On all contracts of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or 
more, planted by us, we furnish a maintenance service 
which has proven of benefit to our customers. During i 
the Summer inspections are made from time to time 
of our plantings and all necessary pruning of trees 
and shrubs is taken care of. Furthermore, our men ’ 
report any irregularities, which enable us to ofifer ad¬ 
vice as to the proper care of the stock planted. | 
Prices quoted to include planting, unless specifically 1 
mentioned, do not cover any soil preparations and on j 
delivery should it he necessary to wheel either rubbish ( 
or black soil in or out or to do any hauling, extra « 
charges will be made. If black soil is needed, it should | 
be arranged for prior to the time of planting. We do 
not plant trees, shrubs, or evergreens unless the proper j 
soil is on the premises as regardless of our guarantee it 
is impossible to produce the proper effects with any j 
grade of stock not planted in good soil. 
Beds must be prepared for planting Perennials. > 
Trimming, grubbing out or transplanting old stock 
will also be charged for extra. 
Replacements 
The transplanting of live trees and plants is nothing 
more than a surgical operation, therefore, it is im¬ 
possible to expect one hundred percent at all times. 
However, as previously advised replacement is an inde¬ 
pendent order and will be executed as soon as condi¬ 
tions warrant. For example, a tree or shrub planted 
in November or April is declared dead in July, but 
cannot be replaced until November or April of the fol¬ 
lowing year depending on the variety of the tree or 
shrub. To further illustrate this point let us specify. I 
Althea (Rose of Sharon) or Prunus Triloba (Flowering 
Plum) these shrubs can be planted only in the Spring. 
Therefore, should any of these plants die, the replace¬ 
ment can be made only the following Spring. 
Cash and Carry 
special attention is given those who purchase at 
the nursery, whether the order is large or small. Show 
grounds are always open for your inspection.
