INSTRUCTIONS TO PURCHASERS 
How to Figure Your Order. One to four trees or plants 
of one variety sold at the each rate; 5 to 25 of one variety 
at the ten rate; 25 to 250 of one variety at the 100 rate; 
250 or more at the 1000 rate. 
Orders. Orders should be sent in just as soon as pos¬ 
sible after receiving catalog. By placing orders early you 
are more certain of getting the varieties wanted, as late 
in the season we are often sold out of some of the varie¬ 
ties. If ordered early we can reserve the stock until proper 
time for planting. 
Shipping. We have the Pennsylvania and Reading 
Railroads and can ship in any direction with the proba¬ 
bility of prompt arrival at destination. All shipments travel 
at the cost and risk of the purchaser. 
Truck Deliveries. Truck load orders will be delivered 
free, reasonable distances; long hauls and smaller orders 
delivered by special arrangement. We are well equipped 
to give good truck service. 
Guarantee and Claim. All stock is guaranteed to be 
true-to-name, dug properly, and in good condition when 
shipped. Any tree or plant which is untrue to name will 
be promptly replaced. In case of any error on our part, 
it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and our¬ 
selves that we shall not at any time be held responsible 
for a greater amount than the original price of the 
nursery products.—As we have no control over its care 
and usage after it leaves our hands, we cannot guarantee 
it to live and grow or to give specific results.—We insist 
that all claims for damaged or unsatisfactory stock be 
made promptly. 
Our nurseries are inspected every year and every ship¬ 
ment will be accompanied by a Certificate of the State 
Examiner. 
Planting. Proper planting is important and to this end 
we have developed an organization that is competent to 
handle planting for you at a nominal charge. 
Terms Cash, except when expressly agreed otherwise. 
Substitution. We reserve the right in case we are out of 
a variety, to substitute another of equal merit when it can 
be done,—unless the order is plainly marked NO SUB¬ 
STITUTION. In this case we will fill the order as com¬ 
pletely as possible and refund the balance of remittance, 
if paid in advance. 
Prices. The prices quoted in this catalog are F. O. B. 
our Nurseries except where otherwise noted. They are 
as low as was consistent at the time of printing, consid¬ 
ering wages and ether costs. However, they are subject 
to change without notice. 
Agents. We do not run an agency business, but some 
of our stock finds its way into the hands of dealers, 
florists and agents, and we are noi responsible for their 
prices nor for any promises made other than those found 
in our "Instructions to Purchasers."
