Care 
SHIPMENTS 
Our goods are sold V. O. B. cars at the point of 
shipment and travel at the purchaser's risk and ex- 
pense. We do not guarantee safe delivery. The 
ownership of all goods sold by us passes to the 
purchaser after delivery by us to the carrier, and 
the issuing of a receipt by the carriers ends our 
responsibility. Any claims for damage should be 
made promptly to the agent of the transportation 
company at the point of delivery. 
CLAIMS 
If any, must be made upon receipt of goods, when 
they will be carefully and cheerfully examined, and, 
if just, satisfactory adjustments will be made with 
purchaser. Claims made after five days from re- 
ceipt of goods will not be entertained. 
ERRORS 
Immediate notice should be given us of any error 
in filling an order so that we may rectify the mis- 
take, or give a satisfactory explanation, which is 
cheerfully done in all cases. We disclaim liability 
for losses arising from defective planting or sub- 
sequent cultivation and treatment. A continuation 
by the purchaser of the careful handling and earnest 
effort given the stock up to the time of its leaving 
our hands will ordinarily leave no room for losses 
or complaints. 
GUARANTEE 
While we exercise the greatest care to have all 
trees, shrubs and plants true to name afid healthy, 
and hold ourselves prepared to replace, on proper 
proof, all that may prove otherwise, we do not give 
any warranty, express or implied, and in case of 
an error on our part it is mutually understood and 
agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that we 
shall not, at any time, be held responsible for a 
greater amount than the original price of the goods. 
ORDER EARLY 
By having orders in early we can give them better 
attention, plan the packing and shipping to better 
advantage, and with less liability of any mistakes 
being made. When we receive an order we imme- 
diately deduct the number of trees called for in 
€ach variety from our supply of stock in these 
varieties in the nursery and consider them sold. 
LATE ORDERS 
Many persons will wait until they are all ready 
to set plants or trees and then send in their or- 
ders, asking that we fill them immediately. We are 
glad to comply with such requests where possible, 
but every one will concede that a person ordering 
early should have consideration first. 
SIZE OF ORDERS 
Owing to high costs incident to the handling of 
orders, we cannot accept orders amounting to less 
than $2.50.
