The Advantages of Fall Planting 



While it is undoubtedly true that certain plants (not listed in this 

 catalog) do not transplant well in the Fall, it is equally well known to 

 nurserymen that the majority of Hardy Plants may be transplanted with 

 greater assurance of satisfactory results in that season than in the Spring. 

 A great many Shrubs and Perennials start to make their annual Spring 

 root growth before the frost will allow us to move them. Then after this 

 new growth has started, the shock of transplanting, before the tender new 

 rootlets have had a chance to become established, may result in a mediocre 

 bloom the first season. This is especially true of such early flowering per- 

 ennials as Iris and Peonies, or such shrubs as Forsythia and Spiraea 

 prunifolia, and so for all practical purposes Fall is the safest and surest 

 season for the transplanting of such hardy stock as we list herein. 



Special Notice — The greatest care is exercised to keep our stocks clean and true to name. Should any prove 

 otherwise, we will return the money paid or replace it with other stock, but we are not liable for damage beyond that. 

 A sure indication of the purity of our stock is the fact that customers of former years continue to deal with us. 

 Certificate of inspection is attached to each shipment. 



HOW TO ORDER — To insure receipt of stock when wanted, order as early as possible. Be sure that your 

 name and address are clearly written. In your address give post office, county and state, and state clearly 

 to what points goods are to be sent. If shipping address is different than residence post office, be sure that 

 you give us the correct shipping point. Small favors thankfully received always, but we cannot undertake 

 to fill an order of less amount than one dollar. 



SUBSTITUTION — It is our custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted (which occasionally 

 occurs in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a similar sort, properly labeled, of course. When it is 

 desired that we shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order. To simply affix the words "No Sub- 

 stitution" is all that is necessary. 



SHIPPING — We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases, conse- 

 quently our responsibility also. We particularly caution patrons against ordering Perennial Plants and Straw- 

 berry 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, unless arranged otherwise. 



SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST— Many plants offered can be shipped to advantage by parcel post, espe- 

 cially to nearby points. If such method of shipment is desired, kindly consult the subheading of the desired 

 article for cost of transportation. Any overpayment will be refunded by us immediately after shipment 

 goes forward. 



TERMS — Payment should be made at time of ordering or before shipment. We prefer to make no shipment 

 C.O.D. but will when requested, ship in this way, provided 25 per cent of the amount of an order is sent with 

 the order, with return charges added. Please do not ask us to open accounts for less than $10.00 orders. 



Prices in this catalog cancel previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities specified, 

 but six, fifty or five hundred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thousand rates respectively. 

 Hundred lots may not be made up at hundred rates of less than fifty of a variety. 



CLAIMS, if any, should be made upon receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and cheerfully examined 

 and, if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after 15 days from receipt of goods, will not be entertained. 

 We endeavor to 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 we do not, because 

 we cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live.
