READ THIS PAGE BEFORE ORDERING 
ORDER EARLY; The amount of nursery stock in the coun- 
try is estimated to be about 30 per cent of enough to supply the 
normal demand, and the demand this year is much heavier than 
usual. It will be necessary to order early if you are to get any 
stock for this Spring's planting. Over half of our supply of 
Raspberries was sold last Fall, Grapes and Currants are almost 
all sold and all other stock is being sold rapidly even before this 
catalog is printed. Do not delay but order at once and we will 
do the best we can for you. 
HOW TO REMIT: Remit by money order, bank draft, 
registered letter or personal check. Postage stamps accepted for 
small orders. 
DISCOUNT: I offer my usual discount of 10 per cent for 
orders received before March 1st, and 5 per cent for cders re- 
ceived before April 1st. It will be practically necessary to take 
advantage of the discount this season as my stock will be pretty 
well sold by March 1st. 
EASY TERMS: In order that everyone may send their order 
early even tho they cannot spare the entire amount, I will book 
orders that are accompanied by 25 per cent of the amount of the 
order. The balance may be sent later or stock will be sent C.O.D. 
ABOUT SHIPPING: All orders of 20 lbs. or more will gen- 
erally ship cheapest by express. If wanted by mail add 10 cents 
for each 100 Strawberry Plants or 25 Raspberries. 
GUARANTEE: I guarantee all stock true to name and free 
from disease. Should any prove to be otherwise I will refund the 
money or replace free of charge. But I cannot replace for any 
other reason stock sold at the prices listed herein. 
CLAIMS: When you receive your stock examine it carefully. 
If damaged or delayed in transit call the attention of your express 
agent to the fact, and enter claim for the amount. If stock is 
unsatisfactory from any fault of ours advise us at once. I can- 
not entertain any complaints not made at once on receipt of stock.
