OUR GUARANTEE AS TO OUR STOCK. 
We guarantee our stock to be free from disease, scale, or other insect pests. 
Every season we have a representative of the Department of Agriculture of 
the state of New York make a careful inspection of our nursery, and we are fur- 
nished annually with a certificate stating that it is apparently free in all 
respects from contagious or infectious disease or diseases, San Jose scale, or 
other injurious insect pest or pests. 
As an additional precaution, we have built on our shipping yard a scien- 
tifically-constructed fumigating house, and every tree and plant, before 
shipment, is fumigated with hydrocyanic acid gas. The e.xpense of this fumi- 
gation is no small item, but it enables us to give our customers an absolute 
guarantee that our stock is free from all insect pests. 
To repeat : We offer through our salesmen and accept orders for only the 
varieties that we can furnish, so we can guarantee our stock as furnished to 
be true to label. Should any item, through a mistake, prove not to be true to 
label, the purchase money will be refunded or other stock furnished, at the 
option of the purchaser. 
"TRANSPLANTING AND AFTER=CULTURE." 
This is the title of our thirty-two paged pamphlet giving full directions- 
for the transplanting and care of fruit and ornamental nursery stock. It is 
practical in every department, and we believe it to be the most complete work 
of the kind ever published for free distribution. Every customer is entitled 
to a copy free, and others can secure it by sending a two-cent stamp to pay- 
postage. Very respectfully, 
THE R. G. CHASE COMPANY.
