1. This liet is intended for Nurserymen, Landscape Gardeners, Florists and 
Dealers in Nursery Stock. Parties unknown to us, when writing for Trade Lists, 
should use printed stationery, or enclose business card, so that we may know they are 
entitled to receive the list. We do not send Wholesale Lists to gardeners on 
private estates. 
2. The stock herein offered ip strictly first-class in all respects, all nursery grown 
and every tree, shrub, plant and vine, has been transplanted, all shade trees twice, 
all evergreens three times. 
3. We will supply five at the ten rate and fifty at the hundred rate; but we 
cannot furnish long lists of varieties, two or three of a sort, either at the hundred 
or ten rates. 
4. We commence shipping usually about April 1st, continuing until about the 
20th of May. 
6. Most varieties of evergreen can be transplanted with safety in August or 
September 
6. We never substitute unless authorized to do so by the purchaser. In case we 
are sold out of the variety ordered, the customer is notified at once. 
7. To avoid misunderstanding, purchasers should be careful in ordering to state 
the size, 1 to 2 ft., 2 1-2 to 3 ft., 3 to 4 ft., etc., just as noted in list. 
8. Purchasers will please give explicit shipping directions. State in all cases 
whether you want your goods by freight or express. When no special mode of 
conveyance is mentioned, we will forward according to our best judgment, but we 
canDot assume any responsibility after the goods are delivered to the forwarders. 
9. We pack carefully in boxes and bales, using damp moss to protect the roots, 
for which a charge will be made sufficient to cover cost. 
10. Terms cash, except to reliable parties we are glad to allow until June 1st on 
Spring bills and December 1st on B'all bills. All Spring bills remaining unpaid June 
1st and Fall bills December 1st will be subject to sight draft without further notice 
unless special arrangements are made. 
11. We will not ship any stock, or accept orders from unknown parties without 
cash in advance, satisfactory reference or security of some sort. On receiving 
orders from parties who have no commercial rating, but accompanied by reference, 
we will at once communicate with the reference, and if satisfactory reply is received, 
tu e plants will be shipped. 
12. We will not send goods by express C. O. D. unless twenty-five per cent, of 
the amount of order accompanies same as a guaranty. 
13. All claims for deficiencies or errors of whatever nature should be made 
immediately upon receipt of stock, so that the same may be rectified without delay. 
14. Freight or express charges will be prepaid when so directed and the amount 
added to the bill. We will ship stock on the day specified, if possible, but it will help 
us greatly to have a few days’ notice before the goods are to be shipped. Early 
orders are always preferred.
