PRICES—NOTE CAREFULLY. 
Single rate prices are for less than 
five of a kind. 
Ten-rate prices are for five or more

kind. 
Hundred-rate prices are for twenty- 
five or more and less than 250 of 
a kind. 
Thousand-rate prices are for 250 or 
more of a kind. 
We cannot agree to fill small 
orders for a few of a kind for less 
than single rates, as it oftentimes 
takes one over many acres of 
ground to fill a single order, and 
the proportionate expense of dig¬ 
ging and packing orders must be taken into account.

us orders for less than five of a kind, shipped at the same time, amount¬

TERMS. Cash in advance from unknown parties or satisfactory reference. 
We send invoice at time of shipment of order, and should any error be 
noticed on receipt of goods notify us immediately and we will do all 
in our power to rectify it. 
HOW ORDERS ARE SHIPPED. We ship all large trees and other bulky 
orders, which are to go outside the city, by freight, unless otherwise 
requested. Medium sized orders can be shipped by express to advan¬ 
tage; this is especially advisable where immediate arrival is desired. 
All orders are delivered free to local freight, express companies and in 
the city. We are not liable for delays by forwarding parties. If stock 
is not promptly received notify us and we will trace. 
PACKING. We make no charge for packing excepting when stock is pur¬ 
chased at hundred-rate prices or in case of large bulky stock, or where we 
ship with carefully preserved balls of earth, etc., which necessitates devot¬ 
ing more time and packing material than is usual. In such instances a 
charge covering cost is made. 
HOW TO REACH US. Our nursery and office are located at EDGE- 
WOOD. Edgewood Avenue, just beyond Edgewood Park. See Guide 
Map on opposite page. 
EARLY ORDERS. To one familiar with the rush at the packing season, it 
must be obvious that it is impossible to fill an order requiring much 
time in its preparation on short notice without doing an injustice to 
others who have their orders previously booked. In fairness to all, we 
have adopted the practice of filling orders in the rotation received, un¬ 
less orders are received far enough ahead of the packing season, with 
instructions to ship at a given date, so that we can arrange a special 
shipping date. So we again say— place your order as far in advance as you 
possibly can , stating when you would like stock sent. 
IMPORTANT NOTE. During Fall and Spring there are intervals when 
it is quite impossible for us to devote as much time as we would like 
to showing parties about the nursery, as these are the most strenuous shipping 
periods of the entire year. 
TRANSPLANTING DIRECTIONS. This pamphlet we are pleased to 
send on request.

It has taken years to grow up these beautiful specimen trees and shrubs. They can
