DESCRIPTIVE PRICED CATALOGUE. 
6 
EXPRESS. Small orders in bales, if to go a long distance, would be bet- 
ter to send by express and many times can be sent as cheaply, as a 20 per 
cent, discount from regular rates is applied to trees and plants. 
CHEAP TREES. We have 3 cent and 5 cent trees, if you want cheap stuff ; 
we had much sooner sell them here at our packing grounds when people can 
see what they are buying. 
AMOUNT OF ORDER. Noorder accepted for less than one dollar, except 
mail orders. 
ORDER EARLY. If all buyers understood the importance of this, it 
would save much confusion, and they would get the better service all around. 
All orders should be taken in their turn. A customer who gets his order in 
in February should be served before an April buyer, as a matter of course. 
NO AGENTS. I receive a good many letters annually saying "trees 
bought from your agent have proved a failure." People with no reputation 
to lose get hold of my catalog and represent that they are taking orders for 
my stock. Brand them on the spot as imposiers, and remember you can get 
my trees only by sending direct to me, except in rare cases, when I allow 
representative parties to make up club orders in their neighborhood, and in 
every case the party will be able to show proper credentials, if he cannot, 
leave him alone. 
This same prediction has been made many times since, but largely by peo- 
ple who neglected to plant, or those who after planting failed to care for 
their orchards intelligently. Our improved facilities for disposing of our 
crops, and the enormous increase in our population warrant me in saying that 
twenty years hence the best piece of property a man can own will be a good 
apple orchard. 
With our present refrigerator service our fruits reach the cold Northwest, 
and by the same service our Apples and Pears find ready sale on the Euro- 
pean markets, and are eagerly sought for, and the promi.se in the near future 
of much quicker time and cheaper transportation in reaching foreign mar- 
kets, make prospects bright for better profits in the future. 
During the last months of the year 1901, the Apple crop from some of the 
orchards in Franklin and Kennebec counties in Maine, was sold for more 
money than the price formerly asked for the farms on which they grew.
