailed in any weather. 
ORDER EARLY because many of the newer varieties are in scarce supply. 
We will not substitute unless you mention 2nd choice. If temporarily out of stock 
may we hold your order and send that variety a bit later? 
OUR CATALOG is sent regularly to customers on record. 
EVERYTHING is priced POSTPAID to your door (mo C.O.D.). 
ALL PLANTS are true to name, top quality and size, State Inspected and 
free from insect pests and disease. Varieties not listed may be under propagation; 
your inquiries are solicited. 
Dear Mrs. Spoutz: 
I have a friend who appreciates house- 
plants . . . send your catalog to

No matter what your selection, you are assured of 
Quality Plants amd Quality Packing.
