Terms and Inforinatioii 
OUR GUARANTEE— We guarantee that all 
goods purchased from us will be as repre¬ 
sented, true to name, and prove entirely 
satisfactory upon arrival. We grow our 
Evergreens by the best known methods. 
We transplant our trees and root prune 
them at proper intervals to develop a 
fibrous root system. Our trees are dug 
and handled by men of long experience. 
Many conditions over which we have no 
control govern results that you may have 
with Evergreens, such as watering, plant¬ 
ing site, proper planting, soil conditions, 
injury, or severe adverse weather con¬ 
ditions. There is, therefore, no guarantee 
on the growth of the trees. 
ADJUSTMENT —Any errors or omissions in 
the filling of the orders will be satisfac¬ 
torily adjusted if we are notified promptly 
upon receipt of shipment. 
DELIVERY CHARGES —The prices quoted 
in this catalog are the prices for the trees 
F.O.B. Dundee. Freight or express 
charges are at customer’s expense. In the 
absence of definite shipping instructions 
we will use our best judgment, shipping 
by parcel post, express or freight. Small 
trees not balled and burlapped usually can 
be sent by express. Balled and burlapped 
stock can be shipped either by express or 
freight. We always try to ship by what¬ 
ever method serves the customer’s interest 
best. Arrangements may also be made to 
deliver by truck at reasonable expense to 
nearby customers.

pronounced when trees are properly fed 
using this food.

pound per foot in height of tree, example: 
2- foot trees, 1 pound fertilizer. 
3- foot trees, 1^ pounds. 
4- foot trees, 2 pounds. 
Larger trees in proportion.
