BUSINESS INFORMATION 
When We Ship. The planting season is not 
regulated by any particular month or day, but by 
the prevailing weather conditions and the ripeness 
of the stock. We ship when the weather conditions 
are favorable, the usual shipping season extending 
from October 1 to May 1, with a few weeks’ inter¬ 
mission in midwinter. 
Order Early. By all means do not delay placing 
your order until you are ready to plant. The earlier 
orders are placed, the better it is for both you and 
ourselves. Early in the season you are sure to get 
the varieties you select, but later on, when our stock, 
as well as that of all nurserymen, becomes somewhat 
depleted, you may not be able to get the varieties 
you especially desire. We recommend, where pos¬ 
sible., that orders be placed in the fall, whether the 
stock is to be planted in the fall or the following 
spring. Special arrangements have been made 
with our Order Department to reserve stock covered 
by orders until such time as shipment is desired. 
How to Order. Please use the order sheet found 
in the back part of this catalogue, carefully filling 
out the blank spaces at top for shipping directions. 
Be sure to sign your name and give post-office and 
state. If your post-office address is different from 
the railroad station be sure to give both. To avoid 
mistakes, do not write letters on the same sheet as 
orders. 
Application of Prices. The prices given in the 
catalogue for trees or plants apply as follows: 
1 to 4 trees are sold at the each rate; 5 to 49 are 
sold at the 10 rate; 50 to 299 are sold at the 100 
rate; 300 or more are sold at the 1,000 rate. 
Our prices are made to firt the quality of stock 
that we grow; therefore do not confuse them with 
prices on cheap stock. Our stock has the roots, the 
vigor and the vitality which insures its living. It is 
the kind that succeeds. 
Special Prices on Large Orders. Special 
quotations on large orders will be given on appli¬ 
cation. When writing, tell us what varieties are 
wanted, the approximate number of trees of each 
variety and the size. 
Remittances. You may send your remittance 
to us by Post-Office Money Order, by Express 
Money Order, by New York Draft, by Check, or 
in Cash by Registered Letter. Post-Office Money 
Order is preferable to us. Postage stamps will be 
found a convenient method of remitting for small 
amounts, and can be used by us to advantage. 
Make all checks, drafts or money orders payable to 
J. G. Harrison & Sons. Currency or coin must be 
sent by express or registered mail, otherwise this 
company will not be responsible for its safe delivery. 
Terms. Cash with order, or a satisfactory 
reference from strangers. Those having an estab¬ 
lished rating need not send reference. 
Cash Discount. A discount of 5 per cent is 
allowed on orders accompanied by cash. 
To Our Canadian Customers. Please bear in 
mind that nursery stock is not admitted from the 
United States at all seasons. It is admitted in 
spring, commencing March 15, and continuing until 
May 15; and in the fall, commencing September 26, 
continuing until December 1. 
_ How We Ship. Unless we have definite instruc¬ 
tions from you, we will use our judgment as to 
whether to ship by freight, express or parcel post, 
our judgment being based on the size of the ship¬ 
ment, the perishable nature of the stock, and the 
distance it has to travel. Special low rates are 
granted on nursery stock by most all of the rail¬ 
roads and express companies. Parcel-post rates, 
except in a few cases, are too high to be of much 
benefit for shipping nursery stock. (See parcel- 
post rates following price quotations at the head 
of various departments.) 
Transportation Charges. At the prices quoted 
in this catalogue all goods are f.o.b. Berlin, Mary¬ 
land. We do not prepay express, freight or other 
transportation charges, except as noted in con¬ 
nection with parcel-post delivery. 
No Packing Charges. No charge is made 
for boxes or packing, nor for delivery to freight 
station or express office here. 
WE GROW ALL THE TREES WE SELL AND KNOW THEY WILL DO WELL
