Shrubs can only be sent by Freight or Express, at purchaser's expense. They are too heavy and large to be sent by mail. No charge for boxes, packing or delivery to express, freight or steamship lines in Philadelphia. CHRUBS are as much a part of the well balanced garden as the lawn or flower borders.

The late autumn is the ideal time to plant Shrubs. The plants can usually be dug any time after the middle of October and set out from then until the ground is frozen, which rarely happens before December in this latitude.
