ADVICE AND TERMS 



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

 C.O.D., but will ship in this way when twenty-five per cent, of the amount of order is sent with the order, 

 witli return charges added. Remit by Postal Money Order, Registered Letter, Draft, or Express Money 

 Order. 



Prices of this catalog abrogate 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 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; except in Fruit Trees. 



HOW TO ORDER. — Order early. Small favors thankfully received always, but we 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 OflSce, 

 County and State — and do this every time you write us. 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 complaint. Ladies will oblige us by prefixing their names with "Miss" 

 or "Mrs." as the case may be. We will do our 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 we 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 ])e considered final without our written consent. 



SHIPPING. — W'e deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases, 

 consequently our responsibihty also. We 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. 



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 our 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 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. 



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. We 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. 



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

 prove untrue, we will return the money paid or replace it with other stock; but we are not liable for damage 

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

 to deal with us. 



AMERICAN EXPRESS, ADAMS AND SOUTHERN EXPRESS SHIPMENTS.— We are able to 

 ship direct to any point reached by these companies, and to all points of the Wells Fargo, National, or Pacific 

 Express via New York City. Very great reductions have been made in express rates of past years — a 

 great boon to fruit growers and flower lovers. 



Certificate of inspection is attached to each shipment. 



SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST 



Many plants offered can be shipped to advantage by parcel post; especially to nearby points. On 

 page 2 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 to send the proper amount to cover cost of stamps. 



Should you receive two copies of this catalog, please hand one to a neighbor who is interested in Small 

 Fruit, Roses, or Ornamental Trees and Plants, or Fruit Trees.
