special care in digging and packing, using only the best 
material to insure trees reaching customer in best possi¬ 
ble condition, and ask you to give them a little extra care, 
for which they will reward you in the future. 
WHEN TO ORDER 
Early ordering of trees is advised. Orders placed well 
in advance of shipping season, will be shipped on any 
date requested, weather permitting, while those placed 
during rush season are sent out in the order they are 
received. 
A liberal discount will also be allowed on advance 
orders, as these are a saving to me in advertising and 
correspondence during rush season. 
Also by placing order in advance you are sure of 
being in time to get the size and varieties wanted, as 
later, stock of some kinds is ofte n exhausted. 
WHEN TO PLANT 
Nut trees may be planted either Spring or Fall. I 
usually start shipping in Spring as early in March as 
weather will permit and continue until about the first of 
May, though would advise those ordering, especially from 
south of here, to plant by middle of April. 
Fall shipping starts as soon as leaves are off in Octo¬ 
ber, and is continued, until cold weather.
