NOTICE TO PURCHASERS 
Money may be sent at my risk by I’. O. money order, exjjress money order, 
check, registered letter, or draft on New York. Sums under fi .00 may be sent in 
one cent stamps. Payment invariably in advance. No order booked nnle.ss accom- 
panied by a remittance as a guarantee of good faith; the balance before shipment. 
At our prices we cannot afford to do a credit business. We give references as to our 
reliability, etc., which all are at liberty to investigate. Gooils sent C. O. I). only 
when one fourth the amount is sent with the order, when charges for returning 
money will be added to the bill. 
Our .stock of plants is warranted true to name. We very seldom make mistakes, 
but if they do occur they are cheerfully corrected without loss to customers, if we 
are notified promptly. 
We commence filling orders as soon as the ground is in condition for digging 
and continue the work as orders are called for. We send out only good .stock in 
good condition, freshly dug and well packed. 
The plants should be shipped as early in the spring as po.ssible. They will go 
through in better condition and when planted make finer growth. Plants are 
packed in the best possible manner, in handle baskets or light crates lined with 
waxed paper and damp moss, with the leaves exposed to the li.ght and air. They 
are trimmed, tied in bunches and labeled, with moss enough between the bunches to 
keep them in good condition for weeks, early' in the sea.son. 
Ra.spberry and blackberry plants can be .sent by frei.ght early in the spring in 
good order at the ])urchaser’s risk Strawberry plants go by mail or express. It is 
alw'ays best to plant three varieties: early, medium and late, .so as to prolong the 
season. 
All varieties of strawberry plants that I offer for sale are growing on my place 
and will be freshly dug at time of shipment. 
Uidess otherwi.se ordered, we ship our jilants direct from here by National Ex- 
press. When ordering plants late in the se.ason, please state whether others may be 
substituted in case any of those ordered are sold out. I can often do this to ad- 
vantage if permitted. 
ESTIIVIATES.-During the busy sea.son making e.stimates consumes too much 
time. This catalogue is priced for the purpose of saving time; onler from it. 
It sometimes happens that we send two catalogues to one addre.ss. Should you 
receive more than one copy please hand the extra one to some friend who would be 
interested in it. 
Plants go for 20 per cent le.ss by express than other goods. Some nurserymen 
will tell you that they have secured a cut rate; this is not the case, all receive the 
same rate. 
Ordering: purchasers are re([uested to use the envelope and order sheet found in 
this catalogue when ordering plants. 
Your name, postoffice and state should be distinctly written and be sure that 
neither is omitted. No matter if you write .several times, always give full name and 
addre.ss.

GUARANTY. 
While we take the greatest care to have all stock true to name, in ca.se any prove 
otherwise we will not be liable for an amount greater than that actually paid us for 
the stock. It never occurred that our stock is untrue — except in one instance where 
we received plants from an introducer not true to name.
