HARRISONS' NURSERIES, BERLIN, MARYLAND 



INFORMATION FOR THE CUSTOMER 



WHEN WE SHIP. The planting season is not 

 regulated by any particular month or day, but by 

 the prevaiUng 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 re- 

 commend, where possible, 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 the top for shipping 

 directions. Be sure to sign your name and give 

 post ofhce 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.

 in the catalogue for trees or plants apply as follows:

Our prices are made to fit the quality of stock

TO OUR CANADIAN CUSTO- 

 MERS. 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, con- 

 tinuing until December 1. 

 HOW WE SHIP. Unless we have 

 definite instructions from you, we wiU use 

 our judgment as to whether to ship by freight, 

 express or parcel post, our judgment being based 

 on the size of the shipment, the perishable 

 nature of the stock, and the distance it has to 

 travel. Special low rates are granted on nursery 

 stock by most aU of the railroads 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 fol- 

 lowing price quotations at the head of various 

 departments.) 



TRANSPORTATION CHARGES. At the prices 

 quoted in this catalogue aU goods are f.o.b. Berhn,

 or other transportation charges, except as noted 

 in connection with parcel-post dehvery. 



NO PACKING CHARGES. No charge is made 

 for boxes or packing, nor for dehvery to freight 

 station or express office here. 



OUR GUARANTEE. We are careful to label 

 all stock, check it and pack it correctly, but we 

 cannot assume the responsibility of stock reaching 

 its destination safely. We do assume the responsi- 

 bihty for the true names of all our stock, and are 

 ready, on proper proof, to replace, free of charge,
