NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS 



We would say to those unacquainted with us that we have 200 acres devoted to the 

 business; our methods of growing and handling stock are up to date. We solicit corre- 

 spondence and personal inspection of our stock, confident that it will compare favorably 

 with the best. 



REFERENCES — For those who do not know us we refer to any leading nurseryman 

 in the United States, Dun and Bradstreet's Mercantile Agencies. 



PRICES — This list is intended for nurserymen and dealers only, and supersedes all 

 previous editions. The prices are for the quantities named : 250, 25 and 5 will be furnished 

 at the 1000, 100 and 10 rates respectively. We have tried to make our prices as low as 

 we think well-grown stock should be sold. We expect, however, to sell on the market and 

 meet reliable competition. 



TERMS — We are glad to grant 30 to 60 days' time for payment of bills to all respon- 

 sible parties, but parties we do not know, who have no commercial rating, must send remit- 

 tance with order, or a guarantee signed by some Bank or someone of known responsibility 

 to be sure of securing goods selected. If references are sent, we will confer with them 

 and after hearing favorably, if goods selected are still unsold, we will enter them as re- 

 quested, but we will not enter orders or ship goods until we know the customer is responsible. 



We will not hold goods on inquiries. 



Trees selected by customers at the nursery will be charged for in accordance with their 

 value. 



PACKING — This is done in boxes and bales for which a charge is made sufficient to 

 remunerate for the cost of material only. Trees packed in bulk at no extra charge. 



COMPLAINTS — Should there be any reason for complaint we must be notified on 

 receipt of goods, otherwise we cannot entertain it. We make it a point to give all reasonable 

 claims proper consideration. 



ORDERS — Are accepted upon condition that they shall be void should any injury 

 befall the stock from frost, or other cause over which we have no control. 



VARIETIES — We reserve the right to select the varieties, but will give the purchaser 

 his choice as far as is consistent with our stock. In ordering please state whether or not 

 substitution will be permitted in case we should be short of any sort wanted. 



GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS— While we exercise the greatest care to have 

 all our trees and plants genuine and reliable, and hold ourselves prepared to replace on 

 proper proof, all that may prove untrue, we do not give any warranty expressed or implied ; 

 and in case of any error on our part, it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and our- 

 selves that we shall not at any time be held responsible for a greater amount than the 

 original price of the stock. 



We guarantee all our stock to be in good condition on leaving our hands, but we do 

 not guarantee it to grow under all conditions, nor do we make up any loss whatever due 

 to climate effects, or after culture on the part of the-purchaser and the risks of transporta- 

 tion are to be borne by purchaser. When losses occur by detention, claims should be at 

 once made on forwarders.
