First — The articles in the tollowinfr list will be furnished at the annexed prices 
only, when the quantities specified are taken. Moreover, these prices arc intended 
for a reasonable iissortment of vaiieties. When parties order long lists of only one 
or two trees of a kind, f >r such bills extra charge will be made. 
t^'Second — Wlven i)arties order specific varieties we will follow their instructions 
so far as practicable. But as it often occurs that we have run out of certain varieties, 
or may not have of the age and size ordered, we reserve the right to substitute in 
such cases other varieties equally good, unless positively instructed not to do so. 
(®-Third — We will use every effort to avoid mistakes in varieties, for we fully 
realize that our success in the nursery business depends upon the reliability of our 
labels; but us there is such a margin for mistakes and misunderstanding (as above 
indicated), we will not warrant against errors or apparent mistakes in varieties, only 
to this extent, we will replace, free of charge, all trees that do not prove true to name, 
or we will refund in cash the original cost of such trees, with 10 per cent, interest per 
annum on said amount. (See fig. ‘2 on 1st page.) 
Fourth— All trees are caielully labeled and packed in the best manner for ship- 
ping, for which a charge will be made sufficient to cover the cost of material and 
labor. As trees are often delaved in transit and loughly handled, it is much better 
to pay a small sum to have them secure y packed than to have them poorly packed 
for nothing. 
Fifth — All orders should be made in a separate list, and not mixed up with the 
body of the letter. , • , i, 
Write in a plain, legible hand, the name of the person and the place to which the 
goods are to go; also the route by which they are to be shipped. In the absence of 
such directions we will ship according to our best judgment, and will deliver to rail- 
road or boat, all goods free of charge, but will not be responsible for accidents or 
delays which may occur in transit. 
J®"Tehms oi’ P.iYMKNT. — Casii, or Sufficient guarantee that the money will be 
forwarded on receipt of trees 
For extra large trees and plants above the sizes mentioned, extra prices will be 
charged, and smaller ones lower in proportion. 
Money may be sent by Express, Draft or Post-office Order, at our risk; but it sent 
in any other way, at sender’s ri.sk. 
8^’Agents wanted in every community, to whom a liberal commission will be 
paid. Correspondence solicited. 
|^“Any error of ours in tilling orders will bo eheerrull.v rectified on receiving 
notice, provided such notice be given within ten days from the receipt of goods. 
CAT.A.LOaU3i:. 
J^”In selecting varieties to propagate, we have endeavored to select only such 
varieties as can be profitably cultivated on this Coast, though all may not succeed 
well in any one locality. Experience and observation have taught us that the most 
profitable orchards are those containing but a few choice kinds. It is a great mistake 
to plant a long list of kinds in one orchard. 
J®"A long list of varieties with a very tew trees of a kind, is a provoking curse to 
the nurseryman, and a perpetual curse to the planter. 
APPLE TREES. 
E^Our stock of Trees comprises all the leading and popular sorts, and is unsur- 
passed in vigor, thrift and hardiness. There is so much variation in climaio on this 
Coast that the time of ripening of the several fruits can only be approximately named, 
and some apples that are classed as fall apples would be winter fruit in some locali- 
ities. We would call special attention to our one-year extra apple trees; they are one 
year from bud, on strong roots, and are as large as two-year-old trees. We should 
prefer them to two-year trees to plant. A one-year tree has buds all along the body, 
hence a good head can be secured at any desired height.
