TO OUR CUSTOMERS 
LOCATION. Our nursery is in Haverhill, Mass., on the main road from Haverhill to 
Boston. It is within five minutes’ walk of Ward Hill station on the B. & M. R. R , 
and also of the bus line from Haverhill to Ward Hill. Our post office address, and 
freight and express address, is Ward Hill, Mass. 
HOURS. We dig and deliver plants on week days only, from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M., but the 
nursery is open for inspection evenings and Sundays also. 
VISITORS. We welcome visitors to the nursery at any time. Throughout the season, 
from April to October, there are plants in bloom, and especially in Iris, Peony, and 
Phlox times there is a brilliant display. When Peonies bloom we have a special exhi¬ 
bition of cut blooms indoors so that comparison and selection of varieties can be 
made conveniently. 
SHIPPING SEASON. Although some plants can be moved successfully almost any 
time between spring and autumn, the normal planting and shipping season is from 
early April to early June, and September 1 to the middle of November. German 
Iris can be shipped in July and August. 
SHIPPING. All plants and bulbs are shipped by express or parcel post, the purchaser 
paying the charges. Many small orders can be sent more economically by parcel 
post, and if the purchaser wishes his order shipped by parcel post he should add 
10 per cent or more to the price of the plants. 
Local orders within a 6-mile radius will be delivered by truck without charge. For 
longer distances, up to 30 miles, truck delivery is advisable for trees and shrubs, for 
which a reasonable charge will be made. 
PRICES. The prices quoted on herbaceous plants include packing, but an extra charge 
is made for packing and boxing trees and shrubs. Five plants of the same variety 
will be sold at the 10 rate; 25 at the 100 rate. 
TERMS. Our terms are cash with order, or satisfactory reference from unknown cus¬ 
tomers. All accounts are due the first of each month. 
GUARANTEE. We guarantee that plants are true to name, and are delivered to 
customers in good live condition. Any complaints of plants received in poor con¬ 
dition must be made at once. We do not guarantee plants to live or grow, their 
future life being entirely the risk of the purchaser. 
It is our earnest endeavor to supply only good healthy plants which, if handled, 
planted, and cared for under favorable conditions will live and bloom, but failure 
may occur from many causes over which the nurseryman has no control—-unsuitable 
location, poor soil, unfavorable weather, lack of moisture, ignorant or careless 
culture. In case of any mistakes on our part, we shall, if promptly notified, be glad 
to correct them. 
FALL BULB LIST. In September, we issue a supplement to this Catalogue, listing 
Tulips, Hyacinths, Crocuses, Scillas, and other bulbs for fall planting.
