We Want You to Read This 
I ] Carefully i 1 
Many persons will wait until they are all ready to set plants or trees and tlieii send 
in their orders, expecting that we can fill them immediately. When we receive an order 
we immediately deduct the number of trees called for in each variety from our supply of 
stock in tliese varieties in the nursery and we consider tliem sold and late orders have to 
take what is left. By having orders iji early we can give them better attention, plan the 
packing and shipping to bettor advantage, and with less liability of any mistakes being 
made. Write your name, post office and state distinctly, and be sure that you do this 
every time you write. If purcliasers choose, they can leave selection with us, merely stating 
the proportion of summer, fall and winter, or early, medium or late fruit wanted, as our 
experience enables us to select such sorts as are adapted to the locality. 
EBBOBS. Immediate notice should be given us of any error in filling out an order, 
so that we may rectify the mistake, or give a satisfactory ex|ilanation, which is cheerfully 
done in all cases. We disclaim liability for losses arising from defective planting or sub- 
sei|\ient cultivation and treatment. .\ continiuitioii by the purchaser of the careful hand- 
ling and earnest effort given the stock up to the time of its leaving our hands Avill ordi- 
narily leave no room for losses or complaints. 
GUABANTEE. While we exercise the greatest care to have all trees, shrubs and 
jdants 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 imjjlied, and in case 
of anj>rror on our part it is mutually understood and agreed between the purchaser and 
ourselves that we shall not, at any time, be lieM resi)onsible for a greater amount than the 
original price of the goods. 
Care of Trees on .\rrival and Best Methods of Planting, is explained fully in our 
booklet, "How to idant Trees and Plants," which we intend to send to each customer. If 
you do not receive one, write us.
