Packing 
Our packing season begins October ist, and continues through the 
Winter until March ist. 
Shipping 
Please state how goods must be sent; whether by freight or express; 
also route. If no directions are given, we will ship as we think best 
serves customer’s interests without assuming responsibility. Thk 
RISK AND COST OK TRANSPORTATION BELONG TO PURCHASER. 
Grades 
We grade carefully; in some cases by caliper, others by height. 
When by both, the caliper must govern. The lower number is in- 
cluded, and the higher number excluded. For instance, in a grade 
from four to five feet, four foot trees are included, but five foot go into 
the next grade. If plump five foot trees are wanted, the order must 
be for five to six feet. When possible, we prefer to send samples to 
prospective customers. 
Caution 
We accept all orders upon the condition that they shall lie void 
should any injury befall the stock from frost, hail, storm, fire or other 
causes over which we have no control. 
Claims 
Must be made immediately on receipt of goods. 
Mistakes 
Yes, we make them, sometimes; when made we wish to correct 
them. We try to avoid mistakes; rarely make the same one a second 
time. Thus, mistakes do us good; they improve our service. We are 
afraid of the man who “never makes mistakes.”
