|Your Confidence in Wayside 
_ We appreciate your confidence in ordering from us— 
and reciprocate this confidence by our guarantees. Based 
on many years’ experience we have worked out systems 
for handling orders expeditiously and correctly with a 
| minimum of annoyance to the customer. 
However, you can help us, and enable us to give you 
the best possible service, if you will order early. 
When to Order 
Early planting and successful results go hand in hand. 
Plant as soon as the soil in your garden is in a workable 
condition. Transplant plants while they are dormant. 
Order early if possible, it takes time to carefully pre- 
pare your order for shipment. 
Plants Are Freshly Dug 
Each order is dug fresh from the field and stock is 
shipped immediately after it has been packed, that 
same day. There is no loss of root strength or vitality. 
It is this class of stock and prompt service that has 
made Wayside Gardens the best liked and most reliable 
nursery in this country. 
Report Errors Promptly (Always Give DATE of 
Order) 
Errors are possible during rush periods. Therefore, 
check over plants immediately upon receipt. If any 
_ plants or bulbs have been damaged while in transit, or 
if shortages occur, notify us promptly, giving date of 
_ order, carefully state quantities and variety names, and 
_ correction will be made immediately, or new stock sent 
without charge for that which might be damaged. We 
_ desire that you have nothing but the best. 
_ Small Purchases 
We have based our prices of plants, roses, shrubs, and 
bulbs in this catalog on the assumption that orders re- 
ceived will be $3.00 in value or more. If your purchase 
is for a lesser amount it will be a privilege to serve you, 
but please add 35 cents service charge to your remit- 
tance. Handling small orders in any nursery requires 
a great amount of labor and is very expensive. Orders 
for less than $3.00 for seeds, sundries, or books do not 
require this extra 35-cent service charge.

NEW CUSTOMERS ARE INVITED TO READ THIS PAGE BEFORE ORDERING 
The business of Wayside Gardens is conducted each year with many customers—and is 
based upon confidence and co-operation. By its very nature most of our shipping must be 
done during only a few weeks in each year. At the peak, hundreds of orders are filled daily. 
Shipping Directions Are Desirable 
All plants and bulbs will be shipped at the proper time 
for planting in your locality. This often requires two or 
more shipments. If there is a special date on which you 
would like to receive your order, mention it on the order 
blank. Shipments will be made by parcel post or express, 
at our option, unless specific instructions are received. 
Convenient Remittances 
Your remittance and your order will be acknowledged 
when received. Checks, money orders or bank drafts 
ey be used. Currency should be sent only by registered 
mail. 
C. O. D.—We will gladly forward your purchase col- 
lect on delivery, if desired. 
Wayside’s Guarantee 
We guarantee each order we send out to be in first 
class condition. We guarantee each shipment to reach 
you safely and undamaged. We guarantee to replace 
any of our products that do not come up to our claims 
and descriptions, or to refund your money in full, includ- 
ing any and all transportation charges paid by you. 
Replacements 
We guarantee each flowering plant will bloom if given 
reasonable care. Of course, you would not expect us to 
replace plants lost due to uncontrollable weather condi- 
tions, carelessness, neglect or inexperience. No com- 
plaints can be entertained three months after delivery. 
Transportation Charges 
It is impossible to predetermine the size and weight 
of roses, shrubs, or hardy plants; therefore, transporta- 
tion charges are not included in the purchase price. All 
seeds are delivered free. 
A notice of the correct amount of postage we have 
advanced will be found inside the package, which you 
can refund us in postage stamps at your convenience. 
Unlike Other Commodities, Nursery Products Are Ordered In Advance
