TOWSON NURSERIES, INC. 



A WORD IN CONCLUSION 



book can contain but an indication of the quality and variety of the hundreds of 

 lovely things at Towson Nurseries. 



Because of the great number of species listed, some special phase of planting which 

 interests you particularly may not be fully described, in that event we suggest that you 

 write, phone, or visit us with your question. 



From the very inception of the business it has been our unvarying policy to give our cus- 

 tomers the finest trees, shrubs and flowers, in a wide selection, and helpful, factual infor- 

 mation upon which they may depend for the most pleasing results. 



Thousands of people from Baltimore and distant points along the middle Atlantic sea- 

 board visit our nurseries annually. During the azalea season this is particularly true. 



To Our Customers 



Our greatest desire in transaction of business with our customers is for mutual satisfaction. We have, 

 in the following paragraphs, endeavored to inform you of our policies and terms, so there may be no 

 possibility of a misunderstanding. 



Planting Season 



The Spring planting season usually begins between March 1 and March 15 th, and continues until the last 

 of May. 



The Fall planting season begins about August 15 th and continues until the ground freezes, the last of 

 December. 



Shipping 



Please give explicit directions as to address and mode of shipment. Shipments will be forwarded exactly as 

 directed, but when we have no instructions they will be forwarded by the shortest and safest route. We 

 recommend that all herbaceous plants be shipped by express. Arrangements can be made for distance 

 deliveries by motor trucks of full truck loads if desired. 



Prices 



Prices in accompanying list supersede all previous lists and are subject to change without notice. The prices 

 listed are for local delivery. STOCK SPECIALLY SELECTED by customers at the Nurseries will be charged 

 for according to the value of the trees chosen irrespective of list price. The prices in this book are for 

 stock of our selection. 



Terms: Cash with order, except to persons who render regular credit references. These accounts will be 

 due in 3 days. 



Inspection 



Our stock is regularly inspected and a certificate sent with each shipment. 



Guarantee and Claim 



All goods are guaranteed true to name, dug properly, and in good condition when shipped. Any plant which 

 is untrue to name will be promptly replaced. As we have no control over its usage after it leaves our 

 hands, properly packed and in good condition, we cannot guarantee the life of stock. Claims must be 

 made within five days after receipt of stock. Stock delivered as per order and in good condition is not 

 returnable. 



Next in importance to the production of good trees and plants is proper planting. To this end we have 

 developed an organization that is competent to furnish planting suggestions for any type of home and to 

 handle any planting, large or small — or will cooperate with any landscape architect you may choose.
