General Directions to Customers 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 
PRICES. Our prices are net F.O.B. our Nurseries. When goods are to be shipped by rail, there will 
be no extra charge for delivering the goods to our nearest rail carrier, nor for packing the goods for such 
shipment; except in the case of extra-large or ungainly shaped plants, marked in the Catalog by an asterisk 
(*), for which packing charges at cost will be added. Super-specimen plants, selected by the customer or 
his representative, or specially selected by us at customer’s request, will be priced according to their indi¬ 
vidual values. 
DISCOUNTS. A discount of 5 per cent may be deducted, when full payment accompanies the order. 
TERMS. Our terms are cash. Charge accounts may be opened upon our receiving satisfactory credit 
references. 
C. O. D. SHIPMENTS will be made only on receipt of at least 25 per cent of the purchase price. 
REGARDING GUARANTEE. We guarantee our plants to be healthy and free from injurious insect 
pests; to be dug carefully, and packed properly to reach you in good condition. Complaints on this score 
must be made immediately upon receipt of goods. 
We guarantee our plants to be true to name; 
if they are not we will give you new ones at the 
first proper planting season after their falsity be¬ 
comes apparent, or credit you with the amount 
of the purchase price. In no case do we assume 
liability for more than the purchase price. 
We do not guarantee our plants to live since 
we have no control over them after they leave 
our hands. You can guarantee their success by 
giving them proper care. We are ready at all 
times to answer any questions you may have as 
to their proper culture. If, however, any of our 
plants die and are so reported within three months 
after date of shipment, we will share your loss 
and furnish replacements at half price, the cus¬ 
tomer to bear the cost of transportation and 
planting. 
If you desire to have the plants insured against 
loss, you can accomplish this by the payment of 
a premium at the time of purchase. This prem¬ 
ium will be quoted, if you will state exactly to 
what extent and for what period of time you 
wish to be insured. 
All agreements under this guarantee are con¬ 
tingent on the original bill having been paid in 
full within 30 days after date of invoice.
