fat content, color and plumpness of the kernel. A fertilizer containing 
6 per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 4 per cent potash 
is a well balanced fertilizer to supply the demand of the nut tree on 
most soils. Fertilizers should be applied in early spring, shortly before 
or about the time the trees put out buds. It should be applied on the 
surface of the ground in a band around the tree extending out to about 
the tips of the limbs. Cultivate the fertilizer in the soil or where the tree 
stands on the lawn apply the fertilizer before a rain or wash it in the 
soil with water. 
TERMS 
Our business is strictly cash. You may pay any amount you want 
on early orders and send the balance due on order when trees are 
wanted. A small deposit with your early order will insure your getting 
the trees you want. For C. O. D. orders send 25 per cent cash with 
order and balance will be shipped collect. 
We guarantee all trees sent out to be of the size and quality 
specified, but we cannot possibly guarantee positive results with our 
trees after they leave our hands. If we would guarantee to replace 
trees that did not grow for some reason or other the trees would gener¬ 
ally be neglected for this very reason. The prices of the trees would 
have to be advanced to take care of this loss of careless planting and 
neglect. We are careful to see that all trees sent out are well grown, 
true to label and in condition to grow, but since we have no influence 
over conditions surrounding the trees or over their planting and care, 
after they pass out of our hands, we cannot assume responsibility for 
any customers' losses resulting from failure to make the trees grow for 
any reason. If customers receive trees from us which are not satis¬ 
factory in every way they should advise us at once. Otherwise the 
transaction will be considered as closed. 
CANADIAN SHIPMENTS

Agriculture at Ottawa. Add 10% to the cost of trees as all shipments 
must be packed in new burlap making the cost extra for packing. Every 
shipment must be inspected by an official inspector from our State De¬ 
partment of Agriculture. No orders accepted for less than $5.00.
