Business Rules 
All prices in this catalogue are net delivered to railway agent, pack¬ 
ing free, purchaser to pay cost of transportation, except where other¬ 
wise specifically noted. If there is no agent at the point of destination, 
requiring prepayment of express charges, or when the relatively small 
size of the order makes parcel-post service the more practicable, or 
when shipping to foreign countries, the following charges for such 
prepayment are made: 
For prepayment of small packages by mail (or express shipments 
to points where there is no agent), Florida customers add 10 per cent 
to the total value of the plants. Outside of Florida and east of the 
Mississippi River add 20 per cent. West of the Mississippi River add 
30 per cent. To foreign countries, add 30 per cent. 
We cannot fill orders amounting to less than $1. Such orders are 
a positive loss to us. Should you want a special plant amounting to 
less than that, add 25 cents. 
TERMS. Cash with order. Remit by Postal or Express Money 
Order on Oneco, bank draft or personal check. Currency by open mail 
is unsafe. Foreigners may remit by International Postoffice Order 
on Bradenton, Fla., or by bank exchange. 
In applying prices, 5 of a variety will be sold at the 10 rate, 40 at 
the 100 rate, and 250 at the 1,000 rate. This applies to single vari¬ 
eties only and not assorted plants. 
GUARANTEEING PLANTS. This is not done by any reputable 
nurseryman unless he charges prices sufficiently high to more than off¬ 
set any possible loss. When good stock is received in good condition, 
no difficulty should be experienced in getting it to grow and do well 
unless the conditions are not favorable, and it is obviously not just 
or logical for the nurseryman to have to assume responsibility for 
cultural failures! 
And it would also hardly be fair to the customer who takes proper 
care of stock and who understands the requirements of different 
plants, to charge a price higher than normal merely to protect the 
nurseryman from losses incurred by guaranteeing stock to careless, 
incompetent, or unscrupulous persons. 
OUR RESPONSIBILITY. We exercise the greatest care to have 
our plants true to label, both as a matter of policy and because de¬ 
liberate carelessness or deceit would be business suicide. We hold 
ourselves prepared, on proper proof of error on our part, to make 
replacement of any tree or plant that may prove otherwise up to the 
amount originally paid for them, but no more. To this the purchaser 
agrees when ordering from us. 
While our responsibility for safety of plants ceases after delivery 
of the goods to carrier, in so far as liability for damage is concerned, 
still we feel a personal concern for the interests of our customers 
and are anxious that their rights should be protected. In the case of 
shipments by express or freight, from which forms of service collec¬ 
tion of damage claims is possible, we will guarantee safe delivery of 
all nursery stock, or to collect any just claim provided consignee has 
the agent at destination endorse the extent of damage or loss on 
freight or express receipt. The same provision applies to overcharge; 
we keep accurate record of all shipments, and if anyone suspects an 
overcharge, we will investigate same when they send agent’s receipt 
and secure refund if such has been the case. 
FILLING ORDERS. All orders are filled promptly. We ship with 
absolute safety to all parts of the world by parcel post, express, and 
freight. We exercise our best judgment when forwarding stock, 
whether by express or freight—in the former case using especially 
thin material—working for the best interests of each customer as to 
safety of delivery and least cost. 
SUBSTITUTION. In ordering please state whether substitution 
will be permitted, as we feel at liberty, when no instructions accom¬ 
pany the order to replace with other sorts as nearly similar as possible. 
THIS PRESENT PRICE LIST abrogates all previous terms, condi¬ 
tions, and prices. Authorized dealers desiring to buy in quantity 
should write us. 
RESERVE ORDERS for stock for future delivery must be accom¬ 
panied by a deposit of 25 per cent of the value of the order to insure 
us in booking the order and reserving stock. 
C. O. D. ORDERS cannot be accepted unless accompanied by 25 
per cent of the total amount as a guarantee of acceptance on delivery.
