GENERAL INFORMATION AND 
SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS 
Substitution. We do not substitute unless you request us to do so. It may be advisable 
to name a second choice when ordering late in the season, as the stock of some varieties 
may have become depleted, otherwise we will return your money. 
Terms. We require a small deposit with order, unless parties are known to us, balance 
before shipment. Make remittance in the form of check, express or postal money order. 
Send no currency unless by registered letter. 
C. O. D. We will ship roots C. O. D. in which case the customer pays the charges. 
No plants are sent C. O. D. as this causes delay. 
Responsibility. We guarantee our product to be true to name and to reach you in 
good growing condition, but will in no way be responsible for the crop. In case of 
error on our part we will gladly replace or refund the purchase price of any article, 
that does not prove true to name. It is mutually agreed between the purchaser and 
ourselves, that we shall not at any time be held responsible for a greater amount than 
the original purchase price of the goods. Failures are generally due to causes beyond 
our control, such as weather, soil conditions, bad planting. 
Errors. All errors or omissions will be satisfactorily adjusted, if we are notified upon 
receipt of goods. 
Our Policy is to grow the best stock we know how, and of the finest varieties in 
existence. To fill each order with the best roots and plants it is possible to produce 
in order to give each customer the satisfaction he has a right to expect.

amounting to $2.00 or more. On orders amounting to less than $2.00 add 25c. to 
cover the postage. On plant orders include 25 c. if you want them shipped special delivery.
