About Ordering, Shipping, etc . 
SHIPPING SEASON. We begin filling orders about 
September 1st and continue digging and shipping dur- 
ing the entire fall, winter and spring until June 1st. 
We are sometimes delayed in January, February and 
the early part of March by freezing weather, but usu' 
ally are able to ship most of the time during these 
months. 
THE PROPER PLANTING SEASON is during the 
months of February, March and April in the spring, 
and late October, November and December in autumn. 
TERMS. Cash with order; but orders will be booked 
if one-fourth value is received with order, remainder 
to be sent before time of shipment. We allow a dis¬ 
count of 5 per cent on all orders, except strawberry 
plants, when cash accompanies order in full. Remit by 
money order, registered letter, check or draft. Prices 
are f. o. b. Selbyville.

believe we are exact as any in the business. Any 
stock received from us that isn’t true-to-name, we agree 
to replace on proper proof, such stock free of charge, 
or refund purchase price. It is understood and agreed 
between the buyer and ourselves that we will not be 
held responsible for any greater sum than the cost of 
the stock, should any prove untrue.

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE STOCK TO LIVE. 
We guarantee all stock we sell to be strictly first class, 
dug and packed properly for shipment. We can only 
guarantee to send you good stock up to grade repre- 
sented, full of life, and to reach you in good condition. 
Conditions of Sale 
SUBSTITUTION. When sold out of a variety of 
trees or plants we frankly say so and when you allow 
us to substitute we will send a variety similar to the 
one ordered, as good or better; as we know the many 
varieties, our substitution, if any, will be of advantage. 
Late in the season we are sometimes sold out of some 
varieties of stock, thus when sending your order it is 
to your advantage to say whether we may substitute 
or not, that we may get the order off promptly, before 
the season is too far advanced for successful planting. 
If you do not wish us to exercise this right please mark 
your order sheet plainly NO SUBSTITUTION. 
CLAIMS. If any, must be made within five days 
from receipt of stock. We cannot be held responsible 
for damage to stock caused by droughts, floods, frosts, 
insects, fires, etc., and by stock not being taken from 
the express office for several days after its arrival. 
NOTICE OF SHIPMENT. Notice will be sent you 
when your order has been shipped.

CERTIFICATE OF NURSERY INSPECTION 
Dover, Del., September 1, 1937. 
To Whom It May Concern: 
This certifies that I have this day examined the nursery stock 
and premises of the General Nurseries of Buntings’ Nurseries, at 
Selbyville, Sussex County, Delaware, and that said nursery stock 
is apparently free from crown gall, peach yellows, peach, 
rosette, the San Jose scale, and all other plant diseases and 
insects of a seriously dangerous nature, that may be trans- 
ferred on nursery stock. 
This certificate may be revoked by the State Board of Agri- 
culture for cause, and it is invalid after August 31, 1938, and 
does not include nursery stock not grown on the above named 
premises unless such stock is covered by certificate of a State 
or Government officer and accepted by the State Board of Agri¬ 
culture. 
T. F. MANNS, Inspector.
