2 CUMBERLAND VALLEY NURSERIES, INC. 
TERMS AND CONDITION OF SALE 
Regardless of increased costs of production (our 
labor costs have doubled over what they were last 
season, and other costs have advanced proportion- 
ately), you will find very little increase in our 
prices. We have made them as low as possible for 
your benefit. Higher priced trees cannot be better; 
lower priced trees must be inferior in some ways. 
Consider the quality of trees you buy and the 
reputation of the nursery from whom you buy. 
Thrifty, hardy, dependable planting stock leads to 
success. This cancels all former lists. 
Varieties: Our listing of New Varieties and Se- 
lected Types of Older Varieties point the way to 
greater production, greater consumer satisfaction, 
and greater profits to the grower. We propagate 
our stock under careful conditions and are careful 
to keep each variety true to name, being ready at 
all times to replace, upon proper proof, any that 
proves otherwise. Further than this, we are not 
responsible. 
Shipping Season: We begin filling orders about 
October 15th and continue shipping during the en- 
tire fall, winter, and spring until about May Ist, 
or as long as stock remains dormant. We pride 
ourselves on making prompt delivery, but some- 
times during the rush season it is impossible to 
handle orders just as they come in, and we must 
ask your indulgence for a week or so. We strongly 
recommend Fall planting where possible. 
Guarantee: Every tree and plant we ship is guar- 
anteed to be strictly first class, free from injurious 
diseases and insects, and to reach you in good con- 
dition. Any time trees or plants are received that 
do not meet these standards, they will be replaced 
free of charge or your money refunded. Continued 
growth depends on soil, weather conditions, plant- 
ing, and aftercare. After ten days it is mutually 
understood that the nursery stock is satisfactory; 
however, we will replace nursery stock that dies 
from unavoidable causes at half price, if notified 
within two months after its arrival. 
Beware of Frost: Treatment of Nursery Stock 
received during frosty weather: Place box or bales 
in a cool cellar, or some such place, and let thaw 
out gradually. Don’t handle plants until frost is 
out. Don’t be in a hurry to open, as stock can re- 
main in this condition for several days, if packages 
are covered to exclude the air. Stock can then be 
unpacked for planting, or be stored under proper 
conditions. There will be no damage to stock if 
handled properly when received. 
Transportation: All orders, unless otherwise spec- 
ified, travel at the cost and risk of the purchaser. 
Where shipment of small sizes by parcel post is de- 
sired, add 20 per cent to your order to cover postage. 
Any excess funds will be returned to you. Due to 
war conditions, all freight, especially less carload 
lots, is moving slower than formerly. Motor freight 
to some points is satisfactory where numerous trans- 
fers are not necessary. However, we strongly rec- 
ommend express shipment in most instances. We 
are now allowed second-class express rate on nur- 
sery stock, which gives you both quick and econom- 
ical transportation. Please specify method of ship- 
ment; otherwise, we will use our best judgment.
