FUMIGATION AND INSPECTION. 
Out nurseries are iuspected each year (See certiflcate, page 4) but in order t« 
insure our patrons we will on requesit fumigate any goods sihipped to them. 
OUK RESPONSl!lilL,ITY. The hundreds of Fruiting Orchards of our stock all 
over the country. Ask for names of men who iiave them, also any of the business 
men of our town, the banliing house of Wm. H. Seward & Co., Auburn, N. Y., or any 
commercial agency. 
OUR KNl)OKSEj>lJBNTS. An endorsement or recommend that does not cover the 
actual fruitage of trees or plants set does not signify any safety. Any one in the 
business can furnish flattering testimonials of recent shipments, but the true test of 
a planting covers its actual fruitage. It should interest you to read what our large 
planters say on this point. We yield to no one in the business covering the character 
of proofs we can and do furnish, relating to correct labeling, and trees true to name. 
See endorsements page 5.

Do you know that healthy trees, up to grade, and true to name are the only trees 
a nurseryman can deliver and stay long in business? 
The probability of your getting such trees is made sure by dealing with a very 
long established house widely known for accurate labeling. We earnestly request 
your most searching inquiry as to our reputation in this respect. 
QUALITY FIRST. This signifies Just what it means. We dislike to use the word 
Bargain Lots because so much of this class of stock should be consigned to the fire 
heap. It is poor value at any price. 
(jrR.'VI)lXG. Our trees are graded as indicated through the catalog and the 
smaller and younger trees in point of form, health, and root system, are in no sense 
inferior to the larger sizes but are perfectly developed plants. 
0.4l"TI0X. You will meet with all kinds of prices on Apple trees this coming 
spring. Our advice to our customers is do not be caught napping, or led into the 
belief that a good, first class, well rooted, well grown tree can be bought for less 
money than quoted by us. We employ no cheap labor. Only the best of help and 
the best methods are employed to produce our dependable fruit trees. You can buy 
the "2 for ') cent" kind of trees anywhere, if this is the kind you want, but do not 
let anyone cause you to think they are first class trees. They are .iust what you could 
expect at that price and have nothing but disappointment written on them from start 
to finish. 
I'.\RCKL POST. Your attention is called to the pase devoted to parcel post 
values — goods laid down at your door post-paid. 
E.MERGKXCV OROERS. Do not hesitate to phone us. During the planting sea- 
son one is usually in a hurry. Enough will he added to your order gratis to more 
than meet your telephone toll. 
PRO.MPT SERVTOE. Complaints for poor service are little known with us. 
Read the following: 
"Trees ordered Monday P. M. arrived by express the following evening. That 
beats anything in my experience for prompt service." 
•G. D. SIMPSON, Carlton, New York. 
TREES DIRECT FROM THE GROWT/R. Buying any class of merchandise direct 
^rom the producer is the cheaper and more practical way. This has special signifi- 
cance as applied to fruit trees and plants. The least handled the least exposed. Trees 
fresh packed, direct from the nursery to the planter will reach destination In fresh 
condition and several profits made by middlemen are saved to the planter. 
Bl'V DIRECT 
When 1 was ready to buy my first lot of fruit trees, a leading house, selling 
through agents, asked me $45 per hundred for selected 2-year apple trees. I secured 
the same grade from you for less than half that price. Of course I shall continue to 
give yon mv business. FRiED W. LEE, Augusta, Maine.
