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 usually 
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. 
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 SUSTITUTION. 
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. 
WARRANTY. We strive to avoid mistakes and 
believe we are as 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. 
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 discount 
of 5 per cent on all orders when cash accompanies order 
in full. Remit by money order, registered letter, check 
or draft. Prices are f. o. b. Selbyville. 
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. 
PRICES QUOTED HEREIN ARE F. O. B. SEL¬ 
BYVILLE. At these very reasonable prices, we do not 
prepay transportation. 
REFERENCE. We refer you to Dun & Bradstreet, 
Inc., Baltimore Trust Company of Selbyville, or any 
business house in Selbyville.
