rates, and want the name of your express office as well as your post office, whether the order is 
sent by post or not. These estimates by post may not always be exact, but when an excess of 
postage is sent I will either make up the deficiency in plants or return the excess. Where prices 
by mail are not given, it is understood that the plants are too large for mailing. 
The prices for seeds include postage. 
I shall always endeavor to give each customer full money value, whether the order is large 
or small, and in all cases where the customers feel that they have reason to complain, I shall thank 
them to inform me of it. If the fault lies with me, I shall 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, I 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. 
Remittance 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 large 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 oflice 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. During shipping seasons we cannot give 
visitors the attention we would like to.
