BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES 
RECEIVING STOCK IN COLD WEATHER 
_ Remittance should -be made either by Post Office Money 
Order, Registered Letter, or by Check on your Bank. 
ORDER EARLY 
We earnestly request our patrons to send their orders in 
early and specify when they wish 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 must ask our customer’s indulgence for a week or 
so and shipment will be made as promptly as_ possible. 
In the event 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 removed from the box in first-class 
condition. Under no circumstances should you open a box 
when you think there is frost in it, it will kill it. But if 
allowed to thaw out in the box, the stock will not be in- 
jured. Be sure and follow this practice. 
If time of shipment is left to us we can assure our cutom- 
er of receiving stock in perfect condition and in proper 
planting 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, it will be our option to replace original 
order as ordered or refund the amount paid for stock or- 
dered upon proper proof that such stock shipped was not 
true to name. Further than this we are not responsible.

National Bank, Salisbury, Md., Farmers & Merchants 
Bank, Salisbury, Md., Bank of Somerset, Princess Anne,
