PLEASE NOTE—Any Sales Tax which may be imposed on nursery stock by State or Federal

ditions which may be made when orders are acknowledged.

HOW TO REMIT 
Remittances should be made either by Post Office 
Money Order, Registered Letter, or by Check on your 
ank. 
ORDER EARLY 
We earnestly request our patrons to send their orders 
in early and specify when they wished them shipped. 
We pride ourselves on making prompt delivery but 
_sometimes in our rush seasons we cannot get the orders 
shipped on the exact time, and we must ask our cus- 
tomers’ indulgence for a week or so and shipment will 
be made just as promptly as possible. If time of ship- 
ment is left to us we can assure our customers of re- 
ceiving stock in perfect condition and in proper plant- 
ing season. 
MISTAKES 
We use every precaution that is humanly possible to 
avoid mistakes and believe that we are as near free 
from them as any Nurseryman 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 re- 
place the original order or refund the amount paid for 
such stock. Further than this we are not responsible. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
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 in good 
condition within five days after arrival and we 
will refund to you every dollar you have paid us 
for them. This is as fair as we can offer. 
Do not confuse our 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 nur- 
sery stock. 
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 possibility 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 re- 
moved 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 the box, the stock will not be injured. 
OUR REFERENCES 
As to our responsibility, we refer you to the 
Salisbury National Bank, Salisbury, Md., Farm- 
ers & Merchants Bank, Salisbury, Md., Dun & 
Bradstreet and to any of our thousands of cus- 
tomers throughout the country that you might 
know or whose name you find in this catalog, 
and the various State Departments in the East-
