Prices of this Catalogue abrogate previous quotations and are for the Spring of 1904 only. The 

 prices quoted are for the quantities specified, but six, fifty and five 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 first class may be ordered at hundred rates; but hundred lots of straw- 

 berries, 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, 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 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. State plainly to what point goods are to be 

 sent. Keep a correct copy of the order and check off the Trees, Plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons 

 sometimes forget what they order and make unjust 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 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 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. 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. 

 Nursery stock shipped west of the Mississippi by freight has to be prepaid, and consequently orders for 

 stock to such points by freight must be accompanied by a remittance to cover freight charges, in addition 

 to the price of stock ordered; the surplus, if any, will of course be promptly returned to the party 

 ordering. 



Mealing. — I send plants by mail postpaid, if requested, wherever so noted in connection with a price. 

 Whenever 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, as in the case of Trees, 

 etc. When plants are to be sent by mail, it must be so stated in the order and the amount for postage 

 called for 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 labelled. 



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. When 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 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 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 con- 

 tinue to deal with me. 



Specidtl Low Express Rates. — Please note that the Express Companies now carry Trees and Plants 

 at a special rate of 20 per cent, less than the regular merchandise rate of 100 pounds, and figure even 

 small lots at this reduced 100-pound rate, the minimum charge, however, being 35 cents on each ship 

 ment. This should be an inducement for patrons to order their plants sent by express.
