FOREWORD. 
For several years past we have had the privilege 
of furnishing nursery stock through County Agents 
and Agricultural Teachers, to thousands of farmers 
and home-owners. This method of distribution is 
becoming more and more popular, because the Agent 
and Teacher are in position to follow up the sale of 
plants and trees with practical advice to the buyer 
as to the scientific methods of planting and cultiva¬ 
ting. 
We have just completed a new and modern frost¬ 
proof storage and packing house, and this will enable 
us to give even better service than in previous sea¬ 
sons. 
We feel that we have the good-will of each 
County Agent and Agricultural teacher who has or¬ 
dered from us in past seasons. We realize that they 
are a connecting link between us and their clients, 
and that we must do our full duty in order that the 
clients may receive just treatment. 
A word as to prices: In marketing nursery 
stock it is necessary that quantity governs price; 
and in order that there be no discrimination between 
small buyers and large quantity buyers, we price 
most items as “Each,” “Per 10,” “Per 100,” and in 
some instances, “Per 1000,” making the differential 
such as is justified by varying quantities, and thus 
enabling the small buyer to own his trees or plants 
on a comparative basis with the buyer who uses 
large quantities. 
Varieties: Several new varieties are included 
in this issue of our list. We try; to keep abreast of 
the times in varieties, but do not include new ones 
until it has been determined that there is merit to 
them. The descriptions given are accurate, and our 
variety list is so complete that perfectly satisfactory 
material may be found in it to completely furnish 
any home grounds or orchard. 
Prices shown in the list are F. O. B. our nursery, 
but we make no extra charge for boxing or packing. 
However, freight, express, and postage are to be 
paid by customer. If small shipment is ordered to 
come by mail, kindly include enough with your pur¬ 
chase check to fully cover postage. If too much is 
sent, the excess amount will be refunded. 
Terms: Cash with order unless you desire ship¬ 
ment sent C. O. D. and even then a part of the pur¬ 
chase price should be sent with order. We strongly 
recommend your sending payment in full saving C. 
O. D. Fee and the charge for returning remittance 
to us. 
Substitutions: Usually we will be able to supply 
any article listed by us true-to-name; but should it 
happen that we are sold out of any item ordered we 
will use all care to give you a satisfactory substi¬ 
tute, and label it as sent. On large quantity orders, 
or orders for commercial orchards, we will not sub¬ 
stitute at all unless we first have your consent. 
Special Discount: If your order amounts to 
$50.00 or more, we allow a straight discount of 5 
percent from list. This discount makes it desirable 
to send “club orders”—two or three, or several per¬ 
sons sending their orders together to be included in 
one shipment. 
We shall be glad to serve you often during the 
season.
