FOR YOUR INFORMATION 
As we invite your orders for the trees and 
plants we illustrate and describe, you may ask— 
and surely you are entitled to know—who we are, 
and what our business record is; how we have 
served other buyers and why we know we can 
serve you to your satisfaction and profit. The facts 
below are to give you that information. 
Well Established 
The Winfield Nurseries were founded over forty 
years ago. It is not uncommon to hear of some 
nurseries that have been in the same family for 
generations. Ours is no exception. The personnel 
of our organization started working in the nurs¬ 
ery as boys, as have also most of our present em¬ 
ployees. 
Our growth has been gradual, but steady, to 
meet both in quality and kind, the increased de¬ 
mand of buyers. Our big plantings in the Ar¬ 
kansas River Valley in southern Kansas, favored 
by fertile soil, are also disciplined by climate that 
produces the best and hardiest trees and plants, 
thrifty and full of vitality. 
Packing, Shipping and 
Storage Facilities 
Our packing, storage and shipping facilities 
have kept pace with the growth of the business. 
We have one of the most modern equipped pack¬ 
ing and storage nursery plants in the middle west. 
This assures you that your order will reach you 
in good, fresh condition. Our whole output is 
handled under cover at all seasons of the year—a 
part of our progressive methods that guarantees 
the freshness, grade and quality of our stock. We 
have ample shipping facilities out of Winfield: 
the Santa Fe, Southern Kansas, Frisco and Mis¬ 
souri Pacific railroads running several trains daily 
in all directions. The Railway Express Agency, 
Inc., carries express over all lines. 
What We Agree to Do 
We take all risks of transportation and guaran¬ 
tee the delivery of stock in good order. If not in 
first-class condition on arrival notify us and we 
will immediately forward new stock to take its 
place under the same guarantee. Should any plant 
die during the first season after planting, having 
had good care under a normal growing season, 
we will replace same at one-half the purchase 
price. 
Reference 
As to our financial responsibilities we refer you 
to the First National Bank or any business house 
of this city. As to fair dealings and trustworthi¬ 
ness we offer you any of your friends who may 
have purchased stock of us heretofore. Your 
neighbor may be one of our customers. Ask him. 
Stock Healthy and Free 
From Pests and Disease 
State Inspectors examine our stock of trees 
regularly and thoroughly and every shipment that 
goes out bears an official certificate of inspection. 
Non-warranty—In the event that any stock sold 
by us should prove untrue to name under which it 
is sold, we hereby agree on proper proof of such 
untrueness to name, to replace that portion of 
the order proven untrue to name or to refund 
twice the purchase price thereof. Except for such 
liability, and in respect to all nursery stock sold 
by us, we give no warranty, express or implied, 
as to description, productiveness, or any other 
matter. 
Prices 
Prices quoted herein mean that the specified 
stock will be packed free of charge and delivered 
in good condition to the transportation company. 
Our quality plants are priced low, so get your 
order in early while we have a surplus in all 
varieties. 
How to Ship 
Orders will be shipped by freight, express, or 
parcel post (for small orders of grape vines, 
blackberry plants, etc.) as you wish. It is best, 
however, that most orders be shipped by express 
as this service is prompt and satisfactory, delivery 
being made to you at once within a few hours 
after leaving the nursery. Freight shipments, be¬ 
ing slow, there is some danger of the stock drying 
out. Our fruit trees are too large for parcel post 
shipment. 
Transportation Charges 
We prepay transportation charges on all orders 
amounting to $25.00 or more. 
Time of Shipment 
Please advise the approximate time you want 
your order shipped. We will ship your order as 
nearly as possible on the date you indicate. You 
must remember that we are governed in this mat¬ 
ter by weather conditions. You may be assured 
that we will use our best judgment and will 
advise you beforehand as to the shipping date, 
that you may be looking for the shipment. Our 
shipping season opens in the fall about October 
20th and closes in the spring about May 20th. 
While you have plenty of time in the spring to 
plant it is advisable to have your stock ordered 
and set it out as early as the weather will permit. 
Remittance 
Should be made by post office or express money 
order, bank draft, or we will take your personal 
check, if you prefer. Do not send currency, as it 
is unsafe.
