NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS 
Orders should always be placed early before assortments are broken. It Is often impossible to 
procure varieties wanted if orders are delayed until planting time. We will reserve stock for 
orders at any time; ready for shipment when desired. Also will place stock in storage in the fall 
for winter or early spring shipment. 
All orders should be written plainly on a separate sheet of paper. 
We deliver all goods at railway or express office, taking receipts for all goods as shipped, 
after which purchasers must look to forwarders for all damage caused by delay or miscarriage 
in transit. 
Plain shipping instructions should accompany all orders. When not given, we forward accord- 
ing to our best judgment, without assuming responsibility, as all goods travel at purchaser's j-isk. 
Our shipping season in the fall begins about the first of October and continues throughout 
the winter and spring until in May. 
Our storage facilities and equipment are such as to enable us to carry a large assortment 
of stock in storage during the winter and early spring so that shipments can be made when 
desired. 
We paper-line all boxes in packing, and in the winter months double paper-line our boxes 
and pack with extra care to protect from frost. 
GRADES — ^We grade carefully, in some cases by caliper, in others by height. When graded 
by both caliper and height the caliper must govern. 
CAUTION — We accept all orders on the condition that they shall be void should injury befall 
our stock from frost, hail, fii-e or other causes over which we have no control. 
CLAIMS for errors should be made promptly on receipt of goods, as we cannot rectify them 
unless promptly made. 
GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS — While we exercise the utmost diligence and care to jiave 
our varieties true to name, and hold ourselves in readiness on proper proof, to replace all trees, 
etc., that may prove otherwise, or refund the amount paid, it is mutually understood and agreed 
between the purchaser and ourselves that we shall in no case be liable for any sum greater than 
the amount originally received for said trees, etc., that prove untrue. 
We consider varieties marked with a (*) as the most valuable. 
Remember to address all correspondence to Mount Arbor Nurseries, or E. S. Welch ; letters 
intended for us addressed otherwise often are seriously delayed or fail to reach us.
