OUR SHIPPING SEASON 



We pack and ship all through the winter to South- 

 ern States. Our regular spring shipping and packing 

 season usually opens here about the 15th of Feb- 

 ruary and continues until May 10th. Our fall ship- 

 ping season opens about October 15th and continues 

 to Northern points until December 1st. 



OUR TERMS 



Our terms are cash except in large orders when 

 satisfactory reference is given; then one-third the 

 amount of the order must be sent and balance on 

 arrival of trees at depot. On early orders one-third 

 the amount can be sent in and balance a few days 

 before shipment. Prices in this catalog 1 are for the 

 present season, spring- and fall of 1931 only. 



GRADING 



We guarantee every tree to be as represented in 

 grade and quality, and if upon arrival you do not 

 find our trees to be exactly as we say they are, 

 return them to us securely packed and we will, re- 

 fund to you every dollar you have paid us for them. 

 This is as fair as we can offer. 



Do not confuse this well graded stock with stock 

 offered to you at a lower price with only height 

 mentioned. Our stock is graded both in height and 

 thickness, the only true way to grade nursery stock. 



ORDER EABLY 



We earnestly request our patrons to send their 

 orders in early and specify when you wish them 

 shipped. We pride ourselves on making prompt 

 delivery, but sometimes in our rush seasons we can- 

 not get the orders shipped on the exact time, and 

 we must ask our customers' indulgence for a week 

 or so. We are keeping close check on weather con- 

 ditions in every part of the country, and shipment 

 will be made just as promptly as possible and in 

 proper season. Often we are compelled to delay fall 

 shipments until the stock is sufficiently mature to 

 make it hardy. If time of shipment is left to us we 

 can assure our customers of receiving stock in per- 

 fect condition. 



DISCOUNTS 



10% Discount for Cash with Order before April 1st. 

 No Discount after April 1st. Free delivery on all 

 order $50.00 or more up to 500 miles or more from 

 our nursery. Sprirg 1931 only. 



HOW TO REMIT 



Remittance should be made either by Postoffice 

 money order, registered letter, or by check on your 

 bank. 



SMALL ORDERS 

 Because of the high cost of labor, packing material, 

 implements and land, we cannot accept orders for 

 less than $2.00. 



MISTAKES 



We use every precaution that is humanly possible 

 to avoid mistakes and believe that we are as near 

 free from them as any Nurserymen in the United 

 States; but in the event any of our stock should 

 prove untrue to name under which it is labeled or 

 sold, we will replace the original order or refund the 

 amount paid for such stock. Further than this we 

 are not responsible. 



RATES 



1 to 6 trees at the each rate: 6 to 50 at the ten 

 rate; 50 to 250 at the 100 rate, and 250 to 1,000 and 

 more at the 1,000 rate. 



Write for prices on quantities of 1,000 or more. 



All boxing, baling and packing free. 



RECEIVING STOCK IN COLD WEATHER 



In the event that it should turn cold after your 

 stock has been shipped to you and there is a pos- 

 sibility that there is frost in the box in which the 

 stock is shipped, put the box in a place where the 

 temperature is above freezing — a cellar or a frost- 

 proof building, and do not disturb for 5 to 7 days, 

 at which time stock can be removed from the box 

 in first-class condition. Under no circumstances 

 should you open a box when you think there is 

 frost in it, for if the air strikes nursery stock in 

 frozen condition it will kill it. But if allowed to 

 thaw out in box. the stock will not be injured. 



OUR REFERENCES 



As to our responsibility, we refer you to 

 The Peoples Bank of Somerset County, Prin- 

 cess Anne, Md., and the Salisbury National 

 Bank, Salisbury, Md., and to any of our thou- 

 sands of customers throughout the country 

 that you might know of whose names you find 

 in this catalogue.
