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. Should the variety be exhausted, 
we at once notify the customer. In case the size ordered is exhausted, we send the 
next size thereto and charge accordingly, unless otherwise advised 
THE PLANTING SEASON 
EVERGREENS can be successfully transplanted during August and Septem¬ 
ber. 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 CERTIFIC ATE OF INSPECTION accompanies every shipment.
