OUR SHIPPING SEASON 



We pack and ship all through the winter to Southern 

 States. Our regular spring shipping and packing sea- 

 son usually opens here about the 15th of February and 

 continues until May 10th. Our fall shipping season 

 opens about October 15th and continues to Northern 

 points until December 1st. 



OUR TERMS 



Our terms are cash except in large orders when sat- 

 isfactory 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 are for the present season, spring 

 of 1938 only. 



GRADING AND OUR GUARANTEE 



Wo 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 Ave will refund 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 men- 

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

 ness, the only true way to grade nursery stock. 



ORDER EARLY 



Wo 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 we must ask our cus- 

 tomers' indulgence for a week or so. We are keeping 

 close checlv on weather conditions in every part of tlie 

 country, and shipment will be made just as promptly 

 as possible and in proper season. Often we are com- 

 pelled to delay fall shipments until the stock is suffi- 

 ciently mature to make it hardy. If time of shipment is 

 left to us we can assure our customers of receiving 

 stock in perfect condition. 



DISCOUNTS 



5% Discount for Cash with Order before April 1st ex- 

 cept on strawberry plants which are net at prices listed. 

 No discount after April 1st. Free delivery on all or- 

 ders of $50.00 or more up to 500 miles from our nursery, 

 except on strawberry plants. Spring of 1938 only. 



HOW TO REMIT 



Remittance should be made either by Post Office 

 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, except on seeds. 



MISTAKES 



We use every precaution that it 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. 



RATES 



1 to 10 trees at the each rate; 10 to 50 at the ten rate; 

 50 to 300 at the 100 rate; and 300 to 600 at the 300 rate; 

 COO or more at the 1000 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 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 Sal- 

 isbury National Bank, Salisbury, Md., Farmers & 

 3Ierchants Bank, Salisbury, Md., and to any of our 

 thousands of customers throughout the country that 

 you might know or whose name you find in this 

 catalog, and the various State Departments in the 

 Eastern U. S. 



PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFUEEY BEFORE ORDERING 



AVrite to us if in doubt.
