rate, whatever the aggregate of a list made up in 
numbers of less than 5 plants of a specific sort may be. 
5 to 24 plants of one kind and size will be priced 
at the ten rate. 
25 or more plants of one kind will be furnished at 
the hundred rate, when hundred rates are given. 
FROM THIS SCHEDULE WE WILL NOT VARY 
because of the fact that considerable time is required 
to assemble an order made up of small lots of a kind 
that are scattered over the nursery. 
We make no charge for packing retail orders, ex¬ 
cept on very large evergreens and large shade trees. 
WE GUARANTEE our plants to grow and will re¬ 
place all sold retail that fail to thrive within one 
year from date of purchase, with the following under¬ 
standing: That the bill is to be paid within one 
month after the stock has been received and that 
our planting suggestions, as outlined in this catalogue, 
are followed. The customer will be expected to as¬ 
sume a small delivery charge. If the planting was 
carried out by us the customer is to pay for delivery 
and planting at cost. If we do not have the tree or 
trees of question in stock, other plants with the same 
expenditure are to be selected from our nursery. We 
assume no responsibility for trees we transplant that 
belongs to an owner on his property. 
TERMS 
Our terms are cash, unless by special agreement. 
Charge accounts may be opened upon receipt of the 
names-of a bank and two or more parties with whom 
the customer has credit relations, allowing us time 
for investigation. We can ship by express C. O. D. 
when desired, with charges for collection added to 
the bill—provided 20 per cent of the amount of the 
order accompanies the same as a guarantee.
