ADVICE AND TERMS 



TERMS. — Payment invariably at time of ordering or before shipment. We prefer to 

 make no shipment 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. 



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

 tities specified, but six, fifty or five hundred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred, 

 and thousand rates respectively. Hundred 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; except in Fruit Trees. 



HOW TO ORDER. — Order early. Small favors thankfully received always, but we 

 cannot undertake 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 us. 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 complaint. Ladies will oblige us by prefixing their names with 

 "Miss" or "Mrs." as the case may be. We will do our utmost to comply with the wishes of 

 patrons to pack additions to an order, or subsequent orders, in one package, or to make rea- 

 sonable changes in any order, but we cannot promise to do so. During the rush of the ship- 

 ping season, when many orders are received and dispatched in a day, it would, in some cases, 

 be almost impossible to comply. Xo change or countermand of an order can be considered 

 final without our written consent. 



SHIPPING. — We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our 

 control ceases, consequently our responsibility also. We 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 reducing the expense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are 

 packed free. Everything is labeled. 



SUBSTITUTION. — It is our custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted 

 (which occasionally occurs in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a similar sort. When 

 it is desired that we 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. We send out only good stock in good condition, care- 

 fully packed, in all cases; but success or failure depends in so large a degree upon the care and 

 management after received, that we do not, because we cannot, undertake to guarantee stock 

 to live. 



GUARANTEE. — We warrant our stock true to name, with the explicit understanding that 

 should any prove untrue, we will return the money paid or replace it with other stock; but 

 we are not liable for damage beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of our stock is the 

 fact that customers of former years continue to deal with us. 



AMERICAN EXPRESS, ADAMS AND SOUTHERN EXPRESS SHIPMENTS.— We 

 are able to ship direct to any point reached by these companies, and to all points of the AVells 

 Fargo, National, or Pacific Express via New York City. Very great reductions have been 

 made in express rates of past years — a greatboon to fruit growers and flower lovers. 



Certificate of inspection is attached to each shipment. 



SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST 



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

 points. On page 2 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 order- 

 ing 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 catalog, please hand one to a neighbor who is inter- 

 ested in Small Fruit, Roses, or Ornamental Trees and Plants, or Fruit Trees.
