Please Read Before Ordering 
All stock selected and marked by customers in the nursery will be charged for in accordance with its value, 
or at the price agreed upon at the time, and prices in this list will not apply in such cases. 
TIME TO ORDER. As soon as convenient after receiving this catalogue, for late in the season we may be out 
of some varieties, but if you order early you will get just what you want, without any trouble or delay. Stock 
will be reserved and shipped when the proper time comes or when you specify. Be sure to plant as early as 
possible so the plants may become established before dry weather comes on. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT. From September to May, and even later sometimes. We will use every precaution in 
our power to put plants through in good condition. If you leave time of shipment to us we will use our best 
judgment as to the best time. All transportation charges are to be paid by purchasers. 
PAYMENT may be made by Money Order, Registered Letter, Bank Draft, or Personal Check in full pay¬ 
ment with order, or one-fourth with order and balance before day of shipment, or one-fourth with order and 
balance C. O. D. 
TRUE TO NAME. We use every precaution to have our stock true to name, but in case any should prove 
otherwise we will replace it or refund the amount paid, but in no case will we be responsible for any sum 
greater than that paid us for the stock. 
YOU ARE TAXING NO RISK. We send just what you order or refund your money, unless you tell us to 
substitute your order with the nearest to it we have, should we be out of the varieties ordered. 
CLAIMS, if any, must be made in writing within 5 days from receipt of stock. We cannot become responsible 
for damage to stock caused by droughts, floods, frosts, insects, fire, etc., and by stock not being taken from 
express office for several days after arrival. 
WIRE BALLING. An improved method that we have found highly successful in digging the larger sizes of 
some items such as Magnolia, Holly, Oak, and Standard Crape Myrtle. 
This system makes it easy to get larger root-balls, more securely held together, than is possible with regular 
B&B handling—a margin of safety that is often desirable. Wire balling may be applied, at the discretion of 
the customer, to other trees and other sizes than those mentioned herein. 
CULTURAL INSTRUCTIONS 
PLANTING AND GENERAL CARE. In foundation planting and general landscape work, get the ground as 
mellow as possible before setting out anything. If the soil is not ready when plants arrive, it is best to heel-in 
the trees. Plants or trees should never be allowed to dry out between the time they are taken from the nursery 
and the time of planting. 
The holes should be made considerably larger than necessary to accommodate the roots or balls of earth. Set 
the trees the exact depth they stood in the nursery rows. If bare-rooted, spread out the roots by hand and 
pack the earth well around them. When the hole is three-quarters full, pack well with the feet. 
After packing thoroughly, and before the hole is filled up, pour in water. When the water has been absorbed, 
fill up the remainder of the hole, pack again with the feet, and level off. 
Only those who give their trees or shrubs the care they require can hope to secure the maximum results from 
their plantings. 
We are glad to answer questions on fertilizing and spraying.
