phintina time: then others will be ahead of you. it tates time to pack correctly 
anil <ar>fully long lists of trees and plants. Give us reasonable notice and 
opportunity, and we will serve you promptly and well. We uoually begin digKing 
and shlppiu^r about April 1st. 
Terms Cash with Order, (ioods are sent bv Express C. O. D.. If desired, pro- 
viding one half of the amount accimipanies the order. All C. (). D. shtpmeuLs 
must be sent by express, tifitiines the stoi k would go safely by freight— therefore 
it Is best to .-end the full amount wlih the order, and thus save the extra charges 
on the goods and retui-n charges on the money. 
SPEQAL 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 accept early orders accompanied by one-third cash and 
reserve the stock for you. Balance to be sent us when stock is ordered 
shipped. 
Quality. The stock offered herein will be found of Orst-class quality lu every partic- 
ular. We have no rough, overgrown stock to oHer, and we are particular to grow 
our stock on soil adapted to ihe various kinds offered.

a wide extentof territory and a variety of soils. You are requested to correspond 
With us for any variety not mentioned herein, also for larger lots than herein 
quoted if needed. 
Prices. Our prices will be found as low as stock of (jtJ.M.iTV and gkarks mentioned 
can be grown and packed. It is well i/t remember there is as much dilference In 
the quality of nursery stock as in any other commodity. A tree with an inferl >r 
unhealthy growth, grown on soil not adapted to it, will befcmnd poor property at 
any price. 
Shipping Advantages. No one has belter. Being located on the N. V. C.& 
11. II. li. R.. and at tlie northern terminus of a branch of the Lehigh Valley Rail- 
road, gives us facilities for shipping our products surpassed bv none and equaled 
by few. H e also have the advantages afforded by the American and United 
Stales Express Companies. 
HARDINESS of our trees Is worthy of the consideration of all who contemplate 
buying either In small or large quantities. Located In one of the best Fruit Belts 
of western Now York, our soil and climate Is such as to give us a well ripened 
growth of wood, thus making our trees much more hardv, and better developed 
than some other soils and climates less favored, which produce a wi/(, e^xe^sive 
growth of i^tii ntts and unripened wood. 
Guaranty of Genuineness. Kvervthing sent out will be carefully labeled 
with its true name, only experleni ed and careful help will be used In putting up

of equal or greater value unless otherwise instructed. If you do not wish this 
done write plainly, " iio .■<ii/«(i(iitio/i," and .vimr money will be returned.
