disappointed in getting just what you want. Early cash 
buyers will find our Cash Discounts most attractive and 
worth while. See page 3 of this catalog. 
SHIPPING SEASON. We begin shipping the last of 
March or first of April, according to season, and continue 
until about May 13th. We do not advise our customers to 
order stock for shipment after this date. We can fill fall 
orders and make shipment soon as stock matures, which is 
around October 15th, depending on season. 
TERMS. Cash with order. However, if you prefer, you 
may send a small down payment with your order and the 
balance any time before you wish shipment made. Orders 
amounting to $5.00 or more, for shipment before May 1st, 
will be shipped C. O. D. provided 25 per cent of the 
amount is remitted with order. No orders will be booked 
or stock res erved unless part payment is made with order 
REMITTANCE. Always remit by personal check, express 
or post office money order, bank draft, or registered letter. 
Never send currency in letter without registering, as we

NOTE. Should the United States, or any state, increase 
by taxes, legislative acts, inflation, or in any other way be.' 
yond our control, the cost or selling price of nursery stock 
listed in this catalog, we reserve the right to add to our 
quoted prices to cover such increase. 
EXPRESS SHIPMENTS. For most orders express is the 
safest, and, all things considered, the best way to have your 
nursery stock shipped. All express orders are shipped cob 
lect for transportation charges. All shipments of nursery 
stock by express now travel at second class rate, making 
charges about 25 per cent cheaper than formerly. 
PARCEL POST SHIPMENTS. Many of our small orders 
are shipped by parcel post but we do not recommend it for 
any but very small orders, as it is much more expensive than 
express on large orders or for long distances. By referring 
to the table below you may determine the amount of money 
you must add to your order for postage. If postage is not 
included with your remittance we will assume that you wish 
us to ship C. O. D. for exact postage required.
