DELIVERIES. Free to freights, expresses, and mails. 
WARRANTY AND REPLACEMENT. We use the greatest care 
in following instructions, and our intention is invariably to send 
out only first-class plants and seeds, true to label, well packed, and 
in good condition, addressed as directed and delivered to such 
transporting company as directed. Here our responsibility ceases. 
We gladly rectify errors or claims if made upon receipt of goods, but 
cannot be liable for more than the purchase price. The prices 
are not made to cover a possible second shipment. They are the 
lowest statement of value of one shipment of first-class trees. 
It is humanly impossible to guarantee the growth of plants, since 
so many causes, known and unknown, can injure or kill them. 
If exposure or drought, poor planting, bad weather, accident, or 
other causes kill plants bought of us, we cannot in fairness be 
held responsible. Claim for delay en route should be taken up 
with the transporting company. We cannot replace the plants 
without cost. 
PLEASE ORDER EARLY — so that we can satisfy you with good, 
prompt service (not rush work). The shipping season is limited. 
Orders must be filled in succession as received; justice requires this. 
WE GUARANTEE TO SUPPLY FINE PLANTS, 
SHIPPING SEASONS. 
In Fall: August rpid September for Evergreens. About October 
1st for Hardwoods. Shipping continues until the 
ground freezes. See opposite page for notes on fall 
planting. 
In Spring: From middle of March to about June 1st. The 
planting season is determined by the condition of trees 
to be planted. So long as they are dormant they may 
safely be transplanted. It is safe to ship plants to 
Southern localities later than would be supposed, 
because vegetation in Massachusetts is dormant later 
than farther south.

PLEASE GIVE SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS — using enclosed 
order blank for convenience. 
Kindly state: 
1. Address for marking the shipment. 
2. Address for mail. 
3. Shall we forward by freight? express? parcel post? 
4. Approximate time when shipment shall be made. 
In the absence of instructions, we shall use our best judgment. 
Our responsibility, of course, ceases upon delivery to the trans¬ 
portation company. 
TRANSPORTATION COSTS are paid by the customer. 
We advise the use of quick transportation modes. 
The low special express rate on trees, plants, and seeds is 20 per 
cent less than on regular merchandise; express companies 
occasionally overlook this. 
The new Parcel Post regulations permit much more extensive use 
of the mails than has been possible up to this time. 
WE SHIP trees: Dug upon order (not cellared or “heeled in” stock). 
Bundled in convenient sizes of 25, 50, or 100 plants, 
and usually a few more for good measure. 
Packed at once in the moist air of a thoroughly 
modern packing cellar. 
Delivered promptly to the transportation company. 
WE IMPORT NOTHING, thereby avoiding unacclimatized, devita¬ 
lized, dried, or mouldy stock, and the insect and fungoid infection 
usually attaching to imported stock. 
INSPECTION CERTIFICATES of the United States Department of 
Agriculture and the State of Massachusetts Entomological De¬ 
partment accompany each shipment and assure healthy, clean 
stock. 
RATES. We sell 500 or more trees of the same size and species at 
the thousand rate; between 50 and 500 at the hundred rate; less 
than 50 at the ten rate.
