OUR POLICY 
We are not peddlers of nursery stock. With few exceptions, 
all the plants sold by us are those which we have grown our¬ 
selves here in Colorado. We are able to produce plants which are 
incomparably better than those which have been shipped in, 
“heeled in’’ for weeks, or stored for months in a cellar. The trees 
and shrubs which we raise in our good soil and climate, and with 
plenty of room and water are always better; usually having more 
than twice the roots and top than a plant of the same rated size 
raised in the east. Then we are able to dig these plants freshly 
as ordered, keep the roots carefully protected, and hurry them 
back in to the ground in their new location within a few hours. 
We are always very particular about digging a plant with lots 
of roots and keeping these roots fresh until replanted. 
This system does pay, as we usually produce results the first 
year with plantings of our stock which would take two or three 
years with shipped in stock. 
Prices and Terms 
Prices quoted in this catalog are for the plants dug, delivered 
in Denver or vicinity and guaranteed. 
We will expect cash as soon as convenient after the goods are 
delivered or work completed, as these prices do not include the 
cost of running accounts. However, as this work is so seasonable 
and must either be done during a short planting season or wait 
another year, we can usually make some arrangement so that 
you can make what plantings your year’s budget will permit at the 
proper time and pay as your income comes in. 
DISCOUNTS 
We will allow a discount of 5% on all orders amounting to 
$10.00 or more if received before April 1st, and 10% on early orders 
of $100.00 or more. 
Appropriate discounts can be made to dealers, professional 
landscape men, or others who will share our costs by buying in 
large quantities, by digging and delivering, or waiving guarantee. 
These discounts effective only when bill is paid promptly. 
PLANTING CHARGE 
When it is desired to have us plant an order, a planting 
charge of 25% of the cost of the material will be made. This is 
the average actual cost. It does cost more to handle stock the 
way we do. We guarantee stock only as to its condition at de¬ 
livery unless we plant it ourselves. 
When plants are ordered late in the season after they have 
started to leaf out we will not guarantee them unless they are 
ordered balled and burlapped. This costs from 25% to 50%.
