PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING
Only top quality rhizomes are shipped. Of course some varie-

until 8:00 p.m. Orders may be placed any time upon 25 per cent de-
posit. Minimum deposit $1.00. Balance due when plants are ready
for delivery.
Greenhuose is closed Sunday P. M.
Late in the season it is preferable that you express a second
choice as some varieties sell out early and we do not substitute with-

favorites in the rear of the catalogue.
Cultural Directions will be enclosed with each order.
