TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE. 
We reserve the selection of varieties to ourselves, but always give the

receipt of stock. 5 per cent, off for cash with order, except on grape vines. 
Our Guarantee of Genuineness.— While we exercise the greatest diligence 
and care to have all our trees, etc., true to label, and hold ourselves in readiness, 
on proper proof, to replace all trees, etc., that may prove untrue to label, free of 
charge, or refund the amount paid — it is mutually understood and agreed to 
between the purchaser and ourselves, that our guarantee of genuineness shall in 
no case make us liable for any sum greater than originally received for such 
trees, etc., that prove untrue.
