THE TIME TO PLANT 
Always bear in mind that south of the Mason & Dixon line, all kinds of trees, plants, vines, 
etc. that we sell, can safely be transplanted at any time in the Fall, Winter or Spring. The 
colder and damper the ground is the better, provided, of course, that it is not frozen or miry. 
During the cold months trees, vines, etc. are dormant — asleep — and never know that they are 
transplanted. Therefore, do all your planting in the Winter or as early in the Spring as pos- 
sible. Even in the North planting can be safely done in cold weather if a little litter or coarse 
manure is used as a protection. 
OUR REFERENCES 
For those who do not know us, we refer to Merchants Bank, Cleveland, Tenn.; J. I. Har- 
rison, Postmaster, Cleveland, Tenn.; Commercial Agencies or any business house in Cleveland. 
WAY OF SHIPPING 
We ship by freight and express. All orders that go by express are baled, those that go 
by freight are boxed. We advise sending by express as far as possible, as most Express Com- 
panies take nursery stock at a rate that is 20% lower than the regular merchandise rate. 
SUBSTITUTION 
This year we have a very large stock of varieties which reach the high-water mark in qual- 
ity, and we confidently expect to be able to supply the wants of all our customers. However, 
certain varieties sell far in excess of some others, and this contingency must be reckoned with. 
When it comes time to ship your order, is it your wish, should we be sold out of the varieties 
that you have selected, that we substitute some other variety of better or equal merit in their 
place? In making out your order, be very explicit on this point. Please note that there is a 
place on the order blank to write, Yes or No. In case you write neither Yes or No, we shall 
understand it is your desire that we use our own judgment in the matter. Rest assured that 
we shall substitute only when it is absolutely necessary to do so. We make this matter clear 
so as to avoid delays at shipping time and any misunderstandings. If you have a second 
choice as to varieties, please indicate what they are. This will aid us very much, and also 
give you double assurance of getting what you want. Often a similar variety can be sent that 
will be equally satisfactory, and frequently customers prefer it rather than lose a year in plant- 
ing. 
SPECIAL NOTICE TO QUANTITY BUYERS
