AUSTIN NURSERIES 
REPLACING TREES 
Some persons so neg'lect or so badly plant their trees as tocause their loss; still 
they believe that the Nurseryman should be responsible, and replace them. We 
desire to say that if our sug'g'estions for planting-, pruning and cultivating are 
followed, little or no loss will result. But we cannot be held responsible for 
unfavorable seasons or other causes beyond man’s control, and the purchaser 
must take the same risk as we do in that re.spect. We guarantee trees to be 
healthy, fully up to grade, true to name, and carefully packed, but do not insure 
their living after having passed out of our hands and care. 
Freight, if less than one hundred pounds, is as cheap by Express, and much 
safer and quicker arriving than by Freight, and if not instructed otherwise we 
usually ship in this way. 
Weight of one thousand trees packed for shipment, is ordinarily one year, 
old, two to three feet, about three hundred pounds; three to four feet, five hun- 
dred pounds; four to six feet, two years old, thirteen hundred pounds. 
Execution of Orders is as nearly as possible in rotation as received, giving 
each order the most scrupulous care and attention. 
ATTENTION TO CUSTOMERS 
It is our earnest desire that all the requirements and directions of our cus- 
tomers shall be scruplously attended to by our assistants, and we practice the 
most careful personal supervision to see that they are carried out. We would 
therefore respectfully request that we be informed if at any time there is cau.se 
for dissatisfaction, that we may have it rectified at the earliest possible moment. 
Errors. The shipping season brings with it an unusual amount of items to be 
looked after, in the transaction of hundreds and even thousands of details inci- 
dental to our business, occasionally errors will occur. Then again, the mails are 
sometimes missent or delays occur on the road that we are not responsible for. 
It is always a pleasure to us to correct an error. If your order does not arrive 
promptly, write us and we will do all we can to trace it and hurry it through. 
Your Name, Postoffice and State should be written as full and plainly as possible, 
and be sure that neither is omitted. It sometimes occurs that letters are received 
that contain money that it is impossible to tell from whom or whence they come. 
Frequently we receive orders, letters of inquiry, and instructions in regard to 
shipping goods, without any signature, to which of course we are unable to reply. 
No Trees or Plants Sent by Mail. The labor and time required to properly pre- 
pare trees for mailing during our busy season, also of frequent insufficient remit- 
tances for postage, are inadequately repaid by the returns, and compel us to 
respectfully decline this class of orders. 
Club Orders. Neighbors, club together and take the advantage of cheaper rates 
by sending all your orders at once. Each one, though ordering only a few 
trees, will secure the same rates as though ordering the entire lot. Each party’s 
bill will be tied separate from the others, each variety labeled, and a tag tied iqjon 
the bundle containing the party’s name and invoice, so there will be no trouble in 
dividing. The entire lot must be shipped in one person’s name and at the same 
time. 
Cheap Trees. We always have a lot of nearly all varieties that we grow left 
over in the Nursery row after digging out the larger trees. By planting these 
out in a row and cultivating them a year, they will be nice trees to set out in an 
orchard and we will sell them to you very cheap. With a little extra labor on 
your part it is the very cheapest way of obtaining an orchard. 
Trees in Large Quantities. Those who want any kind of Nursery Stock in larger 
quantities than quoted in the Awf accompanying this Catalogue, either to 
plant or sell again, will confer a favor by writing to us and we will give them 
special prices or mail them our Wholesale Price List. 
The Number of Plants to set an acre maybe ascertained by multiplying the 
distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart, which 
amount divided in the number of square feet in an acre (43,500) will give the 
correct number.
