Dear Friends, 

We continue to grow, not only as a business, but as a medium 

between plants and gardeners, plant collectors, horticulturalists, 

and new garden apprentices. Each of us impacts the other, as we 

change our environs and our relationship to it. 

The foundation of the garden and nursery has and will always be 

the “rhododendron”, some being 50 to 80 years of age, while others 

are just first graders, or teenagers. Interspersed among this 

prestigious group is a wonderful selection of magnolias, maples, 

kalmias, camellias, conifers and a growing variety of bulbs, 

perennials and ornamental trees. 

We continue to collect plants from around the world and add them 

to our garden and nursery. As a result, the consumer has a greater 

choice than ever before, of not only new plants, but those time 

honored ones. 

Our experienced and dedicated staff is here to serve and assist 

you with your horticultural needs. Thank you for that privilege, 

as we pride ourselves in being given that honor. 

Bloom Time: The peak blooming season usually occurs around 

Mothers' Day. However, many rhododendrons, azaleas, kalmias, 

flowering trees and shrubs continue to bloom well into June and 

a few into early July. Early blooming rhododendrons start 

showing color in early February. Fragrant rhododendrons and 

azaleas bloom in late April and early May. 

The Autumn leaf color occurs from mid-October to early 

November, and is an uncommonly beautiful sight with the multitude 

of large trees and shrubs. From late November through late 

December the spawning chum salmon can be seen in our meandering 

creek. From mid-October, the “Garden” is transformed with 

our various lighting displays - Halloween, and of course, the grand 

daddy of them all is our Christmas Lighting Celebration. There is 

a lot of “Merry” in our Christmas. 

Reservations: 

It is helpful to make reservations for large groups. This insures 

the presence of ample staff to better serve your needs along with 

the necessary space and time to enhance each person's visit. 

Admission Charge: $1.00/person. Children under 12 are admitted 

free. 

Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are available at a nominal fee. 

What to Wear: 

We encourage visitors to dress for the elements, particularly in 

casual clothing and comfortable walking shoes. It may be deemed 

appropriate to bring along an umbrella and/or boots. Brinnon 

receives an annual rainfall of approximately 55 inches every year, 

which is about the same as the Seattle/ Tacoma areas. 

How Much Walking: 

There are many pathways throughout this 7-acre site. Most are 

covered with a combination of sand and gravel, and a few are 

grass-covered. The gently sloping terrain is not totally suited to 

wheelchairs. Benches are placed throughout the garden. A leisurely 

stroll takes approximately one to two hours over one-half 

mile of pathways.

Planting Environment. Even though we recommend (1) some shade for 

a particular plant, most rhododendrons can be grown in a great deal of 

sun. Our growing fields, as an example are located in the sunniest part of 

the garden. However, in the long term, some shade or filtered shade is 

recommended, especially for the longevity of the bloom, for the protection 

from the summer sun and/or winter winds, and for a greener leaf 

color. Too much shade encourages rank growth and fewer blooms. 

There is three recommended planting environs: (1) some shade, (2) sun 

and (3) reflected heat or heat resistant. 

(2) Sun—indicates planting in total sunshine. 

(3) Reflected Heat—indicates planting in total sunshine next to a structure, 

such as a building, a fence, a sidewalk, etc. This environs produces 

and generates an additional heat factor. Plant only those rhododendrons 

that are designated as heat resistant. 

The following list of plants is currently available. However, many other 

plant selections, even though grown in small quantities, are available, but 

not listed in this publication. Please write or call. 

Pricing Schedule: The following price schedule applies to all rhododendrons 

unless otherwise indicated. Prices are subject to change without 

notice.

We have frequent inquiries regarding a list of rhododendron varieties that 

are the best of all that we grow. This is indeed difficult to determine and 

very interpretative; however plants marked by ∗ are the varieties we have 

selected. Many varieties are to new to specifically rate or select, however 

the test of time is always a wonderful indicator.

Whitney, Bill made the actual cross of Anna Rose Whitney. However, 

Van Veen grew out the seed, from which Bill and Faye purchased the 

superior seedling for $20.00. Bill later registered and named the plant

exhibit various tones of pink with some freckling in the throat. (Endtz) 

18”- 21” 

Apollo Touch (Nancy Evans x Mrs. Furnival) 

Sun or Part Shade Low 3’ Late April Pink/Yellow 0°F. 

Bright coral buds open to reveal rounded yellow blooms that transition 

to pale purplish-pink wavy-edged margins highlighted by a 

larger brick red flare/freckling in the throat. Pale pink midribs 

extend from the throat to the margins and a small calyx also ornaments 

this 5” bloom. Matte forest green leaves are held for 2 years.

by a large calyx. This upright, spreading plant has ample medium 

olive-green leaves. (Brockenbrough 1987) 8”- 10”, 10”- 12” 

Arabella (R. yakushimanum ‘Koichiro Wada’ x Kluis Sensation) 

Sun or Part Shade Low 3’ Mid-May Pink/White -5°F. 

Ball-shaped blooms have a narrow band of deep rosy-pink ruffled edging 

that quickly transcends to blush white within, along with red freckling on 

the dorsal lobes. Deep matte olive-green leaves generously mantle this 

well-branching rounded superstructure. Leaves have beige indumentum 

beneath as well as juvenile growth with pale beige overtones. (Benannt

amply produced. (Sanders) 12”- 15” 

Aroma from Tacoma (Naomi x Loderi King George) 

Some Shade Tall 6’ Early May Fragrant Pink 0°F. 

Since the city of Tacoma has always been given a bad rap for its many 

unfortunate odors, we thought this was a great tribute to its’ clean-up 

efforts. Large fragrant pink blooms systematically blanket this strong, 

upright growing plant with typical Loderi-shaped leaves that totally 

inundate this tree-like cultivar. (Larson) (Fall 2010) 6”- 8”

6” wide and 3” high. However the most remarkable feature is being a full 

double of medium yellow that is ornamented with wavy-edges and a 

small ¼” calyx. The well-branching, more upright growing plant is heavily 

frameworked with a periphery of glossy deep jade green leaves held

Avalanche (Loderi Grex x R. calophytum) 

Some Shade Tall 6’ Late May Fragrant White 0°F. 

This plant is a rather rare plant to locate, as most propagators face challenges 

in rooting it. We are at times successful. Large meduim green 

leaves are exhibited only one year on this plant, however this leafy canopy 

silhouettes a well-branching rounded promenade. Large flat-topped 

white blooms are beautifully highlighted by a red flare/freckling in the 

throat. (Rothchild 1934) 6”- 8” $15.00

∗Azurwolke (R. russatum x Blue Diamond) 

Sun or Part Shade Semi-Dwarf 2' Mid-April Blue -8°F. 

This dense, rounded plant produces a bounty of small blooms covering 

attractive evergreen foliage. Excellent plant for rock gardens. (Hachmann 

1977) 10”- 12” 

Babette (R. yakushimanum x Flava) 

Sun or Part Shade Low 2½’ Early May Cream -5°F. 

Laxed-shaped, creamy-yellow blooms are beautifully ornamented with a 

red flare within. A wealth of buds open to shroud this rounded canopy

Camellias 

The genus Camellia originally found in China, Japan and Southeast Asia, 

is grown throughout the world, where conditions and climate allow 

(-5°F. to 100°F.) 

These evergreen shrubs need some shade and protection from drying 

winds, so plant on the north or east side of a structure or under tall deeprooted 

shade trees or under lath. They also need well-drained soil and 

acid type fertilizer (same as the rhododendron). Prune right after flowering. 

Camillias can be grown very successfully in containers, espaliered 

against a wall or as trained topiary.

Evergreen Azaleas 

Evergreen azaleas bloom from April through June. They vary from low, 

dense and compact to tall, open and willowy with a tremendous array of 

colors - red, salmon-orange, pink, white, orchid-purple. They are 

very versatile - some are used as ground covers, some have pendant 

growth suitable for hanging baskets, some are used in rock gardens and 

borders, and some for bonsai. 

They vary in hardiness 

from +5°F. to -15°F.; vary in exposure from part shade to full sun 

(not reflected heat); and vary in growth habit in ten years from dwarf 

- under 1', low - 1' to 2', medium - 2' to 3', and tall - over 3'. 

Rhododendrons and azaleas are very easy to care for, with only a minimum 

amount of maintenance required. Some azaleas, as an example, are 

susceptible to azalea leaf gall; and as a consequence, must be sprayed 

with a fixed copper spray (Microcop). Or some year’s petal blight, rust 

and downy mildew are quite prevalent and a garden fungicide must be 

applied. 

Some home gardeners would prefer not to use chemicals, and in that case 

azalea leaf gall can be hand picked and the residue burned. However, 

another way to combat this problem is to plant in sunnier locations in the 

garden. Sometimes, however, the spring and/or summer has an over 

abundance of precipitation causing an increased problem with leaf gall, 

etc. Whatever the circumstances, care is usually minimal. The following 

list of available evergreen azaleas gives the consumer sufficient information 

to make decisions regarding their landscaping needs. All are container 

grown and are totally acclimated. Many plants can be grown in 

full sun and will be designated as such. We may suggest part shade only 

for the longevity of the bloom, for greener foliage color, or protection 

from the wind.

Growing Clematis 

These wonderful perennial vines display delightful clusters of blooms, from eary spring throughout the summer 

and some into the fall. Though Clematis have sometimes been labeled ‘finicky’ or ‘hard to grow’, they 

can be grown with flying colors when you do the following: 1) Place in a sunny spot where the soil is shaded 

by nearby plants or ground covers. 2) Provide a trellis or framework for the vine to climb, such as a fence 

top, roof gables or a tree. 3) Clematis like a well-drained soil that is near a neutral in pH. For the more acid 

soils west of the Cascades, one medium handful of dolomite lime mixed into the soil beneath the plant’s root 

ball will help to gradually sweeten the soil. (Do not use hydrated lime, as it will burn.) (4. Plant the root ball 

one or two inches below the surrounding soil level, to help the plant develop a strong crown. Clematis are 

hardy from -30°F. to -40°F. 

This is a list of blooming/pruning information for the varieties available here at the Nursery. To clarify, the 

pruning comments indicated below, hard means cutting the whole plant down to about 6” to 8” above the 

ground level and none means trimming only to guide or shape the plant. Prune after bloom, conserving the 

major stems. Corrective light pruning/pinching helps to encourage lower branching to stave off an exposed 

base. Both evergreen clematis armandii and paniculata are hard to -10°F. as well as the montanas. 1 gallon - 

$15.00, 2 gallon clematis - $20.00

Planting Instructions 

Warning: do not plant rhododendrons and azaleas around native 

cedar trees, big leaf maples or other tress with invasive root 

structures. 

Site Selection - The site you choose must provide the type of environment 

necessary for your plant to establish itself and thrive. The 

site selection must either protect from damaging winds, shallow 

rooted trees. or reflected heat from wooden or masonry walls, fences 

and buildings, or under a roof overhang where watering is a problem 

or in areas too shaded to produce blooms. 

Determine the surface and sub-surface drainage, dig a hole, fill it 

with water and see how long it takes for the water to disappear. 

Rhododendrons and azaleas will not do well in poorly drained soils. 

Too much water displaces all of the oxygen in the soil and the roots 

literally suffocate and rot. To correct poorly drained areas, build up 

the area with good soils directly on top of the existing soil. 

Soil Preparation - Rhododendrons should be planted in porous, 

well-drained acid soil (pH 4.5 to 6). Organic material should make 

up at least 25%- 50% of the soil. This includes any natural material 

such as decayed leaves, compost, pine needles, sawdust, peat moss, 

rotted or processed manure and shredded wood/bark (salt free). Work 

into the soil to a depth of at least 15”-24”. Also add sand and gypsum 

to havy clay soil to improve drainage and reduce compaction. Add 

humus to sandy soil for moisture retention and nutrient-holding 

capacity. You must provide a comparable interface between the root 

ball and the surrounding soil. which will facilitate water movement 

between the two. 

Plant Preparation - If the root ball seems dry, soak it in a tub of 

water for approximately 30 minutes. If the root ball has burlap 

around it, remove the ties especially from around the stem of the 

plant. Both burlap and ties can totally be removed, if you choose to 

do so. Expose root ends by washing with a forceful stream from a 

hose, or by using a claw or some type of implement for removing the 

outer soil. 

Planting - Dig a large enough hole to provide growth room. Plant the 

root ball level with the ground surface or slightly above. Water the 

area and complete by filling the hole; water again. Do not put any 

granular fertilizer in the hole, with the exception of transplanter 

fertilizer. All granular fertilizer must be placed on top of the soil, 

around the drip-line of the plant, and watered in. 

Mulching - Mulch with 2 to 4 inches of oak leaves, pine needles, 

wood-chips, sawdust, rock or bark. This helps conserve moisture, 

keeping the soil cool and restricting weed growth. Make sure that 

the mulch does not bury the stem of the rhododendron and/or 

azalea. 

Weed Control - Rhododendrons are surface feeder and should have 

limited cultivation. Weeds may be pulled or shaved off with a sharp 

hoe. Newspapers or landscape cloth can also be used under bark as a 

ground cover to control weeds. Chemical weed killers can be used, 

but be very careful, read the directions carefully. 

Watering - A newly planted plant must be watered carefully. We 

suggest the 'trickle down system'. Place a hose by the stem of the 

plant and allow the water to soak deeply into the root ball, for 

approximately one-half hour depending on the size of the plant. It is 

best to water deeply every 6 to 7 days. Roots must also have air 

penetration between watering. An oscillating arm sprinkler and a 

soaker hose are also an excellent means of deep watering. 

Water 3½ to 4 hours at a time to meet requirements for one inch 

of rainfall per week. Those plants located under trees will require a 

different set of perimeters for watering. Plants grown in containers 

must be watered much more frequently than plants grown in the 

ground. The smaller the container, the more frequent the watering. 

Fertilizing - Let's examine the number configuration (10-10-6) on 

the package of fertilizer. The first of the three numbers refers to 

nitrogen (N). This element is absolutely crucial. Plants use nitrogen 

to form proteins, chlorophyll and enzymes to reproduce living cells; 

in other words, growth. 

The next number refers to phosphorus (P), which produces early 

growth, roots and bloom. The last number refers to potassium (K), 

which helps to move sugar and starches throughout the plant. As a 

result, the plant grows roots and resists diseases. 

There are different forms of fertilizers. (1) Water soluble Fertilizers 

- the solution is applied directly onto the soil or container, or on the 

foliage, as nutrients are quickly absorbed and utilized by the plant. 

(2) Dry granular fertilizers - applied directly around the drip-line 

of the plant and watered in. The granules dissolve slowly and last for 

several months. (Example: 5-10-10,10-20-20, 4-12-10, etc.) Use 

approximately 1 T. per foot of growth. (3) Controlled-release 

fertilizer: perpetually nourishes plants from 1 to 'X' number of 

months - ideally suited for containerized plants. 

Plants may not need to be fertilized except to amend an unfavorable 

pH. However, newly planted shrubs should have fertilizer before 

bloom and after bloom. We begin to fertilize here when the soil 

temperature is about 60°F., which normally occurs in late March or 

early April. Another application is given in mid-May and the final 

one in mid-to late June. Very little fertilizer is applied past July 4th. 

Plants need to harden off. Shorter days and cooler nights naturally 

activate this process. 

Also by applying dolomite lime every other year along with your 

fertilizer (approximately l T. per foot of growth), especially in the 

Spring, helps the plant to pick up and utilize the fertilizers better, 

improves the physical properties of the soil, and promotes bacterial 

action for decomposition of plant residues. 

The following will give formulations of various garden fertilizers. 

These configurations will change per manufacturer. Dolomite Lime: 

50% calcium carbonate, 40% magnesium carbonate; Gypsum: 15% 

sulphur, 22% calcium, 5% epson salts; Limestone Flour: 99% calcium 

carbonate; Cotton Seed Meal: 7-2-1; Epsom Salts: 9% magnesium 

sulfate; Vegetable Fertilizer: 5-10-10 or 10-20-20; Rose 

Fertilizer: 4-10-8; Urea: 46-0-0; Ammonium Sulfate: 21-0-0; 

Calcium Nitrate: 15-0-0; Muriate of Potash: 0-0-60 (potassium 

chloride); Treble Superphosphate: 0-45-0; Single Superphosphate: 

0-15-0. 

If you are not sure what fertilizers to use, have your soil tested. 

Contact your local County Cooperative Extension Service for labs 

that will provide soil-testing services. 

Pest and Disease Control - Rhododendrons and azaleas are relatively 

free of pests. One of the major pests is the root weevil. The 

adult weevils feed at night by notching small, irregular or semi-circular 

serrations on the leaf edges. 

The weevil larvae are legless, cream colored, c-shaped from August 

through April when the larvae changes to a pupae and emerges from 

the soil as an adult with legs in mid-May to July. The adults feed on 

foliage and lay eggs 4 to 6 weeks after emergence from the soil. The 

larvae, which emerge from the eggs, burrow into the soil to feed on 

roots throughout the winter. In the spring, they attack larger roots and 

may girdle the crown or main stem of the plant by literally chewing 

away the bark just below the soil line. 

Chemical Control - The most crucial times to foliar spray are those 

areas where leaves indicate actual damage of fresh notches on leaf 

edges. Foliar application should occur (mid-May through July) 

every 2-3 weeks, including treatment of the plant as well as the 

soil surfaces, particularly areas adjacent to the plant. Weevil rest 



during daylight hours in moist and shady spots. On sunny days they 

can be found in leaf and weed litter beneath the plant. On cloudy/ 

rainy days, they may be found on the plant itself. Spray early in the 

morning or late in the day, to minimize the affect on the birds 

and bees.Foliar insecticides registered for controlling black vine 

weevil and strawberry root weevil, include Orthene, Talstar (liquid & 

granular), and Mavrik. The last two have a longer residual property 

and hence greater control. 

Biological & Ecological Controls - Increased interest is developing 

for controlling insects with materials from nature. Lady bugs, as an 

example, prey upon aphids, mites and scale; spiders prey upon flying 

insects; and the ground beetle (Vedalia Lady) preys upon aphids, 

scale, mealy buds and caterpillars. Toads, snakes and birds prey upon 

many garden pests. There are also natural chemicals such as nicotine 

from tobacco, pyrethrum from chrysanthemums and Dimboa from 

corn. Researchers are working on microorganisms that feed on 

insects. A commercial insect called nematodes (Steinernema 

Carpocapsae) is a tool for some control of weevil larvae, as long as 

soil temperatures remain about 60°F., plus an application of water. 

This fall application must be repeated yearly. 

Organic Controls - There are several other measures that can be 

used to reduce the weevil population without sprays. Tangle-foot, 

Stik-Em or Tack Trap can be applied to the trunk of the plant just 

above the ground level. The sticky band acts as a barrier and entrapment. 

Make a pitfall trap by placing a sizable plastic drinking cup into the 

soil near the base of the plant so that the lip of the cup is at soil level. 

Coat the inside of this cup with 30W motor oil or WD 40 to discourage 

the adult weevil from climbing out. To keep rainfall and/or irrigation 

water out of this cup, invert a coffee can or plastic pot over the 

pitfall traps, making legs, etc. Check daily and destroy weevils. 

Fold a burlap bag into 4” accordion folds, holding one end against 

the plant and rotating the burlap around the stem, creating a good 

daytime environment for the adult weevil. After a day or two, cautiously 

unwind the burlap from beneath the plant and shake over a 

white sheet or clear surface. Collect and destroy the weevil. Repeat. 

Cultural Control - Many varieties of rhododendrons and azaleas 

demonstrate considerable weevil resistance. Selecting resistant varieties 

will reduce required maintenance and damage. 

Other Chemical Controls - Some of the minor pests to the genus 

rhododendron are aphid, loopers, cutworms, caterpillars, azalea leaf 

miners, rhododendron lacebugs, and whitefly, which can all be controlled 

by the use of insecticides. Along with the chemical formulation, 

use 1T. per gallon of a sticker or liquid detergent. This helps 

to retain the chemical on the leaf longer. 

Control for Slugs - Slugs and snails are usually controlled with slug 

bait - metaldehyde formulated with cereal grains and molasses 

placed under raised boards. Another method is to use wooden planks. 

The slug attaches to the underside of the plank and by turning over 

the plank, removal is possible. Placing beer or yeast in a shallow 

container attracts slugs and they drown in the container. Ducks, 

snakes and toads will prey upon slugs as natural predators. 

Control for Moles - In the Pacific Northwest; there are several mole 

traps that are recommended. Poison baits should be odorless and 

tasteless. Baits containing chlorophacinone have been effective, 

although more than a single feeding may be necessary to do the job. 

Traps and poison bait must be placed carefully in a main underground 

tunnel, which is usually 6”-10” below the surface. The other 

remedy is to destroy the food chain of the mole. 

Control for Deer - Deer do not like rhododendrons, but love to eat 

azaleas, dogwood blooms, new growth on evergreen trees and 

shrubs. A product called ‘Hinder’ is 80% effective, as long as you 

continue to spray. The uses of certain hand soaps, human hair, blood 

meal, etc. all have questionable effectiveness. 

Control for Algae, Lichen and Moss on Plants - The cool, moist 

and cloudy weather in western Washington is ideal for these organisms. 

They do not directly injure the plants on which they grow. The 

growth is somewhat objectionable and unsightly. Control with copper 

fungicides such as Microcop or lime sulfur. Best applied during 

the dormant season. Remember, that birds use much of this material 

to build their nests. Next time, look at a Hummingbirds’ nest. 

Control of Powdery Mildew - Leaves are covered with a grayish/ 

white powdery fungus growth. It usually affects plants located in 

more shade. At the first sign of the fungus, spray with a registered 

fungicide as Bayleton, Benomyl; also rake up and destroy all fallen 

leaves. 

Control for Rust - To date no fungicides are registered for control 

of this disease. The symptoms are light green to yellow spots randomly 

distributed on the leaf. Yellow to orange powdery spores on 

the underside of the leaf are also associated. 

Caring for Rhododendrons - Rhododendrons should be pruned to 

reduce their stature, to rejuvenate them, to make them more compact 

and to cut away diseased or injured branches. There are two ways of 

controlling the shape, density and size of a rhododendron - pruning 

and pinching (removing growth buds). 

Pruning - Rhododendrons can be cut back early in the spring. By 

using pruning shears and/or saws, cut at an angle just above the termination 

of a growth period. If, however, you want to save the 

bloom, prune after blooming. Big old limbs should be cut at random 

and then after the side shoots have appeared, the stub above that 

point can be removed. 

Pinching (Removing Growth Buds) - Pinching is the removal of a 

single growth bud at the tip of a branch. Any branch tip that shows 

two or more developing shoots is passed by. Pinching can be done in 

the fall; however, if done about blooming time, pinch when growth 

is less than 1” long. Pinching encourages increased foliage density, 

compact growth habit and a greater floral display for the coming 

years. 

Deheading (Removing Faded Flowers) - The best practice is to 

remove by carefully snapping or cutting off all faded trusses soon 

after the flower wilts. Some plants produce a greater abundance 

ofseed, so deheading has a greater importance. Deheading gives the 

plant an immediate well-groomed look and reduces the problem of 

disease as the faded blooms decay, and hopefully, encourages blooms 

for the next year. 

Winter Protection - The aim is to give a plant a ventilated enclosure 

in which temperature fluctuations are more moderate. 1) Wooden 

frame covered with burlap leaving the top open. 2) Other plants or 

trees, lath barriers or fencing. 3) Evergreen trees branches thrust into 

the ground at an angle. 4) A wooden teepee covered with burlap, 

allowing a vented space on top for snow protection. 5) Leaf mulch 

added to the base of the plant in the fall (not to cover foliage, and 

removed in spring) keeps the trunk from splitting and the earth from 

freezing deeply. 

Why plants fail to bloom - It is usually difficult to determine the 

exact cause a particular plant fails to bloom, but in most cases the 

problem is attributed to environmental factors. 1) There is a direct 

correlation between adequate light and bloom. Too much shade 

decreases the bud set. 2) Competition for moisture and nutrients by 

adjacent trees and shrubs also reduces and discourages blooms. 3) If 

you plant your shrub too deep or in a wet area, it reduces the amount 

of oxygen to the roots and again bud set is compromised as well as 

the health of the plant. 4) Pruning at the wrong time of the year. 5) 

Too much nitrogen encourages vegetative growth at the expense of 

bud development. 

Hardiness - A newly planted shrub is hardier after the first year, as 

it establishes itself in its new, healthy and enriched environment. A 

plant is considered totally matured for hardiness at five years of 

age. There are many aspects, which play an important role in hardiness, 

as the amount of water and fertilizer, and when applied; also the 

exposure to wind, sun and freeze and the duration thereof, and the 

amount of snow cover and mulch on the roots, etc. In general, the 

degree of dormancy, the age, the health, the exposure and the 

environment provide the total answer to plant hardiness.

Ordering Information: 

Terms: All orders must be accompanied by a check, money order or 

credit card number. The packing charge of $5.00 will be charged on 

orders less than $50.00. All orders greater than $50.00, add 7% to the 

total plant order. 

We guarantee our plants to be strong, healthy, true to name and of excellent 

quality. 

We accept the following credit cards: VISA, MASTER CARD, 

DISCOVER, and AMERICAN EXPRESS 

Orders: All plant orders are dependent upon crop conditions and supply. 

All orders become the property of the purchaser upon delivery to the 

transportation company. And we are not responsible for loss, damage or 

delay in transit; and in no instance will we be responsible for more than 

the original purchase price. 

Claims: We must be notified within thirty days after receipt of damaged 

plant(s). Any claim after 30 days will result in a questionable claim, and 

a claim for only one-half of the original purchase price. 

Shipping: We use the following carriers for shipping: U.S. Postal, 

FedEx, and U.P.S. based on reliability and cost. We find each carrier 

quite satisfactory, as they offer (1) ground service, (2) two-day air service, 

and also (3) three-day select service. We will notify you at the time 

of shipment which carrrier your packages with be shipped with. 

Ground Service: All shipments are transported by truck. Ground service 

to the east coast takes an average of 5 to 7 business days. There are eight 

(8) zones between Brinnon and the east coast. Each zone is basically one 

day of transport. East coast residence should add approximately 40% of 

the total plant order for UPS charges, and the west coast should add 

approximately 30%. 

Air Service: Two-day air service to states east of the Rocky Mountains, 

the Southwest and portions of Alaska and Hawaii, add 60% to your total 

plant order. Three-day select service to states east of the Rocky 

Mountains should add 50% to the total plant order. We recommend air 

service to the east coast in particular. The above-mentioned percentages 

(shipping costs) are estimates only, and higher rates may be 

possible. 

Please give us special shipping instruction; as an example, if there is 

no one at home during the day, you may wish to give us an alternate 

address; or, instructions regarding where to place the package (by sliding 

glass doors in the carport, place in the boat in front of the house, etc.) 

Canadian Customers: The Washington State Department of Agriculture 

now requires that the inspector assigned to inspect our nursery will issue 

a Phytosanitary Certificate. You can call us at 1-800-952-2404 to make 

arrangements/reservations for the inspection or at their office in Olympia, 

Washington (360) 586-3116. The cost is $31.95 per hour. Most inspections 

take about an hour.
