I shall always endeavor to give each customer full money value, whether the order is large or 
small, and in all eases where customers feel that they have reason to complain, I shall thank 
them to inform me of it. If the fault lies with me, 1 will be glad to make matters right. 
It must be distinctly understood by the purchaser of these goods that while I use my utmost 
care to have all plants of strong and healthy growth, and seeds of germinating quality, and both 
true to name, 1 will not in any way be responsible for the failure of any, and if they cannot 
be accepted on these terms they must be returned within five days. So much depends upon 
the care such plants have and the season following the planting, that I feel that my responsibility 
must end when the plants have reached the purchaser in good, healthy condition. Thousands 
of plants die each year for want of proper setting and care until established. A little extra 
pains in preparing the soil, shading and watering the plants until the roots get established, is 
.worth all it costs. 
Remittances may be sent at my risk by post office order on Charlotte, Vermont, by draft 
or registered letter. Half a dozen plants will be furnished at dozen rates. To those who wish 
to purchase in larger quantities, lower prices will be given, if my stock is sufficient. 
Those who wish to talk with me by telephone can usually find me at home at 12.30 and 6.30 
p. m. during the shipping season. Messages can be transmitted by private wire to the office at 
any time. 
Parties who wish to visit the nursery should plan to come during June, July or August. These 
months offer the best time for seeing the plants.
