To Our Friends and Patrons 
W© thank thoae who have so generously patronized us during the thirty-nine years that we 
have been doing business and hope for a continuance of your patronage. 
The year 1922 finds the average planter in need of many things such as trees, shrubs, plants, 
vines, etc., to beautify and adorn as well as make more useful their suburban or country home. 
During the late war we were told to plant more vegetables and annual farm crops. The people 
responded with an enthusiasm never before known. As a result the fruit trees, berry bushes and 
plants were neglected, and allowed to go to waste and ruin. We now find ourselves face to face 
with an actual shortage in bearing fruit trees, berry plantations and the like. What is true of 
fruits is also true of ornamentals. There Is now an unprecedented demand for all kinds of ornamen¬ 
tal shrubs, plants and vines as well as fruit trees and berry plants. 
We wish to say to those who are in need of fruit or ornamental trees, plants, etc., that we 
were never better prepared to supply your wants than we are now. While prices are still com¬ 
paratively high on account of the general shortage due to wage.s and other conditions, we have 
reduced prices in most lines materi^y and added to our varieties and stocks so that now we have 
a most complete line. We make a specialty of supplying everything needed to plant about the 
home grounds, the fruit garden and orchard. Patrons find it more economical and convenient to 
order everything they need for planting from one house Instead of several, and we are catering 
to their wants. If you don't see what you want listed in this catalogue, let us know and we can 
generally supply It and savs you naonev as well as time and worry. Please feel free to write us 
your wants.

der, Registered I,etter. Bank Draft or Personal Check. You can deduct the fee charged from your

Plants True to Name, Substitution, Etc. 
We exercise the greatest care to have all trees, plants, etc., true to name, unmixed, etc. 
However, If for any reason they piove otherwise, we st.'ind ready to refill the order without charge or 
refund the original price paid for the goods. It is mutually understood between ourselves and the 
planter that we are not to be held responsible beyond this. We also exercise the right, should we 
run short of any particular variety, to substitute another variety in its place, unless particularly 
Instructed by the patron not to do this. 
Handy Shipping Packages 
We use the greatest care to have all packages used in shipping goods by rnali, express or 
freight as strong, light and dependable, as possible. Small shipments of plants by parcel post are 
packed in strong manilla j^aper reinforced by cardboard to prevent injury to the plants. Larger 
shipments are packed in market baskets, and still larger shipments by express and freight, are 
packed In crates, boxes and barrels We believe that our system of packing .small fruit i»lant.«? Is 
unsurpassed. 
Orders by Parcel Post C. 0. D. Postage 
We find the parcel post most efficient, especially for small packages of plants and trees that 
oan be cut back. The limit of weight Is 70 lbs. to the third zone, which Includes places anywhere 
within 300 miles of Fhdaski. The limit of weight to all other zones above the third, is 50 lbs. 
within the territorial limit.** of the United States. The limit of weight to foreign countries varies, 
lockages by parcel post are also limited In size. The size Is determined by the length and girth 
or circumference, which must total not over 84 Inches. For instance, a package of trees can 
measure 24 inches around and five feet long and yet come within the limit of size. Packages of 
plants can be .sent by parcel post C. O. D. for the postage, anywhere within the limits of the United 
States but not to Canada and other foreign countries. The advantages of sending by C. O. D. pos¬ 
tage is that the patron pays Just the actual cost of postage. It is true that the cost of the 
G. O. D. Is 10 cents and for returning the postage to the sender about 3 cents more, total 13 cents. 
But this is well worth the cost, a.s the package 1 s practically insured against loss. We used to 
have a number of packages stolen from the malls every year. Since the Inauguration of the 
G. O. D. parcel post, we do not average to lose one package a year, so please humor us by ordering 
your goods sent by parcel post C. O. D. postage, wherever this Is practicable. When patrons are 
short of mone 5 \ at the time they wish to order they can send part cash with the order and the 
balance can be collected at time of delivery either by parcel post or express 
Plants for Canada and Foreig^n Countries 
Strawberry and vegetable plants c«in be sent into C’anada at any time of the year by parcel 
poet or express. Only small packages of plants can be sent by mall and the postage must be pde’- 
pald. This is true of all foreign countries. All other trees, shrubs and vines must be sent by ex¬ 
press or freight. Gurrant and gooseberry plants can be shipped into the Province of Ontario, 
but to no other place in Ganada. We advise having raspberry and blackberry plants, etc., and fruit 
trees shipped early, as the fumigation places in Ganada close May 1st to 15th. Strawberry plants are 
not subject to fumigation hut must be .sent in small packages of not over 4 lbs. and 6 ozs., if sent 
by mall. Plante to England and other countries of Europe, can be sent in the regular shipping 
season of spring and fall: but we advise late fall and early winter shipments to Japan. Australia. 
New Zealand^, South Africa and South America. 
About Currant and Gooseberry Shipments 
We are r)rohiblted from making shipments of Five I..eaved Pines, currant and gooseberry 
plants to an\ point west of the Mississippi River except to the states that border on its west 
bank. If tin patrsn wishes currant or gooseberry plants from us. we can have them shipped to 
him from growers of the Pacific Goast. but they cannot come from our nursery or any other 
eastern n'’>aery. There are also other states quarantined against shipments of currant and 
gooseberry ninnts from New York and other eastern states. This Is on account of the fear of the 
menace of the White Pine Blister—Rust.
