outside the trade will be 20 per cent additional.

1000 rate. Fewer than 250 of one variety will be billed at the 100 rate. 
SMALL ORDERS are welcomed, but prices on all orders for 50 or less of any one 
variety will be 20 per cent more than the cost per cutting at the 100 rate. No 
orders accepted for fewer than 2 5. 
SPECIAL RATES may be obtained on orders for more tKan 2000 cuttings. 
DISCOUNTS. We allow a 5 per cent discount if cash accompanies the order. A 
discount of 2 per cent is allowed if payment is made within ten days of the date 
of shipment. 
PAYMENTS must be made on the first of the month following the date of invoice 
unless special terms have been arranged. 
CREDIT will gladly be extended to worthy greenhouse operators. If you require 
more than thirty days in which to make payment, arrangements should be made 
with us previous to shipm/ent. Unless previous arrangements have been made, 
accounts will be placed for collection at the end of sixty days. 
CLAIMS must be in writing to us WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER RECEIPT OF 
SHIPMENT, or stock must be returned to us within that same period of time. We 
are not responsible for damage to stock in transit. If stock is frozen, crushed or 
otherwise damaged in transit, claim should be brought against the transporta¬ 
tion company. If you think that our stock is not as it should be, let us know at 
once. Do not experiment with it and later advise us that it was not satisfactory. 
No claims will be entertained unless the stock is returned immediately, or unless 
complaints are mailed to us within 24 hours after the shipment has been received. 
CARRIAGE AND PACKING. No charge is made for packing, but carriage 
charges are paid for by the purchaser in all cases. All prices are F. O. B. Sau¬ 
gus, Mass. 
SHIPMENTS will be made by Railway Express except in the case of European 
orders or unless we are otherwise instructed. In most cases, this is the most eco¬ 
nomical and satisfactory method of shipping. If your express office is different 
than your post office, be sure to advise us. 
FOREIGN ORDERS must be accompanied by cash with allowances for carriage 
charges and differences in exchange. Foreign orders should be paid for with 
International Money Orders or drafts on a U. S. bank. Differences in exchange 
and the cost of cashing foreign checks often amount to a considerable sum. If 
special permits are necessary, these should be secured and forwarded to us with 
the order. We have shipped plants successfully to all parts of the world, but very 
often delays and expense may be avoided by a word of advice from a purchaser 
regarding customs requirements, best routes, etc. The average cost for parcel 
post and insurance on orders going to Europe is about $1.75 per 100 cuttings. 
BEETLE CERTIFICATES will be issued whenever they are requested. We are a 
Class I establishment, and are authorized to issue certificates. These will be 
issued only when requested PREVIOUS TO SHIPMENT. We are not allowed to 
mail them after shipment has been made. 
NOTICES will be mailed you upon receipt of your order if we are unable to make 
immediate shipment. If we can fill your order within one week of its receipt, no 
notice will be sent you. Invoices are mailed the day that shipment is made, 
therefore no additional notice is necessary.
