LINN COUNTY NURSERY 
We firmly believe in selection, and always cut propagating wood from the trees 
which produce the best results in the orchard. Practically all of our scions are grown 
in our own orchard. Those which are not are procured from the most reliable sources. 
We never send out want lists to see where they can be bought cheapest. 
Prices. Our prices are not the lowest — the care which we devote to growing 
stock increases the cost greatly — but our trees are so vastly superior to those grown 
without particular care that the difference in first cost appears small by comparison. 
The point to be considered is that of final results, and in this our trees will outdistance 
the cheaper ones many times over. 
Our Packing and Shipping Facilities. Our large packing-shed and cellar, located 
near the Rock Island Station at Center Point, give us splendid facilities for handling 
orders promptly and accurately. All stock will be delivered from this point, and not ^ 
from our farm as formerly. 
Guaranty. We exercise great care to keep our varieties true to name, and are 
ready at any time to replace any stock that may prove untrue, or refund the amount 
paid for the same; but it is mutually agreed that we are not to be held liable for any 
amount greater than the original price of the goods. 
Condition. We accept all orders on condition that they shall be void should any 
injury befall our stock from hail, frost, storm, fire or other causes over which we have 
no control. 
Always state whether shipment is to be made by freight, express, or mail; if by 
freight or express, state route preferred. When ordering by mail, make your re- 
mittance sufficient to cover postage. 
Size and Price of stock should be carefully specified. We use every effort to avoid 
errors, but in a busy season these occasionally occur. If notified promptly of any mis- 
takes, however, we will gladly rectify them. 
Please Remit Cash With Order whenever possible, especially with small orders. 
Satisfactory security is required from strangers who desire to open an account with 
us. Remittance may be by check, draft, money order or registered letter. Stamps are 
acceptable for amounts less than $1.00. 
We Make No Extra Charge for packing and delivering to freight or express office. 
The greatest care is taken to pack so that stock will arrive in first-class condition. 
Order Early. Every spring we are compelled to refuse orders for certain lines 
of stock of which we are entirely sold out. Order early and you will be sure of get- 
ting what you want, as well as the pick of the stock. 
Trees by Mail. For the benefit of our customers living at a distance we are now 
supplying fruit trees of a size that can be sent by mail, thus saving high express 
charges. These are one-year trees of named varieties. Should you order a sort of 
which the supply is exhausted, we reserve the right to substitute a variety equally good 
and same season. All trees will be well wrapped and packed and sent postpaid at the 
following prices.
