ORDER EARLY. —Do not wait until you are ready to plant. Frequently orders sent in late in the season 
cannot be filled in full. Send in your order early and it will be carefully filed until you desire it shipped. Write 
the full and correct names of articles desired and prices as given in catalogue, using order sheet accompanying 
the catalogue, if possible. 
RESPONSIBILITY. —We endeavor to send our patrons the grade and quality of stock ordered. We do not 
guarantee our products or assume any responsibility after they leave our nursery, as conditions always exist 
over which we have no control. It is understood, in case of error on our part, that we shall not be held respon¬ 
sible for a greater amount than the price paid. It is understood all orders accepted by us must be upon this con¬ 
dition. 
The successful growth of a tree is dependent upon so many conditions over which the nurseryman has no 
control, viz., the planting, the cultivation and maintenance, the weather, the fertility of the soil, the rainfall, 
etc., that we do not guarantee the life of our stock except upon the payment of advanced charges. 
Claims for shortage, poor arrival of shipments and others of whatever nature must be presented within 
ten days after the arrival of the consignment. 
SHIPPING DIRECTIONS. —Give plain and explicit directions for shipping; if by freight give route. When 
no directions are given we shall use our best judgment in forwarding, but in all cases our responsibility as to 
delivery of shipment ceases when receipt is taken from the transportation company. 
SHIPPING SEASON. —We usually begin to make shipments about the middle of October, or as soon after 
as the plants are sufficiently dormant to dig with safety, and continue until the middle of April, or until 
growth begins. 
CERTIFICATE OP INSPECTION. —A certificate of inspection from the State Entomologist is attached to 
every shipment, certifying to freedom from insects and diseases.
