SHIPPING 
All material offered in this catalog is perishable to a greater or less extent 
and the items vary considerably in weight and bulk. It therefore becomes 
necessary to use different methods of transportation to fit the particular 
item as well as to insure safe delivery. 
All items marked ‘Postpaid’’ will be sent prepaid to any office in the 
United States. 
By express or freight, the charges are not prepaid, but are collectible 
at destination. All packing is done thoroughly and substantially, and 
without charge. 
_ Perennials, strawberries and certain other particularly perishable 
plants are never sent by freight. 
Orders for stock from the nursery will be shipped at the proper time 
for transplanting or as soon as possible after order is received. Our land 
is cooled and vegetation kept dormant by proximity to Lake Erie, several 
weeks later than other sections, even close by. This enables us to dig 
and ship stock in perfect condition after trees are in full leaf in most 
other sections. 
OUR: GUARANTEE 
All trees, plants, seeds and other goods sold by us are guaranteed to 
reach our customers in good condition, and we will promptly replace 
any item not so received, provided we are notified immediately, giving 
description of condition upon arrival. If plants are damaged in transit, 
also notify carrier immediately. 
Non-Warranty. We give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to 
description, quality, growth, productiveness, or any other matter, of 
any stock we sell. It is mutually agreed that our total liability for untrue- 
ness to name shall be limited upon satisfactory proof, to free replacement, 
or refund of the purchase price plus interest. 
Our plants are healthy and vigorous when we send them out, but 
since they are living organisms, they are subject to injury from natural 
causes as well as improper planting and maintenance. We do not, 
therefore, guarantee continued growth and we know you would not 
expect us to replace plants lost in your garden’due to conditions beyond 
our control.
