READ CAREFULLY BEFORE 
PLACING ORDER 
JN presenting this condensed catalog and planting guide, we have eliminated the botanical 
names as far as possible and have tried to present it to the layman in an easy, understand¬ 
able manner. We trust you will find it of benefit and will save the catalog for future reference. 
At the prices for which we sell our stock and the services we render, we cannot afford to 
issue an expensive, profusely illustrated catalog but prefer to give you the most in nursery 
stock for your money.

delivered to the transportation company in good order, after which our responsibility ceases. 
We assume no responsibility for failure due to after conditions over which we have no control.

refund not more than the original purchase price.

+ + + ♦ 
By sending full amount of cash with the order, as the balance C. O. D. entails a fee to the 
express company, or a U. S. money order, which the customer pays, you save expense both 
to yourself and to us. It often happens that the truck lines will deliver to your door, but it 
also happens that sometimes the shipment is made to the nearest collecting agent, and in 
some cases this is a considerable distance from you. 
DISCOUNT—A 5% discount will be allowed for full amount of cash with the order. 
SHIPMENT—Trees up to 4/6 feet in height can now be shipped by Parcel Post as allow¬ 
ance on the size of packages has been increased to 100 inches in length and circumference. 
However, 6/8 feet, or 2 year old trees, cannot go by parcel post without cutting them back too 
severely. Shipping season is from November first to April first, depending upon the season. 
PLEASE NOTE—Because of expense in packing, we cannot afford to ship orders for less 
than $1.00 unless paid in full at placement of order. 
Information on spraying and general care for best results, other than what is given herein, 
entails so many problems that limited space does not allow us to go into details. However, 
this information will be gladly furnished by your nearest Experiment Station or Agricultural 
College with the latest data. 
For your information, 4 to 6 ft. or 3 to 4 ft. fruit trees are budded or grafted on two-year 
roots, top one year except where noted; walnuts on three-year roots. We recommend these 
sizes the best under general conditions; older trees, when properly cut back and receive a little 
special care in the way of watering and cultivation, may prove the quicker to produce fruit, 
and are most suitable for city or small plantings. Ornamental stock is sold according to size, 
not age.
