CONDITIONS. 
In presenting this my I hirtietIi Annual Catalogue to my many friends and 
customers, who, by their patronage, have made possible the growth of this 
Evergreen Nursery from less than half an acre to nearly Two Hundred Acres, 
I appieciate your patronage, I assure you, and in the future shall endeavor 
more than ever, if possible, to please everyone who may favor me with his 
patronage. 
I his catalogue is my agent. It will not knowingly lie or misrepresent any 
of the goods it describes. You can take it into your confidence and consult 
it thoroughly. If you do not find the desired information, as well as the 
Nursery Stock you want, write to the proprietor, who will promptly and 
cheerfully answer. 
The growing of Evergreen and Forest Trees is my specialty. Unlike 
Deciduous and other trees, 1 have learned by many years of experience, that 
the Root Cultivation of Evergreens in the Nursery is very essential in order 
to insure their living when removed.
