IT PAYS TO PLANT 
QUANTITY ORDERS 
Articles mentioned in this catalogue will be furnished as follows: 5 of a 
variety at the 10 rate, 50 at the 100 rate, 300 at the 1000 rate. To illustrate: 
One each of Baldwin, Delicious, Gravenstein, Lawver, Red Astrachan, making 
five in all, would entitle the purchaser to the 10 rate on apples. If an order 
called for five varieties of apples, as mentioned above, 1 Muir Peach, 1 French 
Prune, 1 Royal Apricot, 1 Bartlett Pear, 1 Washington Navel Orange, the 10 
rate would apply on the apples, but the each-rate on the assorted trees. Pur¬ 
chasers will please bear in mind that the quantity rates apply only where mul¬ 
tiples of the same variety of tree is ordered and not on assortments. As an 
extreme case, 300 apples, one of each variety, would entitle the purchaser to 
the 1000 rate just the same as if the order consisted of 10 varieties of 30 trees 
each; if, however, 100 apples, 100 peaches, 100 pears, 100 plums, 100 nectarines, 
100 apricots, 100 cherries, 100 walnuts, 100 oranges, and 100 persimmons were 
ordered, the 100 rate would apply on each item. 
TERMS AND REMITTANCES 
All of our stock is sold for cash, unless other arrangements are made. Remit¬ 
tances can be made to us either by post office or express money order, regis¬ 
tered letter, bank draft, or check. It often happens that our customers find it 
more convenient to send us a personal check on their local bank and such 
checks will be accepted for collection. 
On all orders placed in advance we ask that a 25 per cent deposit be for¬ 
warded with the order and we will then reserve the stock for shipment at any 
time designated by the customer. 
CLAIMS AND LOSSES 
All claims for mistakes in filling orders must be reported to us within ten 
days after the receipt of the goods. When shipments are delivered by us to 
carriers in good condition we cannot hold ourselves responsible for loss or 
injury. All customers are requested to keep their shipping receipts, as it is 
sometimes necessary to file claim with the Railroad Company or other carriers 
for damage or delay in transit and the original shipping receipt must be filed 
with such claim. 
We do not guarantee stock to live nor do we make up any loss due to 
climatic effects or after culture on the part of the purchaser. It is understood 
by and between ourselves and the customer that we will exercise care to have 
all stock true to name; nevertheless, it is understood and agreed that should 
any stock prove untrue to name we shall be liable only for the sum paid for 
the stock which may prove untrue to name and shall not be liable in any 
greater amount. 
We accept all orders on condition that the same shall be void should injury 
befall our stock through fire, frost, floods, drouth, or any other cause which 
could not be prevented and over which we have no control.
