Our Reputation Was Built On 
QUALITY PRODUCTS 
QUALITY SERVICE 
SATISFIED CUSTOMERS 
While holding to that Reputation, we have 
succeeded in gaining another for 
LOW PRICE 
Our policy is to sell our products for the lowest 
possible price. By putting them within reach of 
the average home-owner we increase our volume 
of business to such an extent that low prices are 
possible. 
GUARANTEE 
We guarantee our plants to be true to labeled 
name, and agree to re-supply free f. o. b. nursery 
any that may prove to be otherwise, if we are 
notified as soon as this can be determined. In no 
case shall our liability be greater than the ori¬ 
ginal purchase price. 
LIFE OF PLANTS: Any plants sold at retail 
prices and planted in the ground by the customer 
according to our directions which die from causes 
other than abuse or neglect the first season (when 
reported to us within one year from the date of 
planting) will be re-supplied once at one-half 
purchase price or credited on new selection, f. o. 
b. nursery, provided the original account is paid 
promptly. If we are employed to do the planting, 
and plants fail to start growth, such re-supply¬ 
ing will be done free of charge, f. o. b. nursery. 
If they start growth and later die, the half-price 
will be charged.
