■^SANTAI ROSAS NURSERIES.

^Transplanting directions. 
In, presentingethese instructions to our patrons, we would earnestly request 
that they give the most careful attention to the details. They have been com¬ 
piled with a view to make them as simple as possible; and having fulfilled our 
part of the contract by delivering first-class stock in good condition, also giving all- 
necessary instructions how to care for it, if any of our customers should lose a 
portion of their stock, the fault cannot be on our side. We allude to this because 
years of experience have taught us that the public lose nursery stock because, 
they neglect it; and we have taken the precaution to send a copy of our Transplant¬ 
ing Directions to every customer, so that none may claim that they do not know 
how to plant and care for their stock. 
We guarantee to deliver the stock in good condition, and could we plant and 
care for it for the first three months, would willingly insure the growth of every 
tree and shrub sent out. We seldom ever lose a plant, even when we import 
them from Europe or Japan, and the stock is out of the ground for many weeks. 
Very few of the people pay any attention to transplanting directions. Anything 
that has to be cultivated in the earth can no more live without nourishment and 
care than a human being.!
