A Few Reasons for Fall Planting 



Nature works six to eight months ahead — by planting the majority of her seeds in the Fall. Grass and 

 tree seeds, seeds of annuals, and a host of other seeds are dropped and covered in the Fall, so they will be 

 germinating or growing throughout the Winter and have a good start when things warm up in the Spring. 



Man has done most of his planting in Spring. Here are some good reasons for changing: 



1 — Fall is the ideal time to grade your grounds, reseed or make new lawns, set evergreens, plant perennials, 

 Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Boxwood, Laurel, Roses, shrubs, trees, bulbs. Peonies (Fall is only time), etc. 

 Try it this year and watch next Spring. You'll be so delighted that you will write and thank us for urging 

 you. 



2 — Plants moved in the Fall get well settled and quietly send out new roots and make steady growth during 

 the Winter months. Thus they have stored up extra vitality and are ready to bloom earlier — they are 

 thoroughly acclimated. This is especially true of Roses, Peonies, Irises and Evergreens. 



3— — We can now supply a complete assortment of varieties — whereas in the Spring many varieties are apt to 



be sold out. 



4 — You have more time in the Fall. Spring often comes with a rush and the work is not done so well because 

 of the multitude of duties to perform about the place. 



5 — The ground is warm and easy to work. In the Spring it is often water-soaked which may delay you. 



6 — Fall rains supply plenty of moisture without making the ground soggy. 



7 — And on top of these reasons, you save at least half a year by planting your home now. Hardy Flowering 



Plants set in the ground at this time will bloom next Spring and Summer; you will not have to wait a 

 year for results. , r^^ 



Please Read This Page Carefully 



Special Notice — The best assurance for you of the purity of our stock, and evidence of the extreme care we 

 exercise in keeping it clean and true to name is that we number among our best customers thousands who, year after 

 year, continue to select our stock exclusively for their needs. Should any stock prove to be not up to our usual grade, 

 we shall be happy to replace it, or to return the money paid, but it is understood that we are not liable for any amount 

 beyond our replacement or refund offer. Certificate of inspection is attached to each shipment. 



HOW TO ORDER — To insure receipt of stock when wanted, order as early as possible. Be sure that your 

 name and address are clearly written. In your address give post office, county and state, and state clearly 

 to what points goods are to be sent. If shipping address is different than residence post office, be sure that 

 you give us the correct shipping point. Small favors thankfully received always, but we cannot 

 undertake to fill an order of less amount than one dollar. 



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, properly labeled, of course. 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. 



SHIPPING — ^We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases, conse- 

 quently our responsibility also. We particularly caution patrons against ordering Perennial Plants and Straw- 

 berry 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 arranged otherwise. 



SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST— Many plants offered can be shipped to advantage by parcel post, espe- 

 cially to nearby points. If such method of shipment is desired, kindly consult the subheading of the desired 

 article for cost of transportation. Any overpayment will be refunded by us immediately after shipment 

 goes forward. 



TERMS — Payment should be made at time of ordering or before shipment. We prefer to make no shipment 

 C.O.D., but will, when requested, ship in this way, provided 25 per cent of the amount of an order is sent with 

 the order, with return charges added. Please do not ask us to open accounts for less than $10.00 orders. 



Prices in this catalog cancel previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities specified, 

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

 Hundred lots may not be made up at hundred rates of less than fifty of a variety. 



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

 and, if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after 15 days from receipt of goods, will not be entertained. 

 We endeavor to 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 we do not, because 

 we cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live.
