When you purchase plants from Bulk’s, you are assured of this inner value 
and may anticipate years of lasting satisfaction. 
Below is shown a section of our Propagating Department. It is here that our 
plants originate and are nursed along from the tender stages until strong enough 
to plant in the field. Many years of care and culture are necessary in the field 
before the plants are ready for your needs, and it is here that our plants develop 
their hardiness and strength. 
Visitors find this Department very interesting, and it helps them to 
appreciate the individual character and growth of the various varieties of plants. 
Planting Seasons 
Evergreens may be planted from the time the frost 
leaves the ground until the latter part of June, though 
early planting is much preferred. Some varieties can be 
moved satisfactorily during the summer months. August, 
September, and October are excellent months. 
Plant shrubs, trees, and fruit trees from the latter part 
of March until June, and from the middle of October 
until the ground freezes. Pot-grown Roses can be moved 
the entire summer and continue to bloom. 
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR ORDERING 
AND OUR TERMS 
Always give address and desired time of delivery; otherwise 
we forward by the most economical route. Practically all our 
deliveries will be made by our trucks. Our free-delivery radius, 
on orders amounting to $10 or more, extends 30 miles from our 
Nursery. This enables distant customers to get the benefit of 
local prices. During planting season, loads are combined for 
each locality at least twice a week. Beyond this 30-mile limit, 
a small charge will be made for delivery to cover cost, unless 
otherwise arranged at time of sale. 
The cost of planting, if we do it, is borne by the purchaser. 
Our charge merely covers the cost of labor, fertilizer, etc. 
SPECIAL SERVICE 
We are prepared to furnish competent gardeners at the 
proper seasons to do all kinds of garden work, such as general 
overhauling, summer and winter pruning, spraying, hedge¬ 
trimming, fertilizing, tree-repair work, etc. Such work is 
important and should be entrusted only to capable men. 
GUARANTEE 
Because all our stock is freshly dug and reaches the customer 
in fine, healthy condition, and because of the utmost care and 
skill used in growing our plants, we agree to replace any plants 
sold, at the prices published in this book, that may die within 
one year from date of delivery from other causes than abuse 
or neglect, but we make the following reservations: 
The account must be paid within 30 days from date of invoice. 
The customer pays the cost of delivery and planting of the 
replaced plants. 
In the event we shall not have in stock, at the time for 
replacement, plants like those originally supplied, we are to 
apply the amount of credit representing the cost of the original 
plants toward the purchase of other plants that the customer 
may at the time select and which we can supply. 
We guarantee our stock to be true to name and will replace 
any that proves otherwise, or refund purchase price.
