GUARANTEE AND TERMS OF SALE 
We guarantee our stock to be true to name properly dug and 
prepared for shipment. 
We will cheerfully replace any tree, shrub or other plant at 
any time should it prove untrue to name. However, it is understood 
and agreed that we will not be held liable for a greater amount 
than the original purchase price of such untrue to name stock. 
We further agree to replace any deciduous tree, shrub or vine 
that fails to grow (from natural causes) after being properly 
planted and cared for providing:—we are notified before the first 
of August following planting and that the stock is allowed to 
stand as planted so that we may examine it should we so desire. 
It is specifically understood that we do not guarantee the 
livability of any evergreen tree or shrub. All evergreen stock is 
carefully balled and burlapped and we exercise every precaution 
to place such material in the hands of the purchaser in proper 
condition for planting but—due to the many conditions over which 
we have no control—we cannot accept responsibility for loss after 
acceptance by the purchaser. 
Our perennials are guaranteed to be delivered in healthy 
growing condition. If they are not they should be returned to us 
immediately for adjustment or replacement. With the knowledge 
that perennials are lost from either delay in unpacking and plant- 
ing or improper planting and maintenance, which are conditions 
over which we have no control, we cannot honor claims for 
adjustment or replacement unless they are received within two 
days after delivery of the goods. 
When delivery is made by common carrier, our liability for 
damage in transit ceases upon acceptance by such common carrier 
and any claims for damage while in transit shall be made direct 
to the carrier handling the stock. 
We hold ourselves liable only for the original amount paid us 
for the stock and it is agreed that we will not be requested nor 
required to replace any stock, for any reason whatever, until such 
stock is paid for in full. . 
Fall shipments are made in October, November and December. 
Spring shipments March, April and May according to locality, 
weather and other conditions. Departure and arrival, however, are 
not guaranteed at any specified time or season. 
It is agreed that any nursery stock ordered by the purchaser 
becomes the purchaser's property upon its delivery to the premises 
of purchaser be it the whole or any part of the order. 
We book all orders with the understanding that same shall be 
void should injury befall the stock from freezing, flood, drouth, 
fire, or other causes beyond our control.
