About Ordering, Shipping, Etc. 
SHIPPING SEASON. We begin filling or¬ 
ders about September 1st and continue dig- 
ding and shipping during the entire fall, 
winter and spring until June 1st. We are 
sometimes delayed in January, February and 
the early part of March by freezing weather, 
but usually are able to ship most of the time 
during these months. 
THE PROPER PLANTING SEASON is dur¬ 
ing the months of February, March and April 
in the spring, and late October, November 
and December in autumn. 
SUBSTITUTION. When sold out of a va¬ 
riety of trees or plants we frankly say so and 
when you allow us to substitute we will send 
a variety similar to the one ordered, as good 
or better; as we know the many varieties, our 
substitution, if any, will be of advantage. 
Late in the season we are sometimes sold out 
of some varieties of stock, thus when sending 
your order it is to your advantage to say 
whether we may substitute or not, that we 
may get the order off promptly, before the 
season is too far advanced for successful 
planting. If you do not wish us to exercise 
this right please mark your order sheet 
plainly NO SUBSTITUTION. 
CLAIMS. If any, must be made within five 
days from receipt of stock. We cannot be 
held responsible for damage to stock caused 
by droughts, floods, frosts, insects, fires, etc., 
and by stock not being taken from the ex¬ 
press office for several days after its arival. 
NOTICE OF SHIPMENT. Notice will be 
sent you when your order has been shipped. 
WARRANTY. We strive to avoid mistakes 
and believe we are as exact as any in the 
business. Any stock received from us that 
isn't true-to-name, we agree to replace, on 
proper proof, such stock free of charge, or re¬ 
fund purchase price. It is understood and 
agreed between the buyer and ourselves that 
we will not be held responsible for any 
greater sum than the cost of the stock, should 
any prove untrue. 
TERMS. Cash with order; but orders will 
be booked if one-fourth value is received with 
order, remainder to be sent before time of 
shipment. Remit by money order, registered 
letter, check or draft. 
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE STOCK TO 
LIVE. We guarantee all stock we sell to be 
strictly first class, dug and packed properly 
for shipment. We can only guarantee to send 
you good stock up to grade represented, full 
of life, and to reach you in good condition. 
PRICES QUOTED HEREIN ARE F. O. B.

prices, we do not prepay transportation, ex¬ 
cept where noted.
