WE CANNOT REPLACE STOCK GRATIS. These prices 
do not include any guarantee of growth. We will guarantee 
our stock to be in first-class condition when delivered to our 
railroad station, but as we have no control of the stock after 
it leaves our hands, we cannot be responsible for it. Remem- 
ber a tree, shrub, or plant is a living organism, as much as 
a cow, horse or man. It breathes, drinks and feeds, and 
is liable to attacks of diseases and insects. 
PARCEL POST. We cannot ship by parcel post any trees 
larger than 3 to 4 ft. in height. We recommend that straw- 
berries be ordered shipped by parcel post, large orders by 
otpress. Be sure to include postage in your remittance which 
can be estimated as follows in 1st and 2nd zones: 
NO CHARGE LESS THAN .OS 
Asparagus, 2 yr., .20 per 100 
Asparagus, 3 yr., .30 per 100 
Roses, perennials, berry bushes, except strawberries: 1st 
plant, .05; each additional plant, .01. 
Strawberries (Before May I), .08 per 100 or fraction 
thereof. (After May I), .10 per 100 or fraction thereof. 
Shrubs and small trees not exceeding 3 to 4 ft. in height, 
.05 for first specimen; .01 for each additional specimen. 
APPLICATION OF RATES. Customers may select six of 
any particular variety at dozen rates; fifty at hundred rates 
or five hundred at thousand rates; such as six Baldwin or 
fifty Baldwin. 
SIZE OF ORDERS. Owing to high costs incident to the 
handling of orders, we cannot accept orders amounting to 
less than $2.50. 
GR-ADES. We grade primarily by caliper, height being 
only approximate, and this places many of our trees in the 
second grade, which might be sold as first grade by those 
who frrade only by height. We consider that good stock, 
well graded by caliper, will give more general satisfaction 
year after year than when graded by height.
