BUSINESS INFORMATION 



When We Ship. The planting season is not 

 regulated by any particular month or day, but by 

 the prevailing weather conditions and the ripeness 

 of the stock. We ship when the weather conditions 

 are favorable, the usual shipping season extending 

 from October 1 to May 1, with a few weeks' inter- 

 mission in midwinter. 



Order Early. By all means do not delay placing 

 your order until you are ready to plant. The earlier 

 orders are placed, the better it is for both you and 

 ourselves. Early in the season you are sure to get 

 the varieties you select, but later on, when our stock, 

 as well as that of all nurserymen, becomes somewhat 

 depleted, you may not be able to get the varieties 

 you especially desire. We recommend, where pos- 

 sible, that orders be placed in the fall, whether the 

 stock is to be planted in the fall or the following 

 spring. Special arrangements have been made 

 with our Order Department to reserve stock covered 

 by orders until such time as shipment is desired. 



How to Order. Please use the order sheet found 

 in the back part of this catalogue, carefully filling 

 out the blank spaces at top for shipping directions. 

 Be sure to sign your name and give post-office and 

 state. If your post-office address is different from 

 the railroad station be sure to give both. To avoid 

 mistakes, do not write letters on the same sheet as 

 orders. 



Application of Prices. The prices given in the 

 catalogue for trees or plants apply as follows: 



1 to 4 trees are sold at the each rate; 5 to 49 are 

 sold at the 10 rate; 50 to 299 are sold at the 100 

 rate; 300 or more are sold at the 1,000 rate. 



Our prices are made to fit the quality of stock 

 that we grow; therefore do not confuse them with 

 prices on cheap stock. Our stock has the roots, the 

 vigor and the vitality which insures its living. It is 

 the kind that succeeds. 



Special Prices on Large Orders. Special 

 quotations on large orders will be given on appli- 

 cation. When writing, tell us what varieties are 

 wanted, the approximate number of trees of each 

 varietv and the size. 



Remittances. You may send your remittance 

 to us by Post-Office Money Order, by Express 

 Money Order, by New York Draft, by Check, or 

 in Cash by Registered Letter. Post-Office Money 

 Order is preferable to us. Postage stamps will be 

 found a convenient method of remitting for small 

 amounts, and can be used by us to advantage. 

 Make all checks, drafts or money orders payable to 

 J. G. Harrison & Sons. Currency or coin must be 

 sent by express or registered mail, otherwise this 

 company will not be responsible for its safe delivery. 



Terms. Cash with order, or a satisfactory 

 reference from strangers. Those having an estab- 

 lished rating need not send reference. 



Cash Discount. A discount of 5 per cent is 

 allowed on orders accompanied by cash. 



To Our Canadian Customers. Please bear in 

 mind that nursery stock is not admitted from the 

 United States at all seasons. It is admitted in 

 spring, commencing March 15, and continuing until 

 May 15; and in the fall, commencing September 26, 

 continuing until December 1 . 



How We Ship. Unless we have definite instruc- 

 tions from you, we will use our judgment as to 

 whether to ship by freight, express or parcel post, 

 our judgment being based on the size of the ship- 

 ment, the perishable nature of the stock, and the 

 distance it has to travel. Special low rates are 

 granted on nursery stock by most all of the rail- 

 roads and express companies. Parcel-post rates, 

 except in a few cases, are too high to be of much 

 benefit for shipping nursery stock. (See parcel- 

 post rates following price quotations at the head 

 of various departments.) 



Transportation Charges. At the prices quoted 

 in this catalogue all goods are f.o.b. Berlin, Mary- 

 land. We do not prepay express, freight or other 

 transportation charges, except as noted in con- 

 nection with parcel-post delivery. 



No Packing Charges. ^ No charge is made 

 for boxes or packing, nor for delivery to freight 

 station or express office here.
