A Message 
to Our Customers and Friends 
C ONDITIONS in all nurseries of the country 
are greatly improved. Prices of labor and 
material have risen to such an extent that it is 
necessary for us to increase our prices to you, 
but you may be assured that our usual high 
quality has been maintained. We value your 
patronage, and hope to continue to receive your 
orders. Our success depends on pleasing you. 
All orders are filled with this in mind. 
Last summer we suffered one of the worst 
growing seasons of our career. But being for¬ 
tunate in having a late fall and plenty of rain, 
most of our plants are up to the grade we are 
pleased to send out. 
The majority of our customers order from 
us year after year. This gives us proof that our 
plants and service have been up to their speci¬ 
fications. 
A state Certificate of Inspection accompanies 
each shipment, assuring its freedom from insect 
pests and disease. We further guarantee that 
stock supplied shall be true to name, up to 
grade and quality ordered. 
We advise all perennial plants to be shipped 
express, if possible. The Express Companies 
have made a 25% reduction on their rates for 
these plants. 
Terms of sale: Prices are per dozen or hun¬ 
dreds, but will furnish 6 at 12 rate and 25 at 
100 rate. If cash accompanies order, boxing 
and packing free. 
Unknown correspondents must accompany 
their orders with cash, or satisfactory refer¬ 
ence. 
We will in no way be responsible for pro¬ 
ductiveness of stock after it has been satis¬ 
factorily received by you, nor will we at any 
time be liable for more than the original pur¬ 
chase price of plants received.
