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 
sliipped 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 tlie most dormant condition, and therefore in the best condition for trans¬ 
planting. Oranges and i^omelos can, however, be transplanted earlier in the fall ; also during the 
rainy season of midsummer. Shipments made during tlie summer should always be forwarded by 
express, as freight is too slow and uncertain for the tender condition of trees at that season. 
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 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 contrary, but never until 
the varieties ordered are exhausted ; and in all cases cheerfully refund the money instead of sub¬ 
stituting, 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 he well rooted, well grown, true to name, properly packed, 
and shipped according to instructions. Our liability under the foregoing guarantee 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 days after the receipt of the goods.
