NOTICE THE FOLLOWING 
=— = POINTERS — — 
Orders should be sent in early. We fill orders in rotation, and those who wait until ready to 
plant may find us sold out of some varieties especially wanted. We shall be glad to reserve 
plants or trees, to be shipped at the convenience of the purchaser. 
Malting Out Your Orders — Please use the printed order blank enclosed with this; it will great- 
ly aid in filling your order quickly and without error. Write your name and postoffice plainly. 
If Miss or Mrs. specify which. If your express and postoffice have different names, mention the 
fact. ' , <L 
Remittances — We prefer Postal or Express Money Orders. Large amounts may be sent 
cashier's draft on New York. Don't send private check on your local bank unless you add 85 
cents for exchange. . 
*A 
Guarantee — We guarantee all our stock to be healthy and free from disease, well-grown, vig- ■» 
orous and in thrifty condition; to contain no overgrown or stunted trees; to be correctly labeled, 
well packed, and delivered to carrier in good condition, after which our responsibility ceases. 
While we exercise the greatest care to have all our trees, etc., true to label and hold ourselves in 
readiness, upon proper proof, to replace all that prove untrue to label free of charge, it is mutu- 
ally understood and agreed that our guarantee of genuineness shall in no case make us liable for 
any sum greater than the amount paid for the trees, etc., that shall prove untrue. 
Tenns — The terftis and conditions on which we offer the stock listed here invariably include 
prepayment, in full, in advance. For payment made in any other way, we will quote special prices. 
We will, however, book orders and reserve plants or trees, if a remittance of 25 per cent of the 
amount accompanies the order, the balance to be paid previously to shipment. 
Prices — Our prices are very low for the first-class stock we offer. Our reputation has been 
built up by good trees, good packing, prompt shipment and pleased customers; and we cannot 
undertake to compete with those offering inferior stock, who have nothing to lose. Our prices 
are fixed to suit the times, and yet to enable us to supply our customers with a high standard 
in our products. Every tree, plant or rose-bush is guaranteed to be a perfect specimen. Send 
us a list of your wants and we will quote you a special price on same. 
Packing — We pack with plenty of good, clean straw and sphagnum moss, which retains 
moisture for a considerable time, enabling us to deliver trees in fresh and perfect condition. 
Our packing is done by experienced workmen. 
Club Orders — We give special attention to them. Write for special Inducements. 
Claims must be made immediately on receipt of goods. We are as apt to make mistakes as 
anybody, and, when we do, we wish to know about it, so as to make suitable correction promptly. 
By Mall — All our stock is field-grown, and is entirely too large and heavy to be sent by mail. 
Trees must go by express or freight. 
Shipping Season usually extends from October 20 to April 10. 
Agents — We have been employing traveling salesmen for nearly thirty years. We believe in 
agents. We believe all our salesmen to be honorable men, and commend them to the public, ask- 
ing to be notified of any attempt at misrepresentation or overcharge, which we strictly forbid. 
Order Early — Send in your order now. Plants will be reserved. Delay may cause disappoint- 
ment.
