Best Size Trees to Plant 
Genuineness of Variety First Importance 
Of first importance is to secure the variety you 
need, true to name. Upon this depends the future of 
your orchard and not on the size of the trees planted. 
It is a mistaken idea that a smaller size tree is a 
stunted tree. There are hundreds of causes which 
may affect the size of a fruit tree in the nursery row. 
The fact of the matter is the size of a tree from a well 
cultivated block, carefully grown, healthy, clean, 
free from disease, and carefully handled is of equal 
value as the larger tree grown in the same block and 
will come into bearing equally as early. 
The most important point in the value of a tree is 
genuineness. It must be true to name or its actual 
value is lost ; free from insect pests, and when bought 
from the nursery direct, you run no risks with trees 
sold by Pomona Nurseries as they are guaranteed to 
prove in every way as represented above. 
Free Boxing and Packing 
We box and pack all shipments without charge. 
All orders are put up in boxes or bales, lined with 
heavy paper to guard against stock drying out; the 
trees and plants are packed in moist excelsior and 
straw. 
Cash with Order 
You will readily see that it is impossible for us to 
open hundreds of small accounts every spring, with 
the attendant labor and expense of bookkeeping ; that 
we ask for cash with order is no reflection whatever 
on the credit of our customers but a necessity to the 
success of a mail order business, and at the low price 
we are selling it is impossible for us to accept of any 
order amounting to less than $1.00. 
How Best to Remit 
Remit by Bank Draft, Express Money Order, Post 
Office Money Order or Registered Letter. We will 
ship trees and plants C. 0. D., providing 25% of the 
total of your order is sent in cash. If the order goes 
by express you pay the balance to your express agent 
upon arrival. If the order goes by freight you pay 
the balance at your bank, where you will also find 
freight bill and order on your freight agent to deliver 
shipment to you.

Place Your Order Early 
All orders should be sent in as early as possible to 
insure prompt attention. As far as possible it is our 
rule to fill all orders according to the rotation in 
which they are received. All trees and plants are 
packed in the besfmanner for shipment to all distant 
points, and delivered on board cars here at the prices 
named in this catalogue. We ask our patrons to 
notify us immediately after receipt of order if any 
errors have occurred in the filling of their orders, so 
tnat we may adjust such complaints. We desire to 
conduct our business in all re- 
spects satisfactorily to those who 
favor us with their confidence. 
All orders should be written out 
on the order-sheet herewith ; this 
will save us much trouble and 
prevent mistakes.
