PACKING, boxing or baling is charged at actual 
cost. When cash accompanies order, please allow suf- 
ficient extra to cover packing; otherwise, same will

that we shall not be l‘able in event of crop loss, or of 
damage from other causes over which we have no con- 
trol. We will gladly correct any errors, but we can- 
not entertain any claims that are not made within five 
days after receipt of the stock or are made after the 
stock has once been accepted. Claims should be made 
promptly in writing on receipt of stock. Plants become 
your property upon delivery to transportation company 
and we cannot be responsible for loss, damage, or delay 
in transit. All orders booked are based on the dis- 
tinct understanding that the purchaser agrees to the 
condition of sales as stated above. 
GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS: We will send 
out healthy, thrifty stock, true to name. If any nur- 
sery stock proves untrue to description or variety 
name under which it is sold, we hold ourselves in read- 
iness, on proper proof, to replace free of charge such 
stock that may prove untrue to description or name, 
or refund the original amount paid. We shall in no 
case be liable for any sum greater than the amount 
originally received for said stock.

and contracts are subject to priorities, covering ma- 
terial, transportation, and labor, and any other restric- 
tions that may hinder or prevent us from performing 
on such agreements. 
ORDERS are always individually filled with fresh 
dug stock. Our customers appreciate the fact that we 
do not ship them stock that has dried out in the storage 
house. 
We are located 28 miles northwest of Baltimore, Md.

cordially invite you to visit our nurseries.
