HART’S NURSERY, SPENCERVILLE, INDIANA 
Instructions to Customers 
It has always been our desire to give 
every customer prompt, efficient service 
and you can aid us greatly in doing this 
if you will exercise care and accuracy in 
making out your order. 
Our ideal location and soil enable us to 
start digging and shipping a week to ten 
days earlier than most northern nurseries. 
There are no storage cellars on our farms. 
All stock is fresh dug as needed. 
WHEN TO ORDER —As there may be a 
shortage of the particular varieties you 
want it is best to make up your order and 
send it in as quickly as possible. Stock 
will then be reserved and shipped at spe¬ 
cified time. Strawberry and Raspberry 
plants are a short crop in many localities 
this year and for your own protection 
this stock should be ordered early. 
HOW TO ORDER —An order blank is pro¬ 
vided with each catalog. However, any 
ordinary writing paper will do. In order 
to save unnecessary correspondence, al¬ 
ways give complete name and full address, 
shipping point, etc. 
TERMS OF PAYMENT— Our low prices 
for high quality stock are for cash only. 
Please do not request C. O. D. shipments. 
We will book early orders with a cash 
payment to show good faith, and balance 
may be remitted before shipment is want¬ 
ed. 
REMITTANCE —The safest way to remit 
is by postal or express money orders. 
Cash may be sent in registered letters and 
personal checks will be accepted if care¬ 
fully made out. Please do not send stamps.

SHIPPING SEASONS— Spring shipping 
season usually begins in March and con¬ 
tinues until June. 
HOW TO SHIP —Large tree and cane 
plant orders can be shipped safely early 
in the spring by freight. Order ship¬ 
ment in March and trench or heel in the 
stock until you are ready to plant. For 
Strawberry plants and small orders of 
other stock, express or parcel post ship¬ 
ment is necessary. If not particular, tell 
us to ship “cheapest way.” 
SAFE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED—All 
stock guaranteed to reach you in perfect 
condition, as we use plenty of damp moss, 
waterproof paper and strong, wire-bound 
crates and boxes. 
IN CASE OF ERROR— We are not sat¬ 
isfied until you are. As soon as stock ar¬ 
rives check it over carefully and in case 
of error notify us immediately and same 
will be corrected.
