A WORD IN CONCLUSION 



This book can contain but an indication of the quaHty and variet\- of the 

 hundreds of lovely things at Tov^son 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 customers the finest trees, shrubs and flowers, in a wide selection, and 

 helpful, factual information upon which they may depend for the most pleas- 

 ing results. 



Thousands of people from Baltimore and distant points along the middle 

 Atlantic seaboard visit our nurseries annually. During the azalea season this is 

 particularly true.

 until the last of May. 



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

 the last of December. 



Shippins 



Please give explicit directions as to address and mode- of shipment. Shipments will be for- 

 warded exactly as directed, but when we have no instructions they will be forwarded by the

Inspection 



Our stock is regluarly 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 goods. 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

 architect you may choose.
