Early Orders are sometimes necessary 1 1 secure the special 
variety and get stock in time. We are rushed during the ship 
ping seasbn. 
True to Name. We use the greates care to have till our 
vines reliable and true to name, ;tnd will, on proper proof, re- 
place anything that may not prove true to name. It is mutu- 
ally agreed, between the purchaser and ourselves, that we shall 
hot at any time be held responsible f r more than th. orig- 
inal cost of vines. 
Shipments. Small shipments should be sent by mail (limit 
■I lbs.) or express; and in ordering goods to go by freight it is 
best to make your orders exceed 100 pounds, as most railroad 
ct mpanies charge the same for twenty or thirty pounds as for 
the above. All goods must be paid for in advance or C. O. D., 
one-fourth payable in advance and goods sent C. O. T).. subject 
to examination, (which means that the party examining the 
goods a. the depot before paying for them and taking them off. 
and if goods give satisfaction, the party is to pay the balance 
on the goods). In case the goods do not give satisfaction, thev 
can be returned, and in such case if the .transportation charges 
do not amount to the one-fourth payment, the remainder- will 
lie returned at once to the party having made such payment. 
Persons Unacquainted with the different varieties can leave 
the selection to us. in which case we select as planting for 
ourselves. 
liemittance. Never send money without having your letter 
-cgistered. unless you send per postoffice order, express monev 
order or bank deposit. Express money • orders are cheap and 
convenient for those that don’t like to do any writing. 
Substitution. When orders come in late it is customary, 
should -the supply of a -variety become exhausted (as will oc- 
casionally occur in all establishments), to substitute in its plac» 
a' similar sort, if there is such, always labeling corrpotly.
