Filling Fall Orders. 



It is not safe to transplant 

 Fruit or Hardy Ornamental 

 Trees, Shrubs, Vines, etc., before the first of October; and 

 even later delivery, after stock is fully matured and the 

 wood ripened, is much better. Trees shipped before then 

 are still full of sap, the leaves must be stripped off by hand 

 and the percentage of possible loss is much greater. You 

 may depend upon our judgment in getting stock away at the 

 earliest time consistent with safety, and with all speed possible. 

 SUBSTITUTION. We reserve the right, in case we are out 

 of a variety, to substitute another of equal merit when it can 

 be done (always labeling with correct name) — unless the party 

 ordering says "No Substituting " in which case we will fill 

 order as completely as we can and refund balance of remittance. 



GRADE. The leading Nurserymen of the country agree on 

 standard sizes for fruit trees, as to age,, height and caliper; 

 and in all our 65 years of existence there have been few com- 

 plaints on our grading. Please understand that "grade" and 

 "class" refer to size, and not to quality. It would be very 

 expensive and almost impossible to sort fruit trees to an 

 exact height; they are therefore given a flexible grade, such 

 as 3 to 4 feet, etc. When we list medium grade Apples as 

 4 to 5 feet, we are allowed one foot for variation. If you 

 should order the maximum of five feet, the grade would 

 change to first-class, which is 5 to 7 feet, at a higher rate. 

 On account of differing growth, the top grade of Peaches, 

 Sour Cherries, Quinces, etc., is shorter than Apples, Sweet 

 Cherries, Pears and Plums. 



SfimmPntS The care . and materials we use in packing trees, etc., for shipment, ensures safe delivery to anydestina- 

 onipnicii l». t « on by either f re ight, express or mail. In choosing between Express and Mail, take into consideration 

 that we can send stronger stock, more securely packed and delivered in better condition by Express. However you want it, 

 sent, al way Sv give full and explicit shipping directions. 

 STOCK OFFERED "BY MAIL" will be delivered at your 

 postoffice. All one year old trees* vines, etc, well rooted, 

 cut back to suitable size, guaranteed to reach you in good 

 condition. With proper treatment are almost certain to live 

 and do well. Those wishing to plant small lots, make small 

 investments, to save freight or express charges on long dis- 

 tance shipments, to plant young thrifty stock and train 

 according to their own requirements, will find this size admir- 

 ablv suited to their needs. 



BY FREIGHT OR EXPRESS. Every article not specially 

 priced "by Mail," is priced for delivery by Freight or Express, 

 packed free, but customer to pay transportation charges. All 

 heavy trees in large amounts should be sent by freight if time 

 is not too urgent, as the carrying charge is much less; and our 

 perfect packing admits a long journey without injury to the 

 trees. For shipments of medium weight, would suggest 

 express delivery; thus avoiding by quick delivery, the suspense 

 attending the slower freight. 



rv llt . rnnro^tap All goods are guaranteed to reach you in good condition, mistakes, if made, will be 

 uur UUaidlllCt!. promptly rectified. Accept shipment, examine and count on receipt, and notify us at 

 once should there be any errors, and the carrier as well if any damaged stock. This guarantee not good 

 unless above requirements are complied with. We do not guarantee growth. Remember a tree, shrub 

 or plant is a living organism, as much as a cow, horse or man It breathes, drinks and feeds and is liable to 

 attacks of disease and insects. At prices we sell, it is impossible. for us to guarantee growth or to be responsible 

 for stock after delivery to our customers in good condxtion^ ^ & ^ ^
