BAY STATE NURSERIES, INCORPORATED 
THE PLANTING SEASON 
Transplanting can be done successfully as soon as the frost 
is out of the ground in the spring until early June. Ever¬ 
greens and herbaceous perennials can be successfully trans¬ 
planted until early July. We usually begin to dig about 
March 20th. 
Evergreens may be transplanted successfully during August, 
September and October, herbaceous perennials during Sep¬ 
tember and until the middle of October, and trees and flower¬ 
ing shrubs transplant best during October and November. 
SHIPPING DIRECTIONS 
In ordering nursery stock our customers are requested to 
state explicitly the mode of conveyance by which they wish 
their stock forwarded. We make shipments by express, 
freight, or motor truck. The price for all our material is at 
the nursery and does not include delivery. We can make 
shipment by motor truck at a moderate charge, provided the 
order is large enough to make a truckload. When no route or 
method is designated, we exercise our judgment. In no case 
do we assume any responsibility after packages are shipped, 
except for our own mistakes. When losses occur by detention 
or mishandling, claim should at once be made on the trans¬ 
portation company by the consignee. 
CLEAN STOCK 
In addition to owning one of the finest spraying outfits 
manufactured, we maintain an inspector formerly in the 
employ of the U. S. Government, who attends to the spray¬ 
ing at the proper season and also inspects all stock before 
it is shipped. Our customers are in this way assured of 
receiving clean stock, free from any injurious insect pest 
or disease. A certificate of inspection accompanies every 
shipment. , 
PLANT NAMES 
We have endeavored to list our plants in accordance with 
the names as given in “Standardized Plant Names,” which has 
been officially adopted by the American Association of 
Nurserymen. ; 
If you have difficulty in finding in our price list any varie¬ 
ties you wish, write us and we will give you an immediate 
reply as to whether or not we can furnish them. 
CONDITIONS OF SALE 
1. The articles herein listed will be furnished in accordance 
with the following schedule: 
1 to 4 plants of one kind will be priced at the each rate, 
whatever the aggregate of a list made up in numbers of 5 
plants of a specific sort may be. 
5 to 24 plants of one kind and size will be priced at the 
ten rate. '*1 
25 or more plants of one kind will be furnished at the 
hundred rate, when hundred rates are given. 
FROM THIS SCHEDULE WE WILL NOT VARY because 
of the fact that considerable time is required to assemble an 
order made up of small lots of a kind that are scattered over 
the nursery.
