GENERAL INFORMATION 
PRICES in this catalogue cancel all previous listings and 
are subject to change without notice. Prices include loading 
on trucks at our nurseries, or are F.O.B. our shipping station. 
Except on very small packages shipped by parcel post, 
practically all material for shipment (by freight or express) 
must be packed in wooden boxes, in which case an addi- 
tional charge will be made covering actual cost of material 
and labor. 
DELIVERIES—We will endeavor to make truck deliveries 
within a reasonable radius of Ridgefield when and as 
availability of equipment and manpower permits. Charges 
for such service are based on the quantity of material in- 
volved and the distance same is to be transported. For 
transporting small orders within 20 to 50 miles of Ridgefield 
and for shipments to greater distances weighing not over 
300 pounds, express shipment is fairly rapid and therefore 
most practical. Freight shipments of heavier materials in 
car lots or less, will be promptly executed. 
CLAIMS—When stock is not delivered by our truck, our 
responsibility ceases upon delivery of material to the trans- 
portation company in good condition. Claims for damage 
while stock is in transit should be made promptly to the 
transportation company. 
TERMS—tThirty days net to those whose responsibility is 
known to us, unless other arrangements are made at time 
of acceptance of order. All accounts are payable to Outpost 
Nurseries, Inc., and not to individuals. 
B&B—Some plant materials may be planted successfully 
with bare roots, as indicated throughout this book. Other 
plant materials in certain sizes and varieties require digging 
with a ball of soil, so as not to disturb the root system. 
This ball of earth is securely wrapped and laced in burlap. 
This operation is referred to as ‘‘balling and burlapping” 
—B&B. Large and heavy balls are mounted on platforms. 
All prices which include balling and burlapping are 
based on what we consider a ‘‘normal” ball, i.e., that 
sufficient for successful transplanting; caliper and/or size 
of the tree or plant considered. 
Balls of greater diameter and depth than those normally 
used will be furnished where requested BUT AT A PRO- 
PORTIONATE ADDITIONAL COST. 
GUARANTEE—It is our aim to furnish only material which 
is in a healthy growing condition. Any item found other- 
wise upon delivery will be promptly exchanged or credited 
if returned to us at once. Because of the many factors over 
which we have no control, we can not assume responsi- 
bility for the life or productiveness of materials planted - 
by others. (Please note paragraph above re: claims.)
