Shipping Instructions should be given, otherwise I use my best judgment, but 
assume no risk. All shipments travel at purchaser’s risk and carriers must be held liable 
for any damage in transit. All slock becomes the properly of the purchaser on delivery to 
transportation company or carrier. 
Delivery by Truck. Where the size of ordei; warrants, there are distinct advantages 
in auto truck delivery for distances up to 30 to 50 miles and we have made large deliveries 
up to 200 miles. Stock arrives quickly and when wanted , and is delivered fresh on the 
grounds, saving local trucking and unpacking. Charges are made according to size of 
truck and distance traveled. 
Prices are made to fit the quality of stock sent out. Discriminating buyers now 
realize that the greatest value of nursery stock is underground. Frequent transplanting 
and handling specimens with adequate, burlaped balls, mean success and quick results. 
It costs more, but it is the fixed policy of the Boxford-IIighlands Nursery, and “cheap” 
stock’wilFnot be handled or sent out. The best is always the cheapest. 
Special Selection. Stock specially selected at Nursery or ordered by mail will be 
charged at advance prices to fit the value of stock selected. The prices in this catalog 
cover the average good grade as they run in the nursery row. 
Packing Charges. At prices printed in this catalog, Boxing, Balling or Burlaping 
is free except where noted. Where small sizes or deciduous stock is balled and burlaped 
by special request, a charge is always made to cover cost, as follows: 
Burlaping Charges: * 
Each 
Small sizes . SO. 10 
2 to 3 ft. clumps and trees. .15 
3 to 4 ft. clumps and trees. .20 
4 to 6 ft. clumps and trees. .25 
6 to 8 ft. clumps and trees.'. .30 
Larger sizes are billed in proportion. Where large evergreens arc shipped 
on “platforms,” a suitable charge will be made to cover cost. 
Terms. Cash or satisfactory reference from unknown customers. All accounts 
are due the first of each month, unless by special arrangement. Five at 10 rate; 50 at 
100 rate; 500 at 1,000 rate. 
Non-Warranty. No guarantee, express or implied, is made that stock will grow, 
whether planted by me or otherwise. Having no control over after treatment of plantings 
or over weather conditions, it is obvious that purchaser must assume all responsibility 
after stock leaves the Nursery in good condition. However, under certain conditions, I 
am prepared to guarantee plantings made by me covering a specified period, on an insur¬ 
ance basis. Charges will be made according to risk involved and value of material. 
Claims for errors must be made on receipt of goods. If there is any mistake or fault 
on my part it will gladly be rectified. 
Plant Names. Both the common names and the botanical or Latin names in this 
catalog conform to the Official Catalog of Standardized Plant Names, published by The 
American Joint Committee on Horticultural Nomenclature. 
Landscape Forestry. We do Landscape Forestry, treating woodlands from a 
landscape standpoint as well as for commercial uses. Mr. Kelsey is open for consultations 
and engagements. 
Quarantine. The Federal Horticultural Board has proclaimed a practically com¬ 
plete embargo on all Foreign Trees and Shrubs and most Herbaceous Plants. Americans 
will now learn that our Native Trees and Plants are hardier, freer from disease, more 
permanent, and far more beautiful and “fitting” in our landscapes and home grounds 
than exotic material. The best exotics can and now will be grown in America for Ameri¬ 
cans. We are growing them by thousands.
