We do not like to send goods C. O. D. unless at least one-fourth the amount of money Is 
sent In with the order. We however, vary this rule with old, tried and tru^e customers. In any 
business, however well conducted, there will be mistakes made In the height of the busy 
season when everybody Is over-worked. If anything Is wrong about your order, write us 
fairly and decently about It and we will see that It Is adjusted. Abusive and threatening 
letters do not count here. We will adjust all differences where we are to blame and in many 
cases when we are not to blame. It must be remembered that transportation has been rotten 
for the past few years but Is now Improving. We do not agree to replace plants, etc., that 
die, unless It can be proven that we are at fault. Only the concern that sends out agents and 
charges several times the price we ask can afford to* do this. More plants and trees are lost 
due to the Ignorance and carelessness of Inexperienced planters than from any other causey 
We endeavor to send out only good stock, but when It reaches the customer, It is not always 
In the best of shape, but In nine cases out of ten can be saved with proper care. DO NOT 
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REFUSE A SHIPMENT FROM US. Take It and do the 
best you know how and let us know all about It and we will endeavor to make things rIghL. 
The nurseryman or seedsman who advertises that he never has a shipment go wrong or never 
gets a complaint is either not getting many orders or Is a born Mar, 
Agents For Berry Plants 
We employ no sslaried agents to sell Berry Plant* 
or other good* for us, and If any person represent* 
himself as such you must have nothing to do with 
him, If he is a stranger or an unreliable person. We 
have no objection to people taking orders for os hat 
thej' must (Jo It on their own responsibility. To re¬ 
liable parties who will go among their friends and 
neighbors to solicit orders for plants, we will give 
eur best and lowest rates for large quantity ship¬ 
ments. We do not and cannot, however, allow a 
certain commission below catalogue rates. Our 
prices are too low to admit of this. If you order 
good* from u* at lowest 1,000 rate* and sell out te 
your customers at dozen and hundred rates, It 
makes a pretty fair commission. It Is sometime* 
possible, wbon we have a surplus, to quote even 
lower price* than are listed here, on large orders. 
Better write us.

Do Not FaB To Read This 
Some who receive th’s catalogue have never 
ordered plants or other goods of us, although we 
have been sending the catalogue to them for sev¬ 
eral years. We take It for granted that such peo¬ 
ple are not Interested in our line of goods and 
merely sent for the catalogue in the first place 
through curiosity. We have decided to go over 
our books and cut out all names of parties who 
never order goods of us, supposing that they are mot 
interested. If you are interested, even though you 
have not ordered, and are liable to order In the 
future, please let us know and we will put your 
name on our mailing list to receive catalogue and 
other literature In the future. We do not wish to 
cut off anyone who is truly interested.

Farmer’s Famous Essay 
"The Proper Handling of Small Fruit Plant*" 
The Duty of the Nurseryman and Planter. 
By L. J. Farmer, iSilaMkl, N, Y. 
In June, 1913, Mr. Farmer crossed the continent 
and delivered this address before the American As¬ 
sociation of Nurserymen at Portland, Oregon. It 
covers the whole subject from the time the plants 
are dug In the fields until planted by the grower. 
Bvery Nurseryman and Piult Grower should read 
this essay thoroughly. We are convinced that In 
many cases It would give Information that would 
put hundreds of dollars Into the pockets of soms 
peoc>Ie by practicing what It recommends. Thirty 
years in growing and shipping plants, growing and 
shipping berries and other details are not learned 
In a day. We have several thousand copies printed 
of this essay and will mall a copy to any person 
for only 10 cents, coin or stamps.
