Please Observe When Ordering 
Use the Order Sheet. Use the Order Sheet enclosed, giving information called for. 
Its use will save both your time and ours, and will reduce the possibilities of errors in 
filling your order. 
Terms. Cash in full with order. Send Post Office or Express Money Order, Bank 
Draft, or Personal Check. No order will be sent C.O.D. unless accompanied by one- 
fourth the amount. No shipping orders will be accepted for less than $1.00. 
Shipping Charges. All transportation charges are to be paid by the purchaser and 
will be collected at destination, unless arrangements are made to prepay shipment. Our 
responsibility for goods sold ceases upon their delivery, in good condition, to forwarding 
companies. Claims for loss or damage must be made upon the latter. We shall, however, 
gladly assist customers to secure prompt delivery, and in case of delayed freight ship¬ 
ment, we will start a tracer immediately upon request. Every means at our command 
will be offered to our customers to recover damages or losses that may have happened 
to the stock during transit. (Note: —Small orders for roses, deciduous fruit trees, and 
small potted plants may be forwarded by mail.) 
Substitution. When out of varieties or sizes ordered, we will substitute with others 
as nearly similar as possible, unless instructed to the contrary. We never make substitu¬ 
tions on large orders for commercial planting without first consulting the customer. 
Packing. We will make no charge ordinarily for packing on retail orders to any 
points in the United States, Canada, or Mexico. When extra packing is necessary for 
shipment, a charge will be made only to cover the cost of packing materials. 
Guarantee. We guarantee every plant we offer to be true to name; however, it is 
understood that should any stock prove to be otherwise, the Japanese Nursery Company 
shall be liable only for the sum paid for the stock which may prove untrue, and not for 
any greater amount. Where planting is done by us for our patrons under special ar¬ 
rangements, such service will include only a six-months' guarantee for the successful 
living of the plants, and excepting damage of the plants through flood, drought, freeze, 
frost, or any other causes beyond our control, we will replace those that were lost with 
others of equal quality or refund money. We require, however, that the customers follow 
explicitly our instructions in care of the plants after they have been set out. Such 
special arrangement must be in writing, signed by both the purchaser and the Japanese 
Nursery Company. 
Claims. Any error that we may make will be gladly rectified by us provided that 
our customers enter such claims within ten days after the receipt of the goods. 
fiBBREVIRTIONS 
In this Catalogue the hardiness of the various items is indicated by capital letters 
following each name. These letters have the following significance: 
TT., Very Tender. Adapted only to South Florida and the lower Rio Grande sections 
where frost is a rare occurrence. 
T., Tender. Hardy only in regions where heavy freezing weather does not occur; 
temperatures much below freezing are likely to cause damage. 
SH., Semi-Hardy. Ordinarily will stand midwinter temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees 
Fahr. 
H., Hardy. Hardy in all parts of the southwestern and southern states. 
HH., Very Hardy. As a general rule, will stand midwinter temperatures of zero or 
lower degrees Fahr. 
The figures immediately following the capital letters indicate the approximate 
mature height in feet, except that followed by "Sp." the width of spread is indicated 
instead of height. These estimates are for trees in their natural habitat, or, in some 
cases, in Houston and vicinity. 
Being at best only approximations, these guides as to hardiness and ultimate size 
are not guaranteed as either minimums or maximums. These features are inherently 
variable in every species of tree, and their determination is further complicated by 
varying conditions; therefore no one can accurately predict them.
