Please order early for prompt shipment. 
Shipping instructions should be written very 
plainly. 
DELIVERIES 
Express shipments normally arrive promptly 
and in good condition. For carload quantities 
and heavy shipments, however. Freight Ship¬ 
ment is best, unless the distance permits ship¬ 
ping by Motor Truck, which is most strongly 
recommended. We ship by motor truck 150 
miles, occasionally further. Prices for truck 
delivery given upon application. 
We deliver free to transportation companies 
and our responsibility ceases upon such de¬ 
livery. Shipments travel at customer’s risk. We 
do not pay transportation charges unless price 
is so quoted. 
Packing. Packing evergreens, shade trees 
and other heavy plants as noted, for rail ship¬ 
ment, is charged extra at cost. No extra charge 
for packing retail orders for other items. 
Evergreens, unless otherwise noted, ever¬ 
green shrubs and a few other plants are ship¬ 
ped with roots in a ball of earth securely tied 
in a burlap, at no additional charge. 
Lower Rates on Quantity Orders. We sell 
500 or more trees of the same size and kind at 
the thousand rate; between 50 and 500 at the 
hundred rate; 5 to 50 at the ten rate; less than 
5 at “each rate.” Half dozens are charged at 
the dozen rate. 
Our Terms are Cash with Order. Post Office 
and Express Money Orders should be made on 
Framingham. Send cash in registered mail 
only. Charge accounts can be opened only if 
satisfactory references are furnished. C.O.D. 
orders must be accompanied by one-half cash. 
Inspection Certificates of the United States 
Department of Agriculture and the State of 
Massachusetts Agricultural Department ac¬ 
company each shipment and assure healthy, 
clean stock. 
SHIPPING SEASONS 
Our improved methods allow safe shipping 
practically the year round except in midwinter. 
Especially for customers within easy trucking 
distance there need be no hesitation in ordering 
at any time save deep winter. 
The usual seasons for shipping nursery stock 
by rail are: 
In Fall. About the middle of August for 
Evergreens, continuing through November. The 
first of October for Hardwoods and Shrubs, 
continuing until the ground freezes. Evergreens 
for pots, tubs, etc., are shipped until Christmas. 
In Spring. As soon as the frost leaves the 
ground (usually about the middle of March), 
continuing until June, for Evergreens, De¬ 
ciduous Trees and Shrubs, Vines. Roses and 
Gladioli bulbs, etc., shipped March until June. 
Planting time is determined not by the state 
of vegetation where the planting is to be done, 
but by the condition of the stock to be planted. 
So long as the plants are dormant or in 
movable condition they may safely be trans¬ 
planted. We can ship to southern localities 
much later than would be supposed, because 
vegetation in Massachusetts is dormant much 
later.
