Shrubs and Trees 
We do not charge for boxing and packing when the stock ordered is less than 3 feet, if the order 
amounts to $3 and more; but for taller stock, and for less than $3 worth, we must charge the actual cost. 
If stock is to be shipped in a box, we must make the box; if it is to be put into a light bale for express, it 
requires not only considerable time, but burlap to cover. 
The charges will cover only actual cost, which will not be over 75 cents per bale, or actual cost for 
lumber and time for making, it a box is required. For stock less than 3 feet long we can buy boxes quite 
reasonably, so that on such orders we do not charge for packing. 
We pack all such stock in such a manner as to insure its reaching its destination in a perfectly fresh 
condition. Though we advise all to plant 
this class of stock as early as possible, 
we have taken up trees in full leaf, ship¬ 
ped them over 200 miles, and every one 
lived. We will not agree to replace stock 
when ordered so late. 
All good, healthy, nursery - grown 
stock. We furnish certificate of inspec¬ 
tion of stock to those who desire it.
