A Word of Thanks. 



nN MY last spring catalog I told yoii that my 1916 sales were the 

 largest that 1 had ever had. My 1917 sales were more than 

 m^ twice what they were in 1 9 1 6. 1 did not expect it and it is im- 

 ' possible for me to express my thanks to you who helped make 

 last season the success it w^as, but I do thank you many many times, and 

 my wish for you is that you may have health, happiness and prosperity 

 this coming year. 1 have not room in this small space to tell you all that 

 I want to tell you and I am going to use the next page to tell you of some 

 of my disappointments and hopes. 



Again thanking you for your orders and for recommending me to 

 your friends, and promising to furnish you the kind of stock and service 

 that will make you a satisfied customer if you will favor me with your 

 order this spring, I remain Respec5tfully yours, 



LEAMON G. TINGLE. 



Advice to Customers. 



TERMS. Payment invariably, cash in advance. Remit by Money Order, 

 Registered Letter or Draft. 



HOW TO ORDER. Send me your order as soon as convenient, then I will 

 reserve the plants for you and ship when wanted. Be sure to write your name 

 and address plainly, and state how goods are to be shipped; whether by Parcel 

 Post, Express or Freight, and state plainly to what point you want them sent. 



AT PURCHASER'S RISK. All stock shipped by freight will be at pur- 

 chaser's risk. All plants shipped after May 1 will be packed and shipped in 

 the best manner possible, but at purchaser's risk. 



PACKING. I make no charge for packing and delivering to station at 

 prices in this catalog. 



SHIPPING SEASON. I begin filling orders about October 1st, sometimes 

 a little earlier, and continue digging and shipping during the entire fall, winter 

 and spring until May 1st. We are sometimes delayed in January and February 

 and early part of March by freezing weather, but usually able to ship at times 

 during these months. 



TRUE TO NAME. We use every care to have plants true to name and we 

 will not be responsible for any sum greater than the original cost of stock 

 should any prove not true to name. 



CLAIMS, if any, must be made on receipt of goods, and if just, will be 

 made satisfactory. I send out only good stock in good condition, carefully 

 packed in all cases, but success or failure depends in so large a degree upon 

 the care and management after received, that I do not, because I cannot, under- 

 take to guarantee stock to live. 



SUBSTITUTION. Late in the season we usually run short of some varie- 

 ties listed herein; therefore, when you order late, please state on order sheet 

 if you do not want me to substitute should I be sold out of the variety you 

 order. If we substitute will give you a variety as near like the variety you 

 ordered as possible. 



INSPECTION, A Certificate of Inspection from our State Entomologist 

 and State Pathologist will be attached to each and every shipment of stock. 



Telegraph or Telephone me at Pittsville, Md. 



Special Prices. We quote very attractive prices on large orders. Send us 

 your want list for quotations. 



When you receive two catalogs, please hand one to your neighbor.
