-express, and name of freight or express office. If directions are not given, we will use our own judg¬

endeavor to look after the interests of our customers, and have plants and trees packed as light as is 
consistent with their safe transportation. 
iff Frozen When Received, bury the package unopened in well-drained ground, or place it in a cool 
cellar, so that it will thaw out slowly and gradually without being exposed to the air. 
Iff They Should Appear Dry or Shriveled When Received, through delay in transit, or from any 
cause, take them from the package and plunge into a tub of water, or bury the roots in the ground 
in an inclining position so as to cover one-half or more of the tops with earth, and i hen thoroughly 
soak with water, and let them remain for 24 hours or more until they regain their fresh, plump appear¬ 
ance, when they may be planted. 
Our Guarantee. —While we exercise the greatest care to have every tree and plant true to name, and 
are ready, on proper proof, to replace anything sent by us that proves untrue to label free of charge, it is 
understood and agreed between purchaser and ourselves that we are not to be held liable for any greater 
sum than that paid us for said trees that may prove untrue. 
Time of Shipment. —To the fall trade we will commence to ship trees as soon as the leaves are off and 
the wood ripe, and plants about the first of October, and continue as long as the weather is mild. For the 
spring trade, in most seasons, we can fill orders as early as February for the South, as late as May for the 
Northern customers. Always name date when you want stock shipped, but have it reach you before you 
need it. We endeavor to handle your stock in best manner, clean it up nicely and give you good count.

shipped until the proper time or until you wish it.
