Guarantee of Genuineness. 
We exercise the greatest care to keep our varieties 
puke and true to name, and we hold ourselves in readi- 
ness at all times to replace, on proper proof, all stock 
that may prove otherwise, or refund the amount paid ; 
but it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and our- 
selves that we shall not at any time be liable for any 
amount greater than the original price of the goods. 
Packing and Packing Gases. 
Our packing season usually begins October 1st, and 
continues through the winter until March 1st. 
The cost of cases seven and one-half to nine feet long, 
thirty inches, is $2.50 ; twenty-four inches, $2.00 ; eighteen 
inches, $1.50. Bales, 25 cents to 75 cents. No charge 
for drayage. 
Bales cost a higher rate of freight ; so, as far as possi- 
ble, we ship in cases. 
Skipping. 
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 customers’ interests 
without assuming responsibility. The risk and cost of 
transportation belong to purchaser. 
Grades. 
We grnde carefully ; in some cases by caliper, others 
by height. When by both, the caliper must govern. The 
lower number is included, and the higher number ex- 
cluded. For instance, in a grade from four to live feet 
four feet trees are included, but five feet go into the next 
grade. If plump five feet 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 be void should any injury befall the stock from 
frost, hail, storm, fire, or other causes over which we 
have no control. 
Claims. 
All claims must be made immediately on receipt of 
goods, or they will not be allowed.
