GUARANTEE 
We guarantee all stock sold by us to be true to name, 
carefully grown and full of life. When these plants are 
planted by us and are given reasonable care, we guarantee 
that they will live and grow. 
If you will notify us of any plants which have not 
made proper growth we will replace them at the next plant¬ 
ing season, charging you only for the actual cost of plant¬ 
ing, which will average 25% of the purchase price. 
As we can not govern the later care that you may give 
these plants we accept no responsibility for those which 
“go bad” after July first. 
We guarantee any of our plants which may be planted 
by yourself or others only as to their good condition at the 
time of delivery to you. 
Plants ordered after they have started to leaf out are 
not guaranteed unless they are ordered B&B (balled and 
burlapped). An extra charge of from 25% to 50% is 
necessary when this is done. 
LAWNS ___ 
Lawns old or new are mostly a headache to us, but someone 
has to do the work. There are so many invisible thing’s which 
should be done in making a new lawn that it makes it difficult to 
put one in as we know it should be done and compete in price with 
the “ash-hauler” lawn men. Preparation of the ground is very im¬ 
portant. The average cost of a new lawn will run around 2c per 
square foot under normal conditions. We will consider putting in 
new lawns when a complete landscape job is wanted, but we do 
not attempt to compete in price with the cheap men and will 
not agree to put in a lawn at a loss as an inducement to get your 
nursery order. You pay for a good lawn sooner or later anyhow, 
so it is better to have a good one at the start. Lawns put in 
right, definitely do look better and save maintenance costs as 
the years go by. 
We do not supply “lawn men” to cut and water your lawn. 
An experienced gardener is worth more than the average home 
owner is willing to pay.
