ORDER NOW—Do not wnit until you are ready plant. Frequently orders sent late in the season cannot 
be filled in full. Send us your order now; it will be carefully filed until you desire it shipped. When mak¬ 
ing out your order, write the full and correct name of the article desired, as given in catalogue. Give size 
ami catalogue price. Never give local names of plants, ns different plants frequently have the same local name. 
RESERVING ORDERS — When purchasers desire these to be reserved for weeks or months after the 
opening of the shipping season, they must be paid for in full at the time of ordering. 
NAME AND ADDRESS — Always write your name plainly upon order-sheet in catalogue. A lady should 
always sign herself Miss or Mrs., and always use the same initials. 
Give your postoffice, county and state, also street or postoffice box number, and the name of your 
nearest express office. 
SHIPPING DIRECTIONS—Give plain and explicit directions for shipping. If by freight, state route. 
When no directions are given, we shall use our best judgment in forwarding: but in all cases shipments are 
at purchaser s risk after receipt is taken from the transportation company. Freight and express rates will 
be given upon application. 
EXPRESS—In all cases, when possible, we advise our customers to have their goods forwarded by ex¬ 
press. Plants, trees, etc., are taken at a special reduced rate. 
PARCEL. POST—Owing to the nature of our products, we can send very few plants by Parcel Post, but 
if order can be sent this way, sufficient amount to cover postage must accompany order; otherwise it will 
be sent by express. 
PACKING—All articles In this catalogue packed free, except when for export, as such orders require 
large quantities of specially prepared packing material, and entail much extra labor and care in prepara¬ 
tion. This extra packing is charged at actual cost. We maintain a large force of experienced packers, and 
only the most expert are entrusted with this work. 
TERMS of PAYMENT—Cash with order, or satisfactory reference before shipment; or, if preferred, will 
ship goods with Bill of Lading attached to Sight Drift, through express or bank. On all C. O. D. and Sight

will be billed at the 10 rate; 40 at the 100 rate, etc. 
REMITTANCES—Remittances should be made by Post Office or Express Money Orders, or by checks 
on Augusta or New York. As our banks charge exchange on checks on all points except Augusta, New 
York, and few large cities, please add one-fourth of 1 per cent on private checks. We cannot be held 
responsible for losses when remittances are not made as directed above. Cash sent through the mails is 
at sender's risk. Make all remittances payable to Sigmund Tarnok & Co. 
WE GUARANTEE every tree or plant to be in a perfectly healthy condition, up to grade and first- 
class in every respect when leaving our hands, ut, after delivering to forwarders, all losses resulting 
from delays or exposures in transit are at risk of purchaser. 
RESPONSIBILITY—We have no connection whatever with any other nursery, and our responsibility 
extends only to persons purchasing direct from us. We are not responsible for failures arising from 
defective planting, unfavorable weather conditions, or improper treatment and cultivation. 
If any Nursery stock, etc., proves untrue to description under which it is sold, Seller shall be liable 
to the Purchaser only and to no greater extent or amount than the purchase price of such Nursery stock, 
etc., and the Seller except for the aforesaid agreed liability and in respect to such purchased Nursery 
stock, etc., gives no warranty express or implied as to description, quality, productiveness or any other 
matter. 
ERRORS—We exercise the utmost care in filling orders, and always put in more than is ordered, but 
during the rush of the busy season an error is occasionally made, and satisfactory correction will be 
promptly made upon notification. Keep a copy of your order for comparison. All claims for errors must be 
made within five days after receipt of goods; otherwise they will not be entertained. 
SHIPPING FACILITIES—Augusta being the terminal point of seven lines of railroads, enables us to 
secure low rates of freight to all points. 
SHIPPING SEASON—This usually commences about the middle of October, or as soon as the plants are 
sufficiently dormant to lift with safety, and for all open ground trees and plants continues until the middle 
of March, or until the buds begin to swell. Pot-grown plants can be safely sent out any time of the year. 
INSECTS AND DISEASES—Our Nurseries are free from disease. Certificate of State Entomologist is 
attached to every shipment. 
FUMIGATION—We fumigate our stock with hydrocyanic acid gas before shipping, as required by state 
law, so that assurance of freedom from insects or disease of any kind is made doubly sure.
