ADVICE AND TERMS 



IMPORTANT 



A discount of 10 per cent, is allowed on all orders from this catalog amounting to $5.00 or more at 

 each, dozen or 100 rates; provided always that remittance in full (less discount) is sent with order and 

 the discount is claimed when order is sent. 



Please bear in mind this discount does not apply to 1,000 rates or to sets of plants in any instance 

 and cannot be allowed unless claimed when order is sent. 



TERMS — Payment invariably at time of ordering or before shipment. I prefer to make no ship- 

 ments C. O. D., but will ship in this way when twenty-five per cent, of the amount of order is sent with 

 the order, with return charges added. Remit by Postal Money Order, Registered Letter, Draft, or 

 Express Money Order. Please do not send postage stamps. 



Prices of this catalog abrogate previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities speci- 

 fied, but six, fifty or five hundred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred, and thousand rates 

 respectively. Hundred and thousand lots cannot be made up at hundred rates of less than fifty of a 

 variety; and thousand lots cannot be made up at thousand rates of less than five hundred of a variety. 



HOW TO ORDER — Order early. Small favors thankfully received always, but I cannot under- 

 take to fill an order of less than one dollar, as the cost of recording and filling it would exceed the small 

 profit of same. Kindly use Order Sheet, and be sure to write your name and address plainly. Give 

 Post Office, County and State — and do this every time you write me. Be particular to state how the 

 goods are to be shipped; whether by mail, express, or freight, and state plainly to what point goods are 

 to be sent. Keep a correct copy of the order and check off the plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons 

 sometimes forget what they have ordered and make unjust complaints. Ladies will oblige me by pre- 

 fixing their names with "Miss" or "Mrs." as the case may be. I will do my utmost to comply with the 

 wishes of patrons to pack additions to an order, or subsequent orders, in one package, or to make reason- 

 able changes in any order, but I cannot promise to do so. During the rush of the shipping season, when 

 many orders are received and dispatched in a day, it would, in some cases, be almost impossible to comply. 

 No change or countermand of an order can be considered final without my written consent. 



SHIPPING — I deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which my control ceases, 

 consequently my responsibility also. I particularly caution patrons against ordering Perennial Plants 

 and Strawberry Plants shipped by freight; they should always go by express, or in small lots by mail. 

 Transportation charges on all goods shipped by freight or express are to be paid by the purchaser, unless 

 by special arrangement. 



PACKING is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack lightly, thereby reduc- 

 ing the expense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are packed free. Every- 

 thing is labeled. 



SUBSTITUTION — It is my custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted (which occa- 

 sionally occurs in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a similar sort. When it is desired that I shall 

 not do this, it must be so stated in the order. To simply affix the words "No Substitution" is all that 

 is necessary. 



CLAIMS — If any, must be made upon receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and cheerfully 

 examined and, if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after fifteen days from receipt of goods will 

 not be entertained. 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, undertake to guarantee stock to live. 



GUARANTEE — I warrant my stock true to name, with the explicit understanding that should any 

 prove untrue, I will return the money paid or replace it with other stock; but I am not liable for damage 

 beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of my stock is the fact that customers of former years con- 

 tinue to deal with me. 



AMERICAN EXPRESS, ADAMS AND SOUTHERN EXPRESS SHIPMENTS— I am able to 

 ship direct to any point reached by these companies, and to all points of the Wells Fargo, National, or 

 Pacific Express via New York City. Very great reductions have been made in express rates of past 

 years — a great boon to fruit growers and flower lovers. 



SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST 



Many plants offered can be shipped to advantage by parcel post; especially to nearby points. On 

 page 20 will be found a table of rates and of weights of such things as may be forwarded by mail, by 

 which patrons are enabled to determine the cost for postage . In ordering shipment by parcel post, 

 please do not omit to send the proper amount to cover cost of stamps. 



Should you receive two copies of this catalogue, please hand one to a neighbor who is interested in 

 Small Fruit, Roses, or Ornamental Trees and Plants.
