INFORMATION FOR CUSTOMERS 
THIS CATALOG IS OUR ONLY SALESMAN 
In presenting this 41st edition of our catalog we extend 
thanks for your past patronage and assure you and all cus¬ 
tomers prompt and careful attention to all inquiries and 
orders you may favor us with. 
ORDER EARLY—The earlier the better. Our orders arc 
shipped in rotation as received—First come, first served. 
If it is necessary that an order be shipped on a specified date, 
make a note on the order and we wall comply with the request 
if possible. 
IIOW TO ORDER—Please make out your order on de¬ 
tachable order sheet in back of catalog. Follow directions 
‘‘HOW TO ORDER" in order sheet as closely as possible. 
Sign your name plainly and be sure to give postoffice, rural 
route, street address, express or freight station, county and 
state. Always state sizes of trees desired. Send Payment 
with order. All orders are acknowledged immediately 
mpon receipt. Be sure and give definite directions for ship¬ 
ment. If left to us we will forward according to our best 
judgment, but in all cases our responsibility ends on delivery 
of stock in good condition to the freight or express office. 
Two addresses on an order are liable to make confusion. If 
you live in New York City and want trees sent to another 
man or name in New Jersey or any other state make this 
very plain. 
SHIPPING SEASON—Our regular shipping season opens 
in the spring about March 15th and in the fall about October 
15 th. 
ABOUT SUBSTITUTION—In filling orders from this 
catalog, we reserve the right, in case we are out of a variety, 
to substitute another of equal or greater merit (labeling with 
correct name). If you do not wish this done, write plainly 
"no substitution," and we will then fill the order so far as we 
can and refund the balance. 
OLTR TERMS—Cash, postoffice money order, bank 
draft, express money order or check sent with order. 
IIOW TO REMIT — By check, bank draft, express money 
order, postoffice money order or registered letter.

rates. 
10 (or more) of one variety at 10 rates. 
50 (or more) of a kind (as 50 apples, 50 plums), if not 
composed of less then 10 of any one variety, at 100 rates.

not less than 10 of any one variety) at 100 rates.

We sell 50 (all of one variety) at half the 100 price, and 
500 (all of one variety) at half the 1,000 price. 
PACKING—We do not charge for packing, boxing or 
delivering to freight or express companies. We do not prepay 
any charges, unless goods are to be delivered to a prepaid 
station, as all our prices and quotations are Free On Board 
cars at our nurseries. If you have no agent at your sta¬ 
tion and shipment has to be prepaid, notify us and we will 
prepay and bill charges to you after shipment. 
OUR GUARANTEE—We exercise care to have our 
stock genuine and reliable and hereby guarantee it to be in 
good condition when shipped. Our agreement with every 
purchaser is as follows: if any stock purchased proves untrue 
to name or label, we will replace the same or refund the 
purchase price upon due proof of the error, and in case of 
error on our part, the purchase price shall be the measure of 
damages and all stock is purchased and sold upon that 
understanding. 
SPECIAL PRICES ON LARGE ORDERS—Special 
quotations on large orders will be given on application. 
When writing tell us what varieties are wanted, the number 
of trees of each variety and the size. 
IIOW TREES ARE GRADED—All varieties do not grow 
to the same height. For instance, the XXX trees of Bis¬ 
marck and Shiawassee Beauty, which are slower growing 
varieties, will average about 5feet, while the same grade of 
Wagener and Winter Banana, which are faster growing 
varieties, will average 6J to 7 ft. Our small fruits such as 
grapes, currants, etc., are graded according to age and size, 
the usual grade we offer being strong two year bushes. Our 
ornamentals vary in age, depending upon the rapidity of 
growth, and are graded according to height only. 
NO EXPRESS OR FREIGHT ORDERS FOR LESS 
THAN SI.00 ACCEPTED — Inasmuch as it costs us just as 
much to pack and prepare small orders as it does large ones, 
and inasmuch as the prices we ask are so close to the actual 
cost of production, we cannot afford to fill orders amounting 
to less than SI.00 which are to be shipped by Express or 
Freight. 
BY PARCEL POST (see back pages). We can fill orders 
amounting to 50 cents or more. 
COLLECTIONS — We cannot make any change in our 
collections, for they are selected and bundled before our 
busy shipping season, and the valuable time saved by doing 
this makes it possible for us to offer these collections at such 
a reduced price. No collection offers of past year or years, 
and no former (old) price list orders accepted. New prices 
only acceptable. 
OUR RESPONSIBILITY — See any commercial agency, 
banker or postmaster at Rochester. Our trees are sold by 
pleased customers recommending us to their friends. We 
cannot afford to give unsatisfactorv service to our patrons. 
IF WE PLEASE YOU, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. IF NOT, 
TELL US. 
CLAIMS must be made without delay when the goods 
are received. There are contingencies in tree planting as in 
everything else, which make it impossible for us to guarantee 
that eyery plant or tree will grow. The planter must take 
some risk. We do not allow claims for delay or loss during 
shipment. Transportation companies alone must be held 
responsible if they are delayed. We will send you good, live 
vigorous and healthy trees and plants, fully up to grades and 
sizes specified in our catalog, and will pack very carefully. 
If it were possible for us to do all the planting, pruning, select¬ 
ing of soil, and the giving of after care and attention, and had 
we also control over climatic conditions, we would gladly 
replace everything that did not live, but not having control 
over these things, we feel that our responsibility ought to 
cease when we make delivery to transportation company in 
first-class condition. We will do our part, and then if you 
give them ordinary care and attention they will live and be a 
source of pleasure and profit.
