QUALITY OF STOCK 
The stock offered in this list is strictly first-class, and, we believe, absolutely 
free from all injurious insects or diseases. We aim to keep our Nurseries clean, 
so that the stock is healthy and vigorous. We invite inspection. Visitors are 
always welcome. See back cover for location of Nurseries. 
SUBSTITUTION 
We never substitute one variety for another. In case the size ordered is ex- 
hausted, we send the next size thereto and charge accordingly. Should the var- 
iety be exhausted, we at once notify the customer. 
The Planting Season 
The planting season begins in the spring as soon as the frost is out of the 
ground, which is about the first of April, and continues until the first of June. 
Directions for Shipping 
Parties ordering are requested to state explicitly the mode of conveyance 
by which they desire their stock forwarded. 
When no route is designated, we exercise our judgment; but in no case do 
we assume any responsibility after packages are shipped, unless for our own mis- 
takes. When losses occur by detention, claims should at once be made on the 
TRANSPORTATION COMPANY.
