INVITATION. A personal inspection of my stock in its different stages 
of growth is always in order. 
Hints on Transplanting. 
Preparing Soil, Mulching, Pruning, etc., are very clearly set forth 
in a large four page folder which we send free ■with every order, and which is 
full of valuable suggestions.

Rule. — Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the 
plants are apart in the rows, and the product will be the number of square feet 
for each plant or hill; which divided into the number of square feet in an aci'e 
(43.560), will give the number of plants or trees to the acre. 
PLEASE NOTE. 
No one is allowed to take orders for our stock unless authorized to do so 
over my signature. In localities where our stock is well known, unscrupulous 
parties in different states have tried to make prospective buyers believe they 
were handling our stock. In a certain sense this is a compliment to us, but 
the buyer needs protection from such crooked business methods as this, and in 
such cases, if the would-be seller cannot show proper credentials, write me 
immediately. 
STRONG PROOF. Do you want a stronger evidence concerning the 
superior value of our stock than you find in the statements made by our pa- 
trons? You will find among our customers the most progressive and success- 
ful Fruit Growers m this country, and the largest buyers. 
GRADES. Our different grades are all carefully selected and our lighter 
grades are not old rough stock, but youn^, clean, thrifty and well rooted. 
Avoid an old small tree. 
EXPRESS. Small orders in bales if to go a long distance, would be 
better 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, No order accepted for less than one dollar, except 
mail orders. 
I^-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 gnod 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' tht-m on the spot as impcster.s, and remember you can get my 
trees only by sending direct to me. except m rare cases, when I allow repre- 
sentative 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.
