ADVICE AND TERMS,

Prices of this Catalogue abrogate previous quotations and are for the Spring of 1903 only. The 

 prices quoted are for the quantities specified, but six, fifty and five hundred of a variety (and no less) 

 will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thousand rates respectively. 



How to Order. Order early. Small favors thankfully received always, but / cannot undertake to 

 fill an order of less amount than one dollar as the cost of recording and filling it would exceed the amount 

 received. Please 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 to me; and be particular to say always how the 

 goods are to be sent — whether by Mail, express or freight. Keep a correct copy of the order and 

 check off the Plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons sometimes forget what they order and make un- 

 just complaint. 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 orders, but / 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 as final without my written consent. 



Shipping. I deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which my control ceases, 

 consequently my responsibility also. State plainly to what point goods are to be sent. 

 I particularly caution patrons against ordering Strawberry and Herbaceous 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. The express companies now allow a reduction 

 of 20 per cent, from merchandise rates on plants. 



Mailing. I send Plants by mail postpaid, if requested, wherever so noted in connection with a 

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

 under each heading. 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 and the necessary amount for postage included in 

 the remittance. Please remember that the rate of postage to Canada on Plants is double that of the 

 United States ; hence in ordering goods by mail, Canadian customers will please remit double the 

 amount of postage asked for. Nothing by mail at thousand rates. 



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 be exhausted (which will 

 occasionally occur in all establishments) , to substitute in its stead a similar sort or give the value of 

 another grade of the variety named. W^hen it is desired that I shall not do this, it miist 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 not prove so I will refund the money paid or replace it with other stock, but I am not liable for 

 damages beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of my stock is the fact that customers of former 

 years continue to deal with me. 



S^Should you receive two copies of this Catalogue please hand one to a neighbor zvho is interested 



in fruit culture.
