Business Notices 
1. Shipping Season for all trees and plants extends 
from about November 25 to April 15. Plants B&B 
(taken up with ball of earth), especially all Ever- 
greens, can be planted every month with equally good 
results one time as another. 
Texas State certificate of inspection is attached to 
every shipment. 
2. GUARANTEE. We guarantee safe arrival, in 
good condition, of our stock, and beg to be notified 
if it is otherwise. Complaint must be made on re~ 
ceipt of goods. We also guarantee every plant to be 
healthy and true to name. If any should prove not 
to be, we will return amount paid for such, or fur- 
nish another tree. But it is agreed and understood 
that we shall not be liable to purchaser for further 
claim or damage. 
38. TERMS OF SALE, Cash with order or C.O.D., 
unless otherwise agreed beforehand. We accept checks, 
4. Customer pays express or freight. Prices have 
been reduced to make this to the advantage of the 
buyer. Add ten per cent of amount of order to cover 
postage and extra packing for parcel post shipment 
in Texas; 15 per cent, to other states. 
Transportation costs on bare-root trees and plants 
(fruit trees, roses, shades, small flowering shrubs, 
etc.) are small, but if the customer wants us to pre- 
pay the charges, please add ten per cent to your order 
if to be shipped anywhere in Texas and fifteen per 
cent if to adjoining States. 
Parcel Post shipment of large numbers of trees can . 
be made; in fact, all trees and plants, except Pecan 
larger than four feet, Shade Trees, and Evergreens 
B. & B., that is, taken up with ball of earth. 
_5. Replacement of trees or plants that die within 
six months after being planted will be made at half 
price, provided reasonable care be given them. 
6. SELECTION OF VARIETIES. Unless partic- 
ular varieties are wanted, it is a good idea to leave 
selection to us, as we know the needs of all sections, 
and will select the best. If we are out of a variety 
ordered, we will substitute another as good or better, 
unless requested not to do so. 
7. Call on us for information about horticultural 
problems. 
8. LANDSCAPE SERVICE will be provided to 
help those who may not know what to plant, or how 
to arrange for best effect. 
9. TRANSPORTATION. Express and parcel post 
are the means mostly used, but for larger shipments 
freight service is now fast and economical, whether 
by railroad or truck line. Delivery also is available 
by our own trucks for considerable distances. 
10. PRUNING. Most trees and plants require 
pruning when planted. We will prune ready for 
planting if requested. Plants sent by parcel post 
are always pruned somewhat. 
B&B trees (Balled and Burlapped—taken up with 
ball of earth around roots) vary in weight to such 
an extent that we cannot give a definite per cent 
for prepayment, but our prices are low enough to 
justify shipping for considerable distance. When re- 
quested, we shall be glad to give estimate or guaranty 
of transportation cost. 
FIGURE PRICES AND SAVE MONEY 
Notice rates for quantites, 1 to 6, 7 to 29, 30 to 100. 
1. Any number of all kinds of fruit trees may be used to obtain total quantity rates: 
Peach, Plum, Cherry, Nectarine, Plum-Cherry, Fig, Apple, Mulberry, Apricot, Jujube, 
Pear, Persimmon. 
2. Pecan and Shade Trees may be combined. 
3. Bulbs and Perennials may be combined. 
4. Flowering Shrubs and Yuccas may be combined. 
OTHER GROUPS may not be combined, but all varieties under any group will take 
quantity rate. For instance, seven Evergreens, both Coniferous and Broad-leaf, of one 
or several different varieties, will take quantity rate of 7 to 29. 
DORMANT-BUDDED FRUIT TREES 
Our fruit trees have two-year-old roots, and one-year-old tops, the best possible age 
for transplanting. These are in contrast to JUNE-BUDDED trees, which have roots eight 
months old and tops five months and which we do not consider strong enough for most 
parts of the Southwest. 
GROW PEACHES FOR TABLE AND MARKET 
With most people, the PEACH is the favorite fruit. It may well be called the 
QUEEN OF FRUITS. Fortunate it is that in all parts of Texas and the Southwest, 
peaches can be grown; and, in the more adapted Peach section, the finest fruit that 
can be produced in the world. 
Successful Peach and Plum growing depends greatly on the selection of proper 
varieties. Texas and other parts of the Southwest of similar latitude give as wide a 
range of variety requirements as the territory from the Gulf Coast to the most Northern 
States. 
Therefore we give below the distinct sections or areas, numbered sea and 3, and 
these numbers appear after the varieties listed. Many varieties are adapted in two or 
three sections. 
1. South and Southwest Texas, and Gulf Coast. j 
2. North, East, and Central Texas, and below Foot of Plains. 
3. Plains of Texas. 
Sections of other states corresponding in latitude will require the same varieties.
