OUR SERVICE 
In. the Nursery trade there has grown up a standard of ethics which is 
observed by all reputable nurserymen, and you are respectfully referred toi 
these terms and conditions when placing your orders: 
THE SHIPPING SEASON generally begins from the first to the middle of 
April in the spring, and about the 15th of October in the autumn. 
EARLY ORDERS—to one familiar with the rush at the packing season, it 
must be obvious that it is impossible to fill an order requiring much time, 
in its preparation on short notice without doing an injustice to others who 
have their orders previously booked. In fairness to all, we have adopted the 
practice of filling orders in the rotation received, unless orders are received 
far enough ahead of the packing season, with instructions to ship at a given 
date, so that we can arrange a special shipping date. So we again say—place 
your orders as far in advance of shipping as you possibly can, stating when 
you would like stock sent. 
REPLACING STOCK—Everyone is familiar with the fact that in the plant¬ 
ing of a tree, the weather and the care afterward have as much to do with the 
tree starting as has the handling beforehand. To make the loss balance we 
agree to replace all stock lost the first year from other causes than abuse or 
neglect at one half the first cost, providing the stock has been paid for when 
it leaves the nursery. 
HOW TO LOCATE OUR NURSERY—Turn off State Street onto South 
Ellsworth. We are one mile out. In coming west on State street, Ellsworth 
crosses at the fourth light. In coming east on State street Ellsworth crosses 
at the first light east of the railroad. 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS—Cash must come with order unless otherwise 
specially agreed upon. Make checks, money orders, or bank drafts payable to 
Cope Brothers & Fultz, Inc. We have arranged to pack all orders free of 
charge and deliver same to transportation company at which time they are 
at the risk of the buyer, and all claims for damage because of delays should 
be presented to the railroad company. 
(0nr O^UUrclUtrr—while we use great care to have our stock genu¬ 
ine and true to label, all orders are accepted with the express under¬ 
standing and agreement with the purchaser, that should any stock not 
prove true to label, we hold ourselves ready upon proper proof to refund 
the money paid for it, or will replace with other stock, but shall not be 
liable to damages other than herein named.
