GUARANTEE AND TERMS OF SALE 
We guarantee our stock to be true to name, prop¬ 
erly dug and prepared for shipment. 
We will cheerfully replace any tree, shrub or other 
plant at any time should it prove untrue to name. 
However, it is understood and agreed that we will 
not be held liable for a greater amount than the orig¬ 
inal purchase price of such untrue to name stock. 
We further agree to replace any deciduous tree, 
shrub or vine (except Nut Trees and Blueberries) that 
fails to grow (from natural causes) after being prop¬ 
erly planted and cared for providing:—we are notified 
before the first of August following planting and that 
the stock is allowed to stand as planted so that we 
may examine it should we so desire. 
It is specifically understood that we do not guar¬ 
antee the livability of any evergreen tree or shrub. 
All evergreen stock is carefully balled and burlapped 
and we exercise every precaution to place such ma¬ 
terial in the hands of the purchaser in proper condition 
for planting but—due to the many conditions over 
which we have no control—we cannot accept respon¬ 
sibility for loss after acceptance by the purchaser. 
Our perennials are guaranteed to be delivered in 
healthy growing condition. If they are not they should 
be returned to us immediately for adjustment or re¬ 
placement. With the knowledge that perennials are 
lost from either delay in unpacking and planting or 
improper planting and maintenance, which are con¬ 
ditions over which we have no control, we cannot 
honor claims for adjustment or replacement unless 
they are received within two days after delivery of 
the goods. 
When delivery is made by our own truck, we 
guarantee safe arrival to destination; when delivery 
is made by common carrier, our liability for damage 
in transit ceases upon acceptance by such common 
carrier and any claims for damage while in transit 
shall be made direct to the carrier handling the stock. 
We hold ourselves liable only for the original 
amount paid us for the stock and it is agreed that we 
will not be requested nor required to replace any 
stock, for any reason whatever, until such stock is 
paid for in full. 
Fall shipments are made in October, November 
and December. Spring shipments March, April and 
May according to locality, weather and other con¬ 
ditions. Departure and arrival, however, are not guar¬ 
anteed at any specified time or season. 
It is agreed that any nursery stock ordered by the 
purchaser becomes the purchaser's property upon 
its delivery to the premises of purchaser be it the 
whole or any part of the order. 
We book all orders with the understanding that 
same shall be void should injury befall the stock from 
freezing, flood, drouth, fire, or other causes beyond 
our control.
