Payments invariably in advance— Goods sent C. 0. D. only when one-fourth the amount is sent 

 with order, wl'h charges for returning money added to bill. 



Orders.— Small favors thankfully received always, but we cannot undertake to fill an or- 

 der of less amount than one dollar as the cost of recording and filling the same would exceed 

 the amount received. 



If ow to Order.— Be sure to write your name and address plainly— give Post Office, County and 

 State— and do this every time you write us; always state distinctly the size and grade of articles ordered, 

 as quoted in the Guide; also be particular to say always how the goods are to be sent; whether by mail, 

 express or freight. When these conditions are not complied with, we use our judgment us to size, and ship 

 by the way we deem best. Keep a correct copy of the order and check off the stock when it ar- 

 rives: people often forget what they order and make unjust complaint. 



Prices of this Guide abrogate previous quotations and are for the Spring of 1894 only. The prices 

 affixed are for the quantities specified, but half-dozen, fifty and Ave hundred of a variety will be supplied 

 at dozen, hundred and thousand rates respectively. With apples, pears, peaches and other Fruit Trees, 

 fifty in assorted varieties of a class may be ordered at hundred rates and rive hundred at thousaiid rates; 

 out hundred lots of strawberries, raspberries and other Small Fruits cannot be made up at hundred 

 rates, of less than fifty of a variety, and thousand lots cannot be made up at thousand rates, ofle.^s than 

 five hundred of a variety. Single plants cannot be supplied at dozen rates; when not quoted singly they will be 

 furnished at the rate of one-tenth the cost of a dozen each. 



Guarantee.— We warrant our stock true to name, with the express understanding that should any 

 not prove so, we will refund the money paid or replace it with other stock, but are not liable for damages 

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

 tinue to favor us with their orders. 



Packing: is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack Uahtly, thereby reduc- 

 ing the expense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted in this Guide are packed 

 free. Everything is labelled. 



Skipping.— We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases, 

 and consequently our responsibility also. Stock shipped west of the Mississippi River by freight has to be 

 prepaid and orders for stock to such points to be thus shipped must be accompanied with a remittance to 

 cover freight charges in addition to amount for same as per prices and terms of Guide; the surplus, if 

 any, will in all cases, of course, be promptly returned to the party ordering. State plainly to what point 

 gooes are to be sent. We particularly caution patrons against orderirg strawberry and herbaceous plants 

 shipped by freight. They should always go by express, or small lots by mail. 



Goods by .Hail at rates quoted, but we wish to emphasize that no varieties and sizes of Trees o 

 Plants can be shippei by mail, except those so quoted Nothing by mail at thousand rates. 



Claims if any, must be made on receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and cheerfully 

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

 entertained. We send out only good stock in good condition, freshly dug and carefully packed.in all c 

 but success or failure depends in so large a degree upon the weather and the care and management a^ 1 

 received, that we do not, because we cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live. 



Substitution.— It is our custom, should the supply of a variety be exhausted (which will oecasic 

 ally occur in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a sort of the same season of ripening, and similar 

 other respects, or to give the value of another grade of the variety named. When it is desired that w 

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

 is necessary. 



Canadian customers may deduct ten per cent, from these Guide prices on account of Customs 

 Duty which we thus share with them. We have arranged with the express companies running into Canada so 

 that ail goods will be passed through the Custom House without delay, and the goods forwarded at the 

 lowest obtainable rates. The postage on Plants and Seeds to Canada being double the rate of postage in 

 the United States. Canadian customers desiring stock sent by mail will please remit additional, just dou- 

 ble the amount for postage asked in the Guide. Customers in the Dominion will please not send us 

 Canadian bills or coin as such must be used here at a discount; and Canadian postage stamps cannot be 

 used at all. 



Prices quoted in this Guide are strictly net and have been made as low as possible upon the basis of 

 our usual terms -rash with order. We now offer no discounts, but the larger the order the better rate may 

 be obtained, as for example, fifty standard apple trees would secure the rate per hundred, whilst twenty 

 trees only must be taken at the rate per dozen. It is wise therefore for neighbors to club together and send 

 In their orders as one. 



; should you receive two copies of tbe Guide please band one to a 

 neighbor interested in Horticulture.
