Read Instructions Carefully 
ERRORS. Immediate notice should be given us of any error in filling an order so 
that we may rectiiy tlie mistake, or give a satisfactory explanation, which is cheerfullj' 
done in all cases. We disclaim liability for losses arising from defective planting or subse- 
quent 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 caTe to have all trees, shrubs and 
plants true to name and 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 immediately deduct the number of trees called for in 
each 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 orders, asking that we fill them immediately. We are glad to 
comply with such requests where possible, but every one will concede that a person order- 
ing early should have consideration first. 
HOW TO ORDER. Use our printed order blanks where possible. Write your name, 
post-office, and state distinctly, also express or freight station where different from post-office, 
address every time you order. Everything pertaining to the order should be written on 
the sheet with order. 
PARCELS POST. We are now able to ship by Parcels Post to any point in the United 
States, packages weighing not exceeding twenty pounds nor seventy-two inches in combined 
girth and height, therefore we can send trees not larger than from two to three feet for 
2% cents each extra; blackberries, raspberries, currants, roses, etc., at 2 cents each extra; 
strawberry plants, 35 cents per 100. 
No package can be sent for less than five cents, and cash or stamps for postage must be 
sent in advance, otherwise stock will be sent by freight or express. 
DURING SHIPPING SEASON. Tf your letters are not answered promptly or as fully 
as usual at this time, remember we are working fifteen to eighteen hours a day and do not 
have time to write long letters, give directions for fruit culture, or give such information 
as may be asked in regard to cultivation of trees and plants that we otherwise would be 
glad to. 
Care of Trees on Arrival and Best Methods of Planting, is explained fully in our book- 
let, which we intend to send out to each customer. If you do not receive one, write us.
