FRAMINGHAM NURSERIES 
QUALITY OF STOCK 
The stock offered in this list is strictly first-class, and, we believe, absolutely 
free from all injurious insects or diseases. We aim to keep our Nurseries clean, 
so that the stock is healthy and vigorous. We invite inspection. Visitors are 
always welcome. See back cover for location of Nurseries. 
SUBSTITUTION 
We never substitute one variety for another. In case the size ordered is ex¬ 
hausted, we send the next size thereto and charge accordingly. Should the var¬ 
iety be exhausted, we at once notify the customer. 
THE PLANTING SEASON 
EVERGREENS can be successfully transplanted during August and Septem¬ 
ber. HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS do best when moved during September and 
before the middle of October. DECIDUOUS TREES and SHRUBS can be safely 
planted any time after October 1st until freezing weather sets in. 
SHIPPING DIRECTIONS 
Parties ordering are requested to state explicitly the mode of conveyance 
by which they desire their stock forwarded. 
When no route is designated, we exercise our judgment; but in no case do 
we assume any responsibility after packages are shipped, unless for our own mis¬ 
takes. When losses occur by detention, claims should at once be made on the 
TRANSPORTATION COMPANY. 
CERTIFICATE OF INSPECTION 
Our nurseries are inspected every year by the State Nursery Inspectors, and a 
copy of the CERTIFICATE OF INSPECTION accompanies every shipment. 
CONDITIONS OF SALE 
First —The articles on the following list will be furnished at the annexed prices 
only when the quantity specified shall be taken. Five hundred will be

Third—The prices annexed do not include the boxes or bales. A charge is

charge made for same. We make no charge for conveyance of shipment to the 
freight stations or express offices. 
Our terms are cash, unless by special agreement. We can ship by 
express C. 0. D., when desired, with charges for collection added to the
