Special Interesting Information for Old 
and Prospective New Patrons 
We have been growers and shippers of good nursery 
stock for considerably over 50 years,—we have served 
our patrons in a very satisfactory way (see a few of 
many unsolicited testimonials in this insert and in 
catalog in which this insert is enclosed.) 
We plan to continue this satisfactory service if en¬ 
trusted with your orders, be they small or large. 
We deeply appreciate the good words received from 
pleased patrons. We aim to merit the enviable reputa¬ 
tion acquired and beg to assure you of our unflagging 
interest in your behalf. 
We have no cheap stock, but we gladly quote lower 
prices than shown in catalog on considerable or quan¬ 
tity lots. For instance, if you are planning to set 300 
or more of any variety of raspberries, blackberries, 
currants, gooseberries, etc., we would quote you con¬ 
siderable lower prices than those shown at per 100 
prices. 
We call attention especially to fruit tree grades— 
that we have these in three or four sizes and heights,. 
If the heaviest stock at the printed prices appear too 
costly for your pocket book, why not consider the lower 
sizes? These are all first class in their grade, and 
many planters consider these just as good and the 
price is much lower. 
We are prepared to quote sensational low prices on 
these medium and smaller sizes and lower prices on 
the first grades in quantity lots. 
As to Roses, all the varieties of Hybrid Tea Ever- 
blooming, Polyantha and Climbing (Ramblers) found 
listed in the catalog are priced for heavy 2-3 year, No. 
1 grade but we have a lighter grade of 2 yr. that can 
be booked and shipped out at considerable lower price. 
These are good bushes well furnished in roots, stocky 
and well worthy of your consideration. All the Ever- 
blooming and Polyantha class should bloom well the 
first blooming season, the Ramblers whether first grade 
or the medium, generally do not show much bloom until 
the following year. 
Also Note: that we offer in shrubs in addition to the 
heavy 2-3 ft. (or better) a smaller grade for Parcel 
Post shipment at a less price. These generally are very 
pleasing and in many instances produce blooms the 
first season. 
Your order whether for stock to amount of 25c for 
an order by parcel post, or more, or for an order for 
$2.00 or more by express or freight, will have our best 
attention and we solicit your list of wants for special 
lower than catalog prices. 
NO AGENTS. Our business is secured from cata¬ 
logs, price lists and by correspondence. We have no 
agents. Should any one soliciting your order intimate 
that they are selling for us, this is your assurance that 
their claim is fraudulent. We sell direct to you at the 
lowest possible price, and thus save you agents’ com¬ 
mission. Recently a nursery agent sold a bill of stock 
to one who had not seen our catalog, collecting $15.00, 
our delivered prices for the same bill of stock in the 
same varieties and of like sizes, would have been exact¬ 
ly $7.00. 
C. O. D.—If you have not dealth with us before, and 
have any doubts as to the order being filled, as you 
desire, if you send M of the amount when ordering, 
we will ship, CASH ON DELIVERY, the balance. This, 
on account of collection charges, will cost you a trifle 
more, but if it will please you, it surely will please us.
