LATH HOUSE SHOWING 4,000 LEMON TKEES (BALLED) READY FOE SHIPMENT. 



Timely Suggestions to Intending Purchasers. 



HOW TO ORDER. State specifically the size and variety 

 of trees you want, and also give a few general hints as 

 to your soil and climatic conditions. From unknown 

 parties we demand a remittance or deposit of 50 per cent of 

 order, or good references. Send money by bank draft, post- 

 office or express order, or registered letter. 



LOCATION. The land upon which our nurseries are situated is 

 conceded to be the best for growing citrus nursery stock, pro- 

 ducing a fine grade of tree, with a root system of great vigor, 

 making transplanting safe and easy. 



QUALITY OF STOCK. All of our trees are grown to stakes, 

 and are straight and thrifty, budded at the ground and well rooted. 

 Good stock is the foundation of success. He who plants an orange 

 or a lemon grove plants for generations; hence, in choosing stock 

 be careful to get only the best obtainable. 



GUARANTEEING TREES. We guarantee all trees shipped 

 from our nurseries to be as represented. We personally attend 

 to the budding of all our trees, and use the utmost care to insure 

 them true to name. 



PACKING. We pack all trees in the best possible manner, in 

 bales and boxes, according to size of order and distance of ship- 

 ment. Trees can be sent with safety to any part of the United 

 States or foreign countries. We make a small charge for packing, 

 just sufficient to defray cost. Sample trees furnished intending 

 buyers. 



TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES. Our transportation fa- 

 cilities are excellent, being midway betweeen the Southern Pacific 

 and Santa Fe railways; hence jwe ship via either road. 



SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS. Please furnish explicit direc- 

 tions for shipping and by what route. In the absence of any 

 instructions we ship according to our best judgment, but in no 

 case do we assume any responsibility for condition or safe delivery 

 of trees after same have been properly packed and delivered to 

 transportation companies. 



PRICE. The matter of price depends somewhat on size of 

 trees, quality of stock, variety of fruit, etc. We sell according to 

 condition of stock and customer's wants. We grade our citrus 

 stock by caliper, measurement being made one inch above the 

 bud, and thus are able to offer any size that is required. We 

 have buds one, two, and three years old. We have citrus trees of 

 all grades and at all prices and are able to meet competition from 

 whatever source. Prices on application. 



BOOKING 'ORDERS AHEAD. The demand for trees prom- 

 ises to be unusually active, hence it is advisable for intending 

 purchasers to place their orders early, and thus insure the pick of 

 the stock and be assured of having their wants satisfied. We 

 book orders ahead, and take every precaution to protect our cus- 

 tomers, both in the way of reserving the trees as well as in the 

 matter of quality. Write us for prices and particulars. 



TRUE TO NAME. Our trees are all budded from bearing 

 trees and every precaution exercised to have them true to name, 

 still with all our caution, mistakes are liable to be made, but we 

 hold ourselves in readiness, on proper proof, to replace all stock 

 which may prove untrue to label, free of charge; or to refund the 

 amount paid. It is mutually understood and agreed between 

 purchasers and ourselves, however, that our guarantee of genuine- 

 ness shall, in no case, make us liable for any sum greater than 

 that originally paid us for said trees, that prove untrue to name.
