times, always give full name and post-ofiice address.

to fill oat blank spaces at the top for shipping directions, etc. Write plainlj'. Be sure to

we choose inode of shipment we will route by our best judgment, but our responsibility, 
so far as delivery goes, ends when goods are delivered in proper condition to lorwarders, 
because then they are beyond our control.

SELECTION — Not unfrequently customers consider it a kindness for us to make a selection 
for them in case we arc out of a given variety ordered ; if you do not care to permit this, 
say so. This does not apply in any sense to commercial varieties, ordered in quantities 
for which we never make substitution. 
PRICES— Our prices will be found as low as stock of QUALITY and GRADES mentioned 
can be grown atfd 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, unhealthy 
growth, grown on soil not adapted to it, will be found poor property at any price. The 
prices herein annul previous quotations.
