of the bill to apply on freight charges , at our discretion. Prepayment of transportation charges 
applies only to shipments forwarded by freight, or such shipments as will go by express as 
cheaply as by freight. All shipments are forwarded by freight, unless the nature of the order 
requires that it go by express, or purchaser requests express shipment, in which case goods will 
be forwarded collect, purchaser paying charges at his end of the line. In such cases the amount 
that freight would have come to, if shipment had been forwarded by prepaid freight, will be 
returned to purchaser. 
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.—Our shipping season begins in November and continues until 
March. Our trees and plants are nearly all open-ground grown, and during the months above 
named are, generally speaking, in the most dormant condition, and therefore in the best condi¬ 
tion for transplanting. Oranges and pomelos can, however, be transplanted earlier in the fall; 
also during the rainy season of midsummer. Shipments made during the summer should 
always be forwarded by express, as freight is too slow and uncertain for the tender condition 
of trees at that season. 
C. 0 . D. Shipments.—Trees ordered sent C. O. D. (collect on delivery) must be accom¬ 
panied by one-half of the amount of the bill. 
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. 
Extra Fine Specimens.—We have nearly always on hand a limited number of extra-sized 
trees that are not in sufficient quantity to quote in regular price-list. Anything we have in 
extreme sizes will be quoted upon specific inquiry as to kinds wanted. 
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. 
IN WRITING ORDERS, buyers ivill oblige us and facilitate prompt execution by using the 
Order Sheet to be found in this Catalogue. Whether this is done or not , the following information 
should be given fully and in detail: Post-office address in full , including county and state. Point of 
destination , if different from post-office address. If post-office and shipping address are the same , 
state this fact. Name route by zuhich goods should be shipped , if there is any preference , and they 
zvill be marked and billed according to instructions. State whether shipment by freight or express. 
Order Early.—Too much stress cannot be laid upon the importance of ordering early. 
Large stocks in certain varieties are sometimes entirely booked before the shipping season opens , 
and before the shipping season closes numerous varieties run short. By ordering early, cus¬ 
tomers secure just such sizes and varieties as they want. 
Selecting Varieties suited to locality is of the first importance, and can often be more 
advantageously done by ourselves than by purchasers. We are always glad to aid our cus¬ 
tomers 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 of Varieties.—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 ordered are exhausted. We, therefore, substitute, unless instructed to the con¬ 
trary, but never until the varieties ordered are exhausted ; and in all cases cheerfully refund the 
money instead of substituting, if so requested. 
Proper Labeling. — Everything sent out is plainly marked with best quality of printed 
labels attached with brass wire. 
We Guarantee all stock sent out to be well rooted, well grown, true to name, properly 
packed, and shipped according to instructions.
