GUARANTEE: I guarantee all plants sold by me to 
be true to name, and should any prove to be untrue, I will 
replace same free of charge or refund the money at any 
time within two years. I also guarantee all plants to be 
free of crown gall or other injurious diseases. 
DISCOUNT: As an inducement for early orders I 
will give a discount of 10 per cent on orders received in 
February, S per cent on orders received during March, 
but all prices are net after April 1st. Orders are filled in 
the order they are received, and it is only natural that 
the first orders are filled with the best stock. 
C. O. D. SHIPMENTS: If anyone wishes to take ad- 
vantage of the discount offered for early orders, but can- 
not send the entire amount, he may send 25 per cent with 
the order and the plants will be sent by express C. O. D. 
at the proper time. 
ABOUT SHIPPING. It is advisable to have practically 
all plants shipped by express. If wanted by parcel post, 
add 10 cents for each 100 strawberries or 25 raspberries. 
Freight shipments are extremely hazardous, unless you 
live on a direct road to Putney. 
HOW TO REMIT: Remit by money order, bank 
draft, registered letter or personal check. Postage stamps 
accepted for amounts less than one dollar. 
IN REGARD TO PRICES: While my prices are more 
reasonable than most nurserymen's, they are not lowered 
at the expense of the quality of the stock sent out. Some 
concerns spend over $100,000 a year on high priced adver- 
tising and catalogs and their customers pay the bills. If in 
doubt as to my reliability ask the Horticultural Depart- 
ment of any New England Agricultural College.
