facilitate the filling of orders. Any other matter 
should he written on a separate sheet of paper. 
Always Give Full Address every time you write. 
This is important. Please write your name and

Terms. Our terms are cash with order. The 
prices are net cash. All prices have been so figured 
and discounts deducted. If we extended any credit 
or opened any accounts, it would be necessary to 
have higher or increased prices. 
Remittances should be made payable to Locke 
L’oteet Nursery, Poteet. Texas, and the best way to 
send them is by Bank Draft, Express Money Order, 
Postoffice Money Order. Money, if sent by regis¬ 
tered mail, is all right. Checks will be accepted 
from responsible parties. 
Reservations of stock will be made when one- 
half of the price accompanies the order. This is to 
iccommodate those who are not ready to plant 
'airly in the season but wish to secure the stock 
before same is sold . 
Shipping Instructions. Customers will please 
state whether they wish their orders to be sent by 
Parcel Post, Express or Freight. Transportation at 
purchaser’s risk, and expense. 
OUR SUGGESTIONS 
Parcel Post. The size limit for Parcel Post is 
<S4 inches in combined girth and length. For this 
reason no tree over four feet high can be sent, 
unless cut back, even if it weights only a pound 
or two. 
Parcel Post Charges have to be prepaid, and for 
this reason money will have to be sent to cover 
cost of postal charges. 
Express. For all shipments up to BOO pounds the 
Express is the most satisfactory, and not any more 
costly than freight. Even in heavy shipments 
Express may cost more but the quicker service pays. 
Freight. For very large and heavy shipments, 
and where quick delivery is not an element. All 
our shipments are so packed that they will carry 
several weeks by freight without injury to stock. 
Express and Freight Shipments can be sent 
“Charges Collect” and such charges are no more 
than if “Prepaid.” For this reason no money has 
to be sent to cover Express or Freight charges. 
Errors and Complaints. We want every order 
to be satisfactorily filled, and the deal is not com¬ 
plete until satisfaction is given. So. if there is any 
error or dissatisfaction we will appreciate it very 
much if you will let us know as soon after receipt 
of stock as possible or not later than five days to 
admit of adjustment. We immediately and cheer¬ 
fully correct any errors of our own. 
It is to Our Interest to send out the very best 
stock possible, true to label, healthy and packed to 
arrive in good condition, and this we will do. But 
as we cannot prevent drouths, freezes, ravishes of 
insects, rabbits, diseases, planting in unsuitable 
soils, or locations, careless or improper planting, 
indifferent or ignorant cultivation, we do not guar¬ 
antee stork to live that arrived in good condition, 
after passing into other hands, or replace any stock 
sold at the prices quoted. 
Insurance. For purchasers who wish their trees 
insured against loss from natural causes, for one 
year, we will upon payment of full purchase price, 
plus twenty (20%) per cent of same, insure such 
purchases. Any loss thus claimed should be reported 
to us at once. 
Substitution. We desire to follow our custom¬ 
ers’ wishes in this respect and have found that 
when our supply of stock ordered is exhausted, our 
customers ordinarily want us to substitute to the 
best of our judgment. We, therefore, substitute 
when necessary, unless instructed to the contrary. 
Please note in specified blank in our Order Sheet 
if you do not wish us to substitute in your order 
and we will gladly refund for shortages, if any. 
Selection of varieties suitable to your locality is of 
first importance to use and our services to you can 
often be of more value, if you leave the selec¬ 
tion to us. 
No Agents. We do not employ any agents or 
salesmen, and have no connection with any other 
nursery. We deal direct with all our customers and 
are directly responsible to them and no one else. 
Service. We are so equipped that we can get out, 
pack and ship most orders the first or second day 
after receipt of order. In some cases on account of 
character of stock, it may take longer. We leave 
most of our stock in the ground and dig fresh as 
wanted, so this takes longer to assemble an order 
than if the stock was all ready “cellared.” There 
is a period of about two weeks late in the spring 
that we are rushed with orders from those who 
wait until the last minute. Under such conditions 
we will do our best to get them out as quickly as 
possible but in order to be fair we will wait upon 
each order in its turn. It is better to order several 
days in advance of time stock is wanted: then we 
will not disappoint you with tardy delivery. 
Shipping Season opens November 1st and closes 
March 15th. We will accommodate late orders after 
March 15tli, if selections are still in stock and not 
too far advanced in new growth. Best months in 
which to plant are November, December, January 
and February. 
Shipping Strawberry Plants begins in September 
and continued throughout the winter and early 
spring months. 
Balled Evergreens can be dug and planted prac¬ 
tically every month of the year. 
What Is B&B and NB? “B&B” indicates where 
the nrusery stock is taken up with the original 
earth in which it grew, by carefully chiseling away 
the soil without cracking or crumbling the dirt, 
which is to remain: then this ball of earth is se¬ 
curely inclosed with strong burlap and pinned with 
special needle-pointed nails, taking up all the slack 
in the burlap. 
“NB” indicates where stock is dug without dirt 
on the roots, but puddled for safety in shipping 
or delivering. 
In planting a balled plant do NOT remove the 
burlap. Cut strings only.
