BAY STATE NURSERIES, INCORPORATED 
PLANTING SEASONS 
SPRING SEASON — Begins as soon as the frost is out of the 
ground, usually about March 20. Continues until early June, al¬ 
though Evergreens and Perennials can be successfully planted until 
early July. |Early planting, however, is preferable. 
FALL SEASON — Evergreens can be transplanted from early 
August to late November; Perennials during September and October; 
Deciduous Trees and Shrubs from mid-September to late November. 
In their respective planting periods, the earlier parts are preferable 
— ORDER EARLY. 
PLANT NAMES 
We have endeavored to list our plants in accordance with the 
names as given in “Standardized Plant Names,” which has been 
officially adopted by the American Association of Nurserymen. 
If you have difficulty in finding here any varieties you wish, write 
us and we will immediately advise you whether or not we can 
furnish them. 
PLACING ORDERS 
Orders may be sent to either our office at North Abington, or to 
Framingham, as you may prefer or find more convenient. 
In filling orders we shall select the best material from both nur¬ 
series. Frequent truck service is maintained between the two ship¬ 
ping headquarters, bringing to each place any particular items from 
the other establishment required for filling orders. 
SHIPPING DIRECTIONS 
In ordering nursery stock our customers are requested to state 
explicitly the mode of conveyance by which they wish their stock 
forwarded. We make shipments by express, freight, or motor truck. 
The price for all our material is at the nursery and does not include 
delivery. We can make shipment by motor truck at a moderate 
charge, provided the order is large enough to make a truckload. 
When no route or method is designated, we exercise our judgment. 
In no case do we assume responsibility after packages are shipped, 
except for our own mistakes. When losses occur by detention or 
mishandling, claim should at once be made on the transportation 
company by the consignee. 
CONDITIONS OF SALE 
1. The articles herein listed will be furnished in accordance with 
the following schedule: 
1 to 4 plants of one kind and size will be priced at the each 
rate. 
5 to 24 plants of one kind and size will be priced at the ten rate. 
25 or more plants of one kind and size will be furnished at the 
hundred rate, when hundred rates are given. 
FROM THIS SCHEDULE WE WILL NOT VARY because of the 
fact that considerable time is required to assemble an order made up 
of small lots of kinds that are widely separated over the nursery. 
2. We make no charge for packing retail orders, except on very 
large evergreens and large shade trees, or other ungainly-shaped 
plants. On orders other than retail, packing will be charged extra 
at cost. 
3. We give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to quality, 
description, productiveness of any nursery stock that we sell. The 
only guarantee that we make is that our stock is alive at time of 
shipment and true to name. No complaints will be considered that 
are not made forthwith upon receipt of order. Any stock ordered 
from this list found untrue to name, will be cheerfully replaced at 
the first favorable opportunity for planting, after it has been found 
not as ordered. 
4. Super-specimen plants, selected by the customer, or by his 
representative, will be priced according to their individual values. 
TERMS 
Our terms are cash. Charge accounts, for 30 days credit, may be 
opened upon receipt of satisfactory credit references — allowing us 
time for investigation. All accounts unpaid after due date will be 
subject to sight draft without further notice. C. O. D. express ship¬ 
ments will be made (with collection charges added to the bill) only 
when order is accompanied by a deposit of at least 25 percent of the 
amount of the bill. 
DISCOUNTS 
A discount of 5 per cent may be deducted when payment in full 
accompanies the order. Charge accounts are subject to a discount 
of 2 per cent if paid within 10 days after date of invoice.
