Please Read Before Ordering 
ORDERS. All orders are accepted by the Elliott Nursery Company subject to the fol¬ 
lowing terms and conditions: 
TERMS OF PAYMENT. Our terms of payment are invariably cash on delivery. This 
does not mean that we ship c. o. d., as we will not do so under any circumstances. We de¬ 
liver the goods and mail bills at the same time, and expect payment within a few days. 
People unknown to us will please send cash or reference with their order. 
PRICES AND PACKING. Prices in this catalogue are made subject to stock offered 
being unsold when ordered, and include all charges for packing trees, shrubs, plants, and 
bulbs. 
Six plants of a kind will be furnished at the dozen rate ; 50 or more at the too rate ; 500 or 
more at the 1,000 rate. Less than 6 plants of one kind or variety will be sold only at the

we can help secure prompt settlement.

SHIPPING DIRECTIONS. Please give exact shipping directions, stating whether the

INSPECTION AND FUMIGATION. Our stock is regularly inspected, and certifi¬ 
cates will be sent with each shipment. Stock will be fumigated when requested or when 
the state laws require it. 
IMPORT ORDERS are taken subject to failure of crops and to restrictions of quaran¬ 
tines promulgated by the Federal Horticultural board. 
NO AGENTS EMPLOYED. From time to time it has been reported to 11s that people 
have represented themselves as our agents in various parts of the country. We employ 
no agents whatever, but do an exclusive retail business direct with our customers. 
GUARANTEE. We guarantee all nursery stock furnished by us to be first class, true to 
name. We do not guarantee the stock to grow, neither do we guarantee the result in any¬ 
way. No complaint will be entertained that is not made immediately upon receipt of stock. 
There are so many causes for failure, over which we have no control, that we can as¬ 
sume no responsibility after the stock is delivered in good order to the transportation com¬ 
pany. Poor soil, changeable weather, ignorant or careless culture—all contribute to failure. 
A catalogue as comprehensive as this must of necessity offer some varieties of difficult 
culture; when these are ordered we presume the people ordering have the knowledge need¬ 
ed for that culture. Successful gardening requires knowledge, enthusiasm, and persever¬ 
ance, and these we cannot supply. 
PLEASE PRINT YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS on your order. Many times it is ex¬ 
tremely difficult to read these two important parts of an order, and the shipment may go 
astray. •
