PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLACING ORDERS 
SHIPPING SEASON begins in Spring, when frost 
leaves the ground, usually March 15 to June 1. August 
planting of Specimen Evergreens—Rhododendrons, Kal- 
mias, Leucothoes, Conifers and many Bulbs and Herba¬ 
ceous Plants—has proved most successful, general stock 
going out again from September to December. 
Shipping Instructions should be given, otherwise we 
use our best judgment but assume no risk. All ship¬ 
ments travel at purchaser’s risk, and carriers must be 
held liable for any damage in transit. All stock be¬ 
comes the property of the purchaser on delivery to 
transportation company or carrier. 
PRICES are made to fit the quality of the stock 
shipped. Discriminating buyers now realize that the 
greatest value of nursery stock is underground. Fre¬ 
quent transplanting and handling specimens with ade¬ 
quate burlapped balls, means success and quick results. 
It costs more, but it is the fixed policy of Harlan P. 
Kelsey, Inc., and “cheap” stock will not be handled or 
sent out. The best is always the cheapest. 
SPECIAL SELECTION. Stock specially selected at 
Nursery or ordered by mail will be charged at advance 
prices to fit the value of the stock selected. The prices 
in this catalog cover the average good grades as they 
run in the nursery row. 
TRUCK DELIVERY. Where the size of order war¬ 
rants, there are distinct advantages in auto-truck 
delivery for distances up to 50 miles, and we make 
large deliveries up to 250 miles. Stock arrives quickly 
and just when wanted, and is delivered fresh on the 
grounds, saving local trucking and unpacking. Charges 
are made according to size of truck and distance 
traveled. 
PACKING CHARGES. At prices printed in this cat¬ 
alog, boxing, balling and burlapping is free, except 
where small sizes of deciduous stock is balled and 
burlaj)ped by special request. In such cases a charge 
to cover cost is made as follows

charge will be made to cover cost.
