GUARANTEE 
We guarantee all of our nursery stock to be as represented in our catalog; fully up to — 
grade, of good quality, free from disease, and absolutely true-to-name; also to reach 
the customer alive, and in good growing condition. Furthermore, we will, at our option, 
either replace free of charge, or refund purchase price paid on any stock that arrives in 
bad condition; providing complaint is made within ten days from arrival of shipment 
and accompanied by a signed statement from the express agent at destination, showing 
extent of loss or damage. After ten days from arrival of shipment, if no complaint has 
been made, it is assumed and mutually agreed that the stock is satisfactory. It is also 
agreed between the customer and ourselves that in no event can we be held liable for a 
sum greater than the original purchase price paid. Beyond this our liability ceases. 
Remember, trees, plants and vines are living things, subject to attacks by insects, 
drought and disease. Continued growth depends upon proper planting and care, soil 
and climatic conditions—over which we have no control—hence cannot be guaranteed. 
It is understood and agreed between the customer and ourselves that the purchaser's 
order and our acknowledgment of its receipt, shall constitute a mutual acceptance of 
the above terms and conditions.
