Our packing house where our trees are carefully graded and packed 
Read Carefully Before Ordering 
ORDERS. Orders should be sent in just as soon 
as possible after receiving catalogue. By placing or- 
der early you arc more certain of getting the varie- 
ties wanted, as late in the season we are usually sold 
out of some of the varieties. If ordered early we 
can reserve the stock until you want it shipped. We 
acknowledge receipt of all orders promptly. 
.'IllPPIIVf; SKASON.— We begrin filling- orders 
about October l.'ith and continue dig-g-inar and 
-shippine' during- the entire fall, winter and 
spring- until May 10th to Ifith. We are some- 
times delayed in January. February and the 
oarly part of March by freezing: weather 
but usually able to ship mo.st of the time 
durmg these months. 
Nursery stock is successfully planted any time 
during winter months that ground is not hard frozen. 
In freezing weather the roots should be well pro- 
tected in handling and not exposed to frost, however. 
PACKING. — We make no extra chartre for 
boxing- and packing, all stock Is delivered f. 
o. b. train at prices quoted in this catalog. 
We use damp moss in packing- all stock, 
which insures safe delivery. 
SPECIFIED DATE OF SHIPPING We want 
our customers, if pos.sible when ordering to 
state the date they wish their order-s shipped 
and we will always ship on that date when 
possible, but cannot guarantee it. for in- 
stance, during autunm and spring we have 
at times stormy weather, and during winter 
months the soil is often frozen for a few 
days at a time, for these and other reasons 
beyond our control we cannot guarantee to 
ship on the specinod date. We are always 
ready and do get right after filling- your or- 
ders at the earliest moment possible, when 
weather conditions permit m.an and beast to 
be out of shelter. Send your order earlv and 
state date you wish it shipped. Then we can 
come pretty near shipping on date mention- 
ed.

fiOO or more at the 1000 rate. When making 
up your order follow these instructions as we 
cannot sell stock in small numbers for the 
same prices as for larger numbers, labor is 
a heavy item of expense in the nursery, and 
every time a different variety of stock is 
taken up the foreman with his men must 
move to a different place In the nurseries 
which IS e.xpensive, saying nothing of the 
extia work in the packing House and Office, 
ihere is a reason. This Is one of the things 
\ve would like to do but cannot. ""in^s

SPECIAL LOW EXPRESS KATES.— We can 
ship stock by Kxpress to any part of the 
country at rates 20 per cent, less than mer- 
chandise. 
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE STOCK TO 
LIVE.--We guarantee all stock we sell strict- 
ly first cl.ass and TRUK-TO-NAME, dug and 
packed properly for shipment; our prices 
compete with other reliable nurserymen, we 
do not charge a price for a tree, that should 
It die, we could replace it and then still make 
a profit. Stock often perishes when It is 
not properly planted and cultivated, also the 
severe cold and heavy storms of winter, and 
drougths of sjiring and summer, which is 
liable to occur will sometimes cause the best 
of stock to perish, which is no fault of ours
