cylDVICE 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 

 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 3Ioney 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 specified, but 

 six, fifty or five himdred OY 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 variet.v. 



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, con- 

 sequently 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. Transportation 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. "^^Tiere nothing is said as to postage, ihe goods are unmailable. When plants are 

 to be sent by mail, it must be so stated in the order. The new regulations of the parcel post do not affect 

 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 L'nited States and Canada. 



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 my custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted (which occasionally 

 occurs in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a similar sort. T^Tien it is desired that I 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 enter- 

 tained. 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 CAN- 

 NOT, 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 this catalogue, please hand one to a neighbor who is interested in Small 

 Fruit, Roses or Ornamental Trees and Plants.
