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 shipments 

 0. 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 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 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 prefixing 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 reasonable 

 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 pacticularly 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 1 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 

 continue 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 ai; points of the Wells Fargo, National or Pacific 

 Express via New York City. Very great reductions have been made in express rates within the year — 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 19 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 sending 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.
