OUR GUARANTEE 
All goods are guaranteed to reach you in good condition; mis¬ 
takes, if made, will be promptly rectified. Accept shipment, ex¬ 
amine and count on receipt and notify us at once should there be 
any errors, and the carrier as well, if any damaged stock. This 
guarantee not good unless above requirements are complied with. 
We do not guarantee continued growth. Remember, a tree, shrub 
or plant is a living organism, as much as a cow, horse or man. 
It breathes, drinks and feeds, and is liable to attacks. 
SHIPMENT— We commence to ship about March 10, weather be¬ 
ing favorable and shipping season lasts until May 25th. We ship 
order any week you designate in your letter, weather being favor¬ 
able. We have every means at hand to have your stock reach 
you in the best condition. 
CLAIMS —All claims for shortage must be made inside of ten 
days after goods are received. If stock is not satisfactory com¬ 
plaint must be made at once. No attention will be paid to claims 
received months after the goods have been received. 
HOW TO ORDER —Use order sheet in catalog or any ordinary 
writing paper. Be sure to sign your full name and address, writ¬ 
ing plainly as possible. If Express or Freight orders are to be 
sent to some other place than your Post Office be sure to give 
directions in space provided on order sheet. 
Stock listed as “Postpaid” in this catalog will be sent by pre¬ 
paid parcel post. Other stock is sent by Express or Freight, not 
prepaid by us; this stock is, as a rule, too heavy for Parcel Post 
but we have reduced our prices on Express and Freight items so 
that the customer, after paying express or freight charges on a 
shipment get the benefit of the saving and this more than pays 
charges in most cases. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY —Remittances may be made by postal 
or express Money Order, Draft, or Check. If cash is sent use 
registered letter. Postage stamps accepted only in payment of 
orders less than one dollar (lc and 2c stamps preferred). 
CLUB ORDERS— It is best to order all your wants at one time. 
This will save you time in handling and planting. If your wants 
are few, have one or more of your friends or neighbors join with 
you in ordering. We will tie and tag each person’s order separate¬ 
ly and bundle all together in one package and ship to whatever 
address you desire. 
FOR PLANTS ORDERED BY PARCEL POST— On Strawberry, 
add 12c per 100; Raspberry, add 15c per 25; Perennial and Rock 
Plants, add 10c per 12.
