of retaining your increased patronage. We would be glad to reply separately, 
to the many kind letters we have received complimentary to our stock, all of 
which have been helpful and encouraging, but this we cannot do, but by this 
acknowledgement we trust you will think that your patronage has been duly 
appreciated. We hope to so conduct our business as to entitle us to your furth-

logue. Be careful to fill out blank spaces at the top for shipping directions, etc. 
Write plainly. He sure to sig^n your name and give post office and state. Do not 
write letters on the same sheet with your order. 
When to Order. — It is important that you send orders earlv. Do not wait until 
planting time; then others will be ahead of you. It lakes time to uack correctly 
and carefully long lists of trees and plants. Give us reasonable notice and oppor- 
tunity, and we will serve you promptly and well. We usually begin digging and 
shipping about March 20th. 
Terms Cash with Order.— Goods are sent by Express C. O. D., if desired, provid- 
ing one-half of the amount accompanies the order. All C O. D. shipments must be 
sent by express. Ofttimes the stock would go safely bv freight — therefore it is best 
to send the fnll amount with the order, and thus save the extra charges on the 
goods and return charges on the money. 
SPECIAL TERMS. — For the benefit of customers who wish to order early, but who 
do not care to spare all of the money when order is sent, would say — We will ac- 
cept early orders accompanied by one-third cash, and reserve the stock for you. 
Balance to be sent us when stock is ordered shipped.

a wide extent of territory and a variety of soils. You are requested to correspond 
with lis for any variety not mentioned herein, also for larger lots than herein quot- 
ed if needed. 
Prices. — Our prices will be found as low as stock of m'ALiTv and gkades mentioned 
can be grown and packed. It is well to remember there is as much difference in the 
quality of nursery stock as in any other commodity A tree with an inferior, un- 
healthy growth, grown on soil not adapted to it, will be found poor property at 
any price. 
Shioplnpr Advantages. — No one has better. Being located on the N. Y. C. & H. 
R. R. R., and at the northern terminus of a branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad 
gives us facilities for shipping owv products suri)asscd by none and equaled by few. 
We also have the advantages afforflcd by the American I^.xpress Company. 
HARDINESS of our trees is worthy of the consideration of all who contemplate 
buying cither in small or large quantities. Located in one of the best Fruit Belts 
of western New Y'ork. our soil and climate is such as to give us a well ri]jened 
growth of wood, thus making our trees much more hardy, and better developed 
than some other soils and climate less favored, which produce a soft, cxccRfive 
growth of porous and unripened wood. 
Guaranty of Genuineness. — Kvcrvthing sent out will be carefully labeled with 
its true name. Only cNjicrienced and crirefui help will be used in putting up orders.
