To Our Patrons 
We shall continue our policy of pushing tested varieties of fruits 
and ornamental stock at fair prices, rather than trying to force untried 
novelties because the margin of profit ts greater. 
We grow the best stock possibles the only stock which is fit to 
buy and set. Buy your cutis elsewhere ; ours are in ashes. 
We describe varieties as they behave with us in our fields and 
orchards. Our experience as commercial growers is always at your 
service. If we cannot answer your questions we will be frank enough 
to say, “ We don’t know.” 
Our Catalogue may not be as brilliant in the wit of its text, as 
gay in its coloring, as lengthy in its descriptions, or as large as those 
many competitors put forth, but we defy any one to find a dishonest 
statement, either within or on its covers. 
We would be pleased to have our customers examine our stock 
before buying, when possible. The State Inspector’s Certifi- 
cate of freedom from disease is attached to all shipments. 
Fumigation.— We will fumigate anv customer’s trees if he desires, 
without additional charge. 
We guarantee all goods true to label, and will hold ourselves respon- 
sible to the full price of goods should it prove otherwise. We employ 
only intelligent help, who can read and talk United States. If 
we did not we could not make the above guaranty. 
A Premium on Early Orders — It will be a great help to us to have 
our orders in early, and although our prices are so low that we cannot 
offer very great inducements, we have decided to allow our custo- 
mers, whose orders (with remittance) are received prior to 
March io to select 5 per cent additional stock free. 
No Substitution. — When we cannot supply the variety ordered, we 
will refund the money, unless requested to substitute some other variety. 
At prices named, goods are carefully packed in moss and straw, well 
baled or boxed, and delivered to forwarders, after which our responsi- 
bility ceases, except for errors in filling, which must be reported within 
"T days after receipt of goods, to admit of adjustment. 
Orders amounting to SIO will be delivered at any freight station 
in Connecticut without additional expense. Special figures on large 
orders. Terms cash. 
How far do we ship? Just as far as we have orders to go. But 
the farther you live from us the earlier you should have your goods 
shipped, as after growth begins plants should not be out of the ground 
any longer than possible. 
Plants are shipped same day they are dug. Any one who has had 
any experience in setting plants knows what an advantage this is. 
Six plants at dozen rates, 50 at 100 rates, and 500 at 1,000 rates. 
Berry plants mailed free at dozen rates. All large orders by express or 
freight at purchaser’s expense. 
Note especially that the prices of Strawberry plants do not apply 
during July, August and September. The digging of plants at this season 
is much more expensive, and means the destruction of innumerable 
young plants. During the summer we positively cannot afford to dig 
into our beds for any such prices. Summer price list on application.
