Olen Saint Mary Nurseries 
Terms of Business 
Location. Our Nurseries are one and one-half miles southwest of Glen Saint Mary, Baker 
county, Florida, a station on the Seaboard Air Line Railway, thirty miles west of Jacksonville. 
Long Distance Telephone and Western Union Telegraph office in our office. 
Glen Saint Mary is our freight, express and telegraph station. 
Invitations to Visitors. We take pleasure in showing our stock to persons wishing to pur¬ 
chase; and, if notified in time, will meet visitors at the station on arrival. 
No Agents. —We employ no agents, and have no connection with any other nursery. Trees 
sold to dealers must be resold by them upon their own responsibility. We are responsible only to 
parties purchasing direct from our Nurseries. 
Club Orders.—Neighbors can sometimes club together and have one of their number place 
orders for all, thus often securing lower prices on account of large number of trees ordered. 
Minimum Orders. —We do not care to accept orders amounting to less than $2. 
Applying Prices.—Five, fifty and five hundred trees of one class, at ten, hundred and thou¬ 
sand rates, respectively, purchaser’s selection from varieties of one fruit having a common price. 
For instance, fifty or more peaches, in one or more varieties, would come at the hundred rate, and 
five hundred or more at the thousand rate. The foregoing does not apply to badly assorted orders, 
or to long lists made up of a few each of many varieties. 
Terms Gash with order, if for immediate shipment. Orders for trees to be held for some weeks 
after the shipping season opens should also be accompanied by full payment. On orders booked 
in advance of the shipping season 25 per cent down, with the balance due when the shipping season 
opens. We do not care to ship trees C. 0 . D. 
Remittances.—To secure safety and prompt acceptance, remittances should be made by 
Bank Draft, Express or Post Office Money Order, Registered Letter or Prepaid Express. 
Method of Shipment. — Shipping directions should be plainly written, and we urge our cus¬ 
tomers, in all cases, to use our order sheets. We shall be pleased to forward additional ones upon 
application. Kindly indicate whether shipment is to be made by freight, express or mail. When 
method of shipment is left to us, or when no directions are given, we will ship according to our best 
judgment, by such means as we believe to be in the best interests of our customers. 
Our stock is well and carefully packed in paper-lined boxes and bales. For this, no extra charge 
is made, and neither time nor expense is spared in packing the trees in such shape that they will 
open up in good fresh condition. 
Transportation at Purchaser’s Risk and Expense.—All transportation charges are to be 
paid by the purchaser, and our responsibility ceases upon delivery, in good order, to forwarding 
companies; claims for losses or damages must be made upon the latter. We will, however, start 
a tracer for delayed shipments, if notified, and use every means at our command to secure prompt 
delivery, or recovery in case of damage or loss. 
Shipping by Mail.—-In ordering trees or plants for shipment by mail, add 15 per cent to the 
list price on the smallest size given, to cover cost of packing and postage. We cannot guarantee 
trees to come up to size specified in list, as only very small specimens can be sent in this way. 
Time of Shipment. -Unless instructed otherwise, orders received during the shipping season 
will be forwarded as soon after their receipt as possible, and orders booked in advance will be shipped 
as soon as may be after the shipping season opens. 
The Shipping Season.—November to March for all trees and plants. Citrus trees can, how¬ 
ever, be shipped at any season of year, but summer shipments must be by express. 
Selecting Varieties suited to locality is of the first importance, and can often be more advan¬ 
tageously done by ourselves than by purchasers. We are always glad to aid our customers in their 
selections, when so desired, and will, upon request, cheerfully furnish additional information in regard 
to the adaptability or desirability of particular varieties. 
Substitution.—We desire to follow our customers’ wishes in this respect, and have found 
that they generally wish us to substitute, to the best of our judgment, in case any varieties or sizes 
ordered are exhausted. We, therefore, substitute when necessary unless instructed to the contrary. 
Printed Labels attached with brass wire to everything sent out. 
We Guarantee all stock sent out to be well-rooted, well-grown, true to name, properly packed, 
and shipped according to instructions. Our liability under the foregoing guaranty is limited in 
amount to the original price received. . 
Claims.—If, by any possibility, errors should occur, they will be promptly rectified, if claim 
is made within ten davs after the receipt of the goods.
