AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE 
TO OUR CUSTOMERS 
Please Read Carefully 
We have listed in our 1940 “Grape Book” the very newest and best grape 
varieties. Grapevines are our specialty and we devote all of our time to 
growing stock of superior quality. 
PRICE IS NO INDICATION OF QUALITY 
We take great pride in maintaining a very high standard of quality in the 
vines that we sell. We will grant that vines can be purchased at lower prices 
than ours. We do maintain, however, that lower prices are usually reflected 
in inferior nursery stock. 
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
We stand back of every vine that we sell with a money-back guarantee. 
Every vine purchased from us must be satisfactory or your money will be 
refunded. Our business is based on fair dealing and no transaction is con¬ 
sidered complete unless the customer is satisfied. 
Shipping Charges Prepaid on Small Orders 
We pay all the shipping charges on orders of from one to fifteen vines. 
This means that you can save from two to three cents on each vine, besides 
the convenience of having your stock delivered to your door. 
SHIPPING SEASON 
We can make shipments, weather permitting, to Southern States during the 
winter months. Our regular shipping season begins about March first and 
continues well into June. We also make shipments for Fall planting be¬ 
ginning the latter part of October. If you would like your order shipped on 
a special date, please state shipping date on order blank. 
ORDER EARLY 
By ordering early you enable us to get all of our clerical work prior to 
shipping done before the rush season arrives. For this reason we allow a 
10% Discount on early orders. Some varieties of grapes are scarce this year. 
An early order can be filled where later orders may be uncertain. 
INSPECTION 
Each year our nursery is inspected by an authorized nursery inspector of 
the New York State Department of Farms and Markets, and a certificate to 
the effect that our stock is free from disease accompanies each shipment. 
Our Vines are True to Name
