REMARKS 
To My Friends and Patrons Generally: 
I WISH to express my thanks for all past favors and to 
solicit a share of your future patronage. My stock is 
all well grown and young; and though limited in supply 
will be furnished at prices named while it lasts. My lists 
of varieties comprise the leading sorts, and I shall give the 
purchaser his selection as far as possible, but reserve the 
right to myself where not forbidden, and do not have sorts 
named. Where parties forbid substituting, shall fill the 
orders only so far as I can supply the sorts wanted, but if 
possible please give your second choice in case I am out of 
those varieties named as your first choice. Giving my per 
sonal attention to the business, I shall exercise the greatest 
care and endeavor to have all trees, shrubs and plants true 
to name. Yet I do not give any warranty, expressed or 
implied, and in case of any error on my part, it is hereby 
mutually agreed between the purchaser and myself that 1 
shall not at any time be held responsible for a greater 
amount than the original price of the goods. 
Terms: Cash or satisfactory security before shipment. 
Orders to be sent “C. 0. D.’ - must be accompanied with 
one-fourth the amount in cash. 
Reference: First National Bank, Normal, Illinois. 
Prices: Prices herein are limited to the spring of 1907, 
and rule only when the number specified is taken; 5 will 
be furnished at 10 rates; 50 at 100 rates; 500 at 1,000 rates. 
Packing: The prices do not include packing, for which 
I charge moderately; Packing is done mostly in boxes, 
sometimes in bales or parcels, for which I charge only suf- 
ficient to cover cost. For boxes 8 or 9 feet by 21 feet, 
$2.50; 10 feet by 3. feet, $3.50. Smaller boxes in proportion. 
Spring packing usually begins about the middle of March.

Louis or Chicago, payable to the order of GEO. J. FOS- 
TER, or currency by express, prepaid.

My shipping facilities are excellent. Normal, a suburb 
of Bloomington, has the benefit of rates of the latter place, 
both for railroad and express matter. The I. C. R. R. and 
branches, C. & A. R. R. and branches, L. E. & W. , and 
Big Four R. R.’s and American and United States Express 
Companies are all convenient. 
All orders will have my personal and prompt attention.
