DIRECTIONS 
GUARANTY. I guarantee my stock true to name, with the explicit 
understanding that, should any prove untrue, I will return the money 
paid or replace it with other stock; but I will not be responsible for 
an amount greater than the purchase price. Certificate of inspection 
is attached to each shipment. 
ALL PLANTS POSTPAID. At the prices quoted, all plants will be 
sent by parcel post, postpaid. On a few items I have also quoted 
prices by express not prepaid. 
PRICES. 6 of any variety will be supplied at the dozen rate; 25 at 
the hundred rate; and 250 or more at the thousand rate. Less than 6 
of any variety will be sold at the each rate only except where a 3-price 
is given; less than 25 at the dozen rate only; and less than 250 at 
the hundred rate only. 
SAFE ARRIVAL OF PLANTS. I guarantee the safe arrival of all 
plants and roots sent by parcel post or express to all points in the 
United States. Should anything be injured in transit, I urge my cus¬ 
tomers to notify me at once on receipt of the goods, and in every 
case send me a list of what has been damaged so that I can replace 
them without delay. But when they arrive in good condition, my 
responsibility ceases, and if, from inattention or other causes, they 
fail, and complaint is then made, I cannot replace them. 
PACKING. Plants are packed carefully and everything is labeled. 
SUBSTITUTION. I reserve the right in case I am out of any 
variety, to substitute another of equal merit when it can be done 
(always labeling with correct name) — unless the party ordering says 
"No Substituting”. When it is desired that I shall not do this, it must 
be stated in the order. To simply affix the words "No Substituting” 
is all that is necessary. 
TERMS OF PAYMENT. Cash with order or before goods are 
shipped. I do not ship goods C.O.D. All orders are acknowledged as 
soon as possible. Money may be sent by P. O. Money, Express Money 
Order, Check, Draft or Registered Letter. Stamps may be sent for 
amounts under ^1.00, but be sure and send three-cent stamps, wrapped 
in waxed paper.
