ADVICE AND TERMS 



IMPORTANT 



A discount of 10 per cent, is allov/ed. on all orders from this catalog and price list amounting to $5.00 

 or more AT EACH, DOZEN OR 100 RATES; provide i always that remittance in full is sent with order 

 and the discount is claimed when order is sent. 



Please bear in mind this discount DOES NOT APPLY TO 1000 RATES or to SETS of plants in any 

 instance and cannot he allowed unless claimed when order is sent. 



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

 C. 0. D., tut 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 Ofiice, 

 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 oiF the plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons 

 sometimes forget what they order, and make unjust complaints. Ladies will oblige me by prefixing their 

 names with "Miss" or "Mrs." aa 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 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. Trans- 

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

 special arrangement. 



MAILING — I send plants by mail postpaid, if requested, wherever so noted, in connection with the 

 price. Whenever the price does not include postage, the rate of postage is given on all mailable articles, 

 under their respective headings. Where nothing is said as to postage, the goods are unmailable. 

 When plants are to be sent by mail, it must be so stated in the order. The new regulations of the par- 

 cel post do not effect plants, except the increase in size of package allowed. The rate of postage is the 

 same as it has been for many years, viz., one cent for every two ounces to all parts in the United 

 States and Canada. 



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

 ucing the expense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are packed free. Evv3ry 

 thing is labeled. 



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

 ally 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 afiix 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. 



UNITED STATES 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 American, Wells Fargo, National 

 or Pacific Express via New York City. A discount of 20 per cent, is allowed on merchandise rates upon 

 all shipments of Plants, Trees, Shrubs or Vines, and the charge is based, even for small shipments, upon 

 the 100 pound rate; the minimum charge, however, being 35 cents on each shipment. 



Should you receive two copies of the catalog and price list, please hand one to a neighbor who is 

 interested in Small Fruit Culture or Ornamental Trees and Plants.
