Guarantee. 
While we exercise the greatest care to have every plant true to name and are 
ready, on proper proof, to replace anything sent by ns that may prove untrne to 
label, free of charge, it is understood and agreed between purchaser and ourselves, 
that we are not to be held liable for any greater sum than that paid us for said 
plants that may prove untrue. When out of a variety we do not substitute unless 
requested to do so by purchaser. 
Special. 
We respectfully call your attention to our prices. 
Our stock is as fine as we ever grew and will surely please you in every respect. 
It has been examined by the State Inspector of Nurseries and Orchards and 
found free from San Jose scale, dangerous insects pests or fungus diseases. 
My packing is done under my personal supervision, with plenty of fresh 
moss and as light as consistent with safe carriage by express or freight. 
When Plants Are Received. 
Dip roots in water, untie bunch and spread roots, then bury the roots in 
moist, shady ground until planted. Neglect for an hour or so is often fatal. 
Varieties marked (P) are pistillate, having imperfect blossoms, while those 
marked (S) are .staminate and have perfect, of pollen-bearing blossoms. 
We sell six of a variety at dozen rates, 50 plants of a kind at 100 rates. 500 
plants of a kind at 1000 rates.

Union B.\nking Co., or Commercial St.vte Bank, St. Joseph, Mich., or 
any merchant of Bridgman. Send stamped envelope for answer when writing to 
references. 
It sometimes happens that we send two Catalogues to one address. Should 
you receive more than one copy please hand the extra one to some friend who will 
be interested in it. 
We want a list of names and postoffice addresses of all people interested in 
fruit growing, either for home use or market. Can you not send us a few. 
I^ocation and Shipping Facilities. 
Our location and shipping facilities are of the best. We are located in the 
southern portion of the famous Fruit Belt of Western Michigan, 15 miles north of 
the Indiana state line, and one and one-half miles from the shores of Lake 
Michigan. 
We are located on the Chicago & West Michigan R. R. which has a thorough 
system in this and adjoining states. It has direct communication with Chicago 
(the great distributing center of the United States) by rail or boat. We are also 
accessible to the Vandalia R. R. which gives us a direct outlet to Indiana and 
southern points. Thus it will be seen that our location and shipping facilities are 
excelled by none.
