2 CUMBERLAND VALLEY NURSERIES, INC. 
TERMS AND CONDITION OF SALE 
Regardless of increased costs of production, (our 
labor costs have doubled over what they were last 
season and other costs have advanced proportion- 
ately) you will find very little increase in our 
prices. We have made them as low as possible 
for your benefit. Higher priced trees cannot be 
better; lower priced trees must be ‘inferior in 
some ways. Consider the quality of trees you buy, 
and the reputation of nursery from whom you 
buy. Thrifty, hardy, dependable planting stock 
leads to success. This cancels all former lists. 
Varieties: Our listing of New Varieties and Se- 
lected Types of Older Varieties point the way to 
greater production, greater consumer satisfaction, 
greater profits to the grower. We propagate our 
stock under careful conditions, and are careful to 
keep each variety true to name, being ready at all 
times to replace, upon proper proof, any that 
prove otherwise. Further than this we are not 
responsible. 
Shipping Season: We begin filling orders about 
October 15th, and continue shipping during the 
entire fall, winter, and spring until about May Ist, 
or as long as stock remains dormant. We pride 
ourselves on making prompt delivery, but some- 
times during rush season it is impossible to handle 
orders just as they come in, and we must ask 
your indulgence for a week or so. We keep close 
check on weather conditions in every part of the 
country, and shipment will be made just as 
promptly as possible and in proper season. If 
time of shipment is left to us, we can assure our 
customers of receiving stock in perfect condition. 
Guarantee: We guarantee to pack and ship good ~ 
clean thrifty, well-grown trees and plants in good 
growing condition, and under ordinary conditions, 
if properly transplanted and cared for, will grow. 
However, we cannot guarantee trees to grow, be- 
cause there are so many reasons for their failure 
beyond our control, such as improper planting, 
over-fertilization, droughts, floods, frosts, etc. 
Claims, if any, must be made within ten days 
after receipt of stock. 
Receiving Stock in Cold Weather: In the event 
that it should turn cold after your stock has been 
shipped to you and there is a possibility that there 
is frost in the package, put the shipment where 
the temperature is above freezing, a cellar or 
frost-proof building, and do not disturb for 5 to 7 
days, at which time stock can be removed from 
box or bundle in first-class condition. Under no 
circumstances should you open a box when you 
think there is frost in it, for if the air strikes 
nursery stock in frozen condition it will kill it. 
But if allowed to thaw out in the package, the 
stock will not be injured. 
Shipping: Very small trees and plants may be 
sent parcel post, and where this method of han- 
dling is desired, add 20% to amount of order to 
cover. Larger trees and plants must be shipped 
by Express, Freight, or Truck. Where no pref- 
erence is given, we will ship what we consider 
best way for safe and prompt delivery. 
Terms: Our terms are cash with order, unless 
C.O.D. shipment is desired, in which case send
