Please Read Before You Order 
REMITTANCE. — Remit by Money Onler, Registered Letter Draft, orCheck. 
Postage stamps (i and 2 cents) for the fractional part of a dollar will be accepted. 
TERMS. — Cash with the order or before shipment. 
EXPRESS. — All plants will be shipped directly over the lines of the National 
and American Express companies unless otherwise ordered. 
SHIPMENT. — I prefer not to ship plants after May 25th for after that day 
stock sent so late will not prove satisfactory. The shipping season here usually be- 
gins from the first to the tenth of April. 
PRICE OF PLANTS. — The prices quoted are net and the least at which they 
can be grown and placed on the market. 
EXTRA PLANTS. — Lor cash orders received before May first I will add 
extra plants, the larger the order the more plants, to help pay the express. 
PACKING. — My plants are carefully dug and thoroughly trimmed, tied in 
bunches of twenty-five and packed in the best possible manner in light crates or bas- 
kets, with no extra charge to the purchaser, and delivered to the Express Company’s 
Office, Afton. , , 
GUARANTEE. — We guarantee that all plants ordered sent by mail or Ex- 
press before May 1st shall reach their destination safely. If any fail to do so or if 
any mistake has been made we stand ready to rectify the error or make good the 
loss, if notified promptly. 
LIABILITY. — While we take the greatest care to have all stock true to name, 
in case any shall prove otherwise, we will not be liable for an amount greater than 
actually paid for the stock. It practically never occurs that our stock is untrue to 
name except in one instance where we received plants from an introducer not true 
to name. 
SUBSTITUTING. — When we are sold out of a variety ordered, we can fre- 
quently substitute others to the advantage of the purchaser, if permitted to do so. 
On orders received before May 1st we do not do this unless given express permission 
to do so; on orders received after that date, however, we retain the right to substi- 
tute where necessary unless expressly forbidden to do so. 
ADDRESS. — It sometimes happens that we send two catalogues to one address. 
Should you receive more than one copy please hand the extra one to some friend 
who would be interested in it. 
MAIL ORDERS.— Your name, postoffice and state should be distinctly writ- 
ten, and be sure that neither is omitted. No matter if you write several times, 
always give full name and postoffice address. 
A Certificate of Inspection of Nursery Stock will accompany each shipment of 
plants. Mail orders we make a specialty and it is our aim to send the same grade of 
plants by mail as by express.
