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 station and shipment has to be prepaid,

OUR TREES are Clean, Healthy, Hardy and Thrifty. 
Finest grown. It is an established fact that in no other part 
of the country do fruit trees attain the perfection of those 
grown in Rochester and vicinity. Not one Nurseryman in a 
thousand buds or grafts his own trees as we do. Our trees 
are grown and cared for by men who have been in our employ 
from 25 to 30 years. They know how and do turn out the 
finest fruit trees possible. Our stock is all first class of the 
different sizes as specified. We do not handle any second 
class trees. All poor trees or culls go into the brush 
heap. Our trees are inspected by state authorities every 
year, and an official certificate of their freedom from disease 
accompanies each shipment. 
OUR GUARANTEE—We exercise care to have our stock 
genuine and reliable, and hereby guarantee that if all, sub¬ 
stantially all, or any part of stock delivered does not prove 
true to name as ordered, we will replace it free of charge, or 
refund the money paid for it, that being the measure of 
damages for a breach of the contract. 
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 unsatisfactory service to our patrons. 
IF WE PLEASE YOU, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. IF 
NOT, TELL US.

COLLECTIONS—We cannot make any change in our 
collections, for they are selected and bundled before our M 
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 SUBSTITUTION —In filling orders from this catalog 
we reserve the right, in case we are out of a variety, to sub¬ 
stitute another of equal merit when it can be done (always 
labeling with correct name), unless the party ordering says 
"No Substituting," in which case we will fill thp order so far 
as we can and return the balance. All heavy trees in large 
amounts should be sent by freight, as charges are so much 
less, and our perfect packing admits a long journey without 
injurt. to the trees. Always give full and explicit shipping 
directions, as our responsibility ends on delivery of trees in 
good condition to the freight or express office. 
Digging trees at Green’s Riga farm. We use 10 teams—20 horses—on our tree digger. Plenty of power like this enables us to keep 
the blades of the digger down deep in the soil. This insures plenty of strong fibrous roots.
