EXPRESS AND PARCEL POST SHIPMENTS. 
For most orders express is the safest and, all things con¬ 
sidered, the best way to have your nursery stock 
shipped. All express orders are shipped collect for 
transportation charges. Many of our small orders are 
now shipped by Parcel Post and arrive in good shape. 
We do not recommend it for any but very small orders, 
however, as it is very expensive on large shipments or 
for long distances. All parcel post orders are shipped 
C.O.D. for exact postage required. In this way, you 
need send us only the exact cost of the stock in your 
order and you pay postman the exact amount of post¬ 
age on your order when it is delivered to you. All 
C.O.D. parcels are automatically insured. 
If the size or weight of the bundle is too great to 
comply with Parcel Post requirements, or contains nurs¬ 
ery stock difficult to handle by parcel post, we reserve 
the right to change the routing to express. Do not ask 
us to send Fruit Trees by parcel post, as in order to 
meet parcel post requirements for length of bundles 
these trees must be cut back so far that they are very 
likely to be injured. If you insist on parcel post deliv¬ 
ery of fruit trees, we cannot be held responsible for 
damage to trees. 
All shipments of nursery stock by express now 
travel at 2nd class rate, making charges about 25% 
cheaper than formerly. 
BARGAIN COLLECTIONS. Cannot be altered, 
divided or changed in any manner. Neither can they be 
shipped C.O.D. for purchase price. They are offered 
for Cash with Order only, and are Priced Net, subject 
to no Cash Discounts. 
SUBSTITUTION. When filling out order blank 
always indicate in space provided whether or not you 
wish us to substitute some variety of equal or greater 
value if we are sold out on any variety in your order. 
We do not substitute unless permission is given. When 
you place your order here you get what you want or 
your money back. 
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. All orders are acknowl¬ 
edged same day received. A carbon copy duplicate of 
your order as we have it entered is sent to you so you

NOTE. Should the United States, or any state, in¬ 
crease by taxes, legislative acts, inflation, or in any 
other way beyond our control, the cost or selling price 
of nursery stock listed in this latalog, we reserve the 
right to add to our quoted prices to cover such in¬ 
crease.
