BUSINESS TERMS 



PRICES. — The prices in this list are for trees and plants 

 dug and loaded at our nurseries. We charge for delivery, or 

 packing in boxes, bales or crates for shipment. This saves you 

 money, and is the most equable, because our trees are bigger 

 and heavier than usual nursery stock. We can pack or deliver 

 three large trees, twenty years old, for about the same cost as 

 one. Cartage to the railroad is free. 



On request we shall be pleased to estimate the cost of 

 delivery and planting. 



Five, 50 and 500 plants sold at 10, 100 and 1000 rates, 

 respectively. 



TERMS OF PAYMENT— Net cash. 



GUARANTEE— NO RISK TO YOU.— We guarantee 

 every plant from our nursery, and give new ones for those that 

 do not grow satisfactorily. The cost of planting and trans- 

 portation of replaced trees is borne by the purchaser. 



PLANTING AND CARE.— This guarantee holds even 

 if your men plant. It is better that they prepare the ground 

 (send for sizes of holes), plant, mulch, or cultivate and water. 

 Summer watering is the most important. You can keep the 

 plants a week or two by firmly covering the roots with moist 

 earth immediately after delivery. 



SUMMER PLANTING 



Nearly all kinds of trees can be taken up with balls of earth 

 by the canvases and platforms which we invented. You do not 

 have to wait a year. If you want a shade tree 28 ft high, 1 8 ft. 

 broad, you can have it any time during the Summer. It is 

 guaranteed to grow satisfactorily, or replaced with another tree. 

 The risk is ours, the fun is yours.
