GLEN ST. MARY NURSERIES. 
o 
Terms, Cash, with order, or if order is placed sometime in advance of ship¬ 
ping season (which commences about December 1st) a prepayment of 25 per cent, 
of the amount with the order, and the balance when trees are ready for shipment. 
Early Orders. — We would impress upon every one the advantages to 
be gained by ordering trees as early as possible. This is something upon which too 
much stress cannot be laid. If ordered early, customers are much more certain of 
securing just such stock as they want, both in varieties and sizes, than they are if 
orders are delayed till late in the season. Large stocks of certain varieties are some¬ 
times entirely booked before the shipping season opens, and before the season closes 
numerous varieties run short, even in the largest nurseries. By setting out trees at 
the commencement of the shipping season the ground has time to settle around the 
roots during the winter; they become well established in their new position, and are 
in the best possible condition for making an early and vigorous growth the ensuing 
spring. 
Guaranteeing Trees. — We guarantee all trees shipped from these nurse¬ 
ries to be true to name, of good, healthy growth, and well rooted; that they shall be 
packed in the best possible manner, and shipped according to instructions of pur¬ 
chaser. After being properly packed and shipped we assume no further responsi¬ 
bility, except to aid in tracing them, if by any means they should be delayed in 
transit. 
It is also mutually understood and agreed between the purchaser and ourselves 
that we shall in no case be liable for more than the original cost on any trees that 
should accidentally prove untrue to name. The utmost care and vigilance, however, 
is exercised that no mistakes may occur, and, to the best of our knowledge and belief, 
none have ever yet occurred in any trees shipped from these nurseries. 
Claims. —If, by any possibility, errors should occur in tilling orders, they 
will be promptly rectified, provided the claim is made within ten days after the re¬ 
ceipt of the goods. 
Trees by Mail. — The labor and time required to properly prepare trees for 
mailing during the busy season, together with frequent insufficient remittances for 
postage, are inadequate to the returns, and compel us to respectfully decline this 
class of orders, except on very small sized trees, and where the order is accompa¬ 
nied by fifteen cents on the dollar extra for postage. 
Execution of Orders. —Unless instructions are received to the contrary 
all orders will be filled as soon as possible after the opening of the shipping season. 
In order to facilitate their proper execution, please bear in mind the following sug¬ 
gestions : 
Post-Office Address. — Give this in full, including both County and 
State. 
Point of Destination. —It sometimes is the case that the shipping ad¬ 
dress is different from post-office address. In all cases be explicit in relation to 
both. 
Route. —Name the route (if you have any preference) by which goods 
shall be shipped, and they will be marked and billed according to instructions. 
Freight or Express. —Always say whether you wish trees forwarded by 
freight or express. 
Remittances. — In order to be at our risk , remittances should be made by bank 
draft on New York or Jacksonville, Prepaid Express, Monei/ Order on Jacksonville Post- 
Office, or Registered Letter. 
No Traveling Agents. — We wish it distinctly understood that we em¬ 
ploy no Traveling Agents, and that we only hold ourselves responsible for trees pur¬ 
chased direct from the nurseries. Trees sold to nurserymen and dealers must be 
resold by them upon their own responsibility.
