Ten-rate prices are for five or more and less than twenty-five of a kind. 
Hundred-rate prices are for twenty-five or more and less than 250 of a kiad 
Thousand-rate prices are for 250 or more of a kind. 
We cannot agree to fill small orders for a few of a kind for less than 
single rates, as it oftentimes takes one over many acres of ground to fiU a 
single order, and the proportionate expense of digging and packing orders 
must be taken into account.

TERMIS. Cash in advance from unknown parties who do not furnish satisfactory 
reference. We send invoice at time of shipment of order, and should any 
errors be noticed on receipt of goods notify us immediately and we will do 
all in our power to rectify same. 
HOW ORDERS ARE SHIPPED. We ship all large trees and other bulky orders, 
which are to go outside the city, by freight, unless otherwise requested. 
Medium sized orders can be shipped by express. This way is especially 
advisable where immediate arrival is desired. 
PACKIN8. We make no charge for packing excepting in cases where large, bulky 
stock is sent or where we are requested to ship with carefully preserved balls 
of earth, etc., which necessitates devoting more time and packing material 
than is usual. In this case a charge covering actual coi^ts is made. 
DELIVERY. AH orders for New Haven are delivered by our teams free, and while 
we do so as promptly as possible the nature of our business is siich that we 
cannot agree to deliver small orders at any specified time. 
All other orders are delivered to the local freight and express companies. 
After receiving receipts from forwarders our responsibility for their safe 
arrival ceases. 
Should orders not arrive promptly, if we are notified, we will have the 
tardy shipment traced. 
ORDER EARLY. Do not wait until you are ready to plant before ordering, but 
place your order at once if possible. We will hold such orders subject to 
further directions if requested. The actual shipping season is so short that 
much is gained both to the planter and the nurseryman when orders are 
booked as far in advance as possible of the actual shipping season. 
HOW TO REACH US. Our nursery and office are located at EDGEWOOD, Edge- 
wood Avenue, just beyond Edge wood Park. The Edge wood Avenue cars

a proper manner. Parties wishing us to furnish such service will do well to

how to establish fine velvety lawns. 
Specimens for Immediate Effect 
2] T the nursery we give special attention to growing into large sizes many kinds 
VTl of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, etc., for by their use mucn 
quicker results can be obtained than by the use of smaller stock. 
We have now a limited number of fruiting sizes in Apple, Pear, Cherry, Plui^ 
and Quince trees, also many fine specimen shade trees, shrubs and roses. Par- 
ticular attention is called to our large collection of specimen evergreens, ready 
for immediate effects. The number of these specimen plants is always rnore 
limited than of the smaller grades. A visit to the nursery is desirable where 
the selection of individual specimens is desired. ^ 
All orders and other communications should be addressed direct to our omce.
