  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 
  pc4d 
  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 
  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 
  grraded 
  stock 
  with 
  stock 
  

   offered 
  to 
  you 
  at 
  a 
  lower 
  price 
  with 
  only 
  height 
  men- 
  

   tioned. 
  Our 
  stock 
  is 
  graded 
  both 
  in 
  height 
  and 
  thick- 
  

   ness, 
  the 
  only 
  true 
  way 
  to 
  grade 
  nursery 
  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.
