TERMS 
PRICES in this booklet are for the trade only. Prices to private estates and 
others outside the trade will be 20 per cent additional. 
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY CUTTINGS, or more, of any one variety, are billed at 
the 1,000 rate. Fewer than 250 of one variety will be billed at the 100 rate. 
SMALL ORDERS. Due to the serious shortage of labor and of shipping con- 
iainers, we can accept no order for fewer than 1090 cuttings, or for fewer than 
50 cuttings of any one variety. 
DISCOUNTS. We allow a 5 per cent discount if cash accompanies the order. 
A discount of 2 per cent is allowed if payment is made within ten days of the 
date of shipment. 
PAYMENTS must be made on the first of the month following the date of in- 
voice unless special terms have been arranged. 
CREDIT will gladly be extended to worthy greenhouse operators. If you require 
more than thirty days in which to make payment, arrangements should be made 
with us previous to shipment. Unless previous arrangements have been made, 
accounts will be placed for collection at the end of sixty days. 
CLAIMS must be in writing to us WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER RECEIPT OF 
SHIPMENT, or stock must be returned to us within that same period of time. 
We are not responsible for damage to stock in transit. If stock is frozen, crushed 
or otherwise damaged in transit, claim should be brought against the transporta- 
tion company. If you think that our stock is not as it should be, let us know at 
once. Do not experiment with, it and later advise us that it was not satisfactory. 
No claims will be entertained unless the stock is returned immediately, or unless 
complaints are mailed to us within 24 hours after the shipment has been received. 
CARRIAGE AND PACKING. No charge is made for packing, but carriage 
charges are paid for by the purchaser in all cases. All prices are F. O. B. 
Saugus, Mass. 
SHIPMENTS will be made by Railway Express except in the case of European 
orders or unless we are otherwise instructed. In most cases, this is the most 
economical and satisfactory method of shipping. If your express office is differ- 
ent than your postoffice, be sure to advise us. 
FOREIGN ORDERS must be accompanied by cash with allowance for carriage 
charges and differences in exchange. Foreign orders should be paid for with 
International Money Orders or drafts on a U. S. bank. Difference in exchange 
and the cost of cashing foreign checks often amount to a considerable sum. If 
special permits are necessary, these should be secured and forwarded to us with 
the order. We have shipped plants successfully to all parts of the world, but very 
often delays and expense may be avoided by a word of advice from a purchaser 
regarding customs requirements, best routes, etc. 
BEETLE CERTIFICATES are not required on shipments of greenhouse grown 
cuttings rooted in sand when shipped either inside or outside of the quarantine 
area. However, if you feel that you must have a certificate, we will be glad to 
issue one when it is requested PREVIOUS TO SHIPMENT. We are not allowed 
to mail them AFTER shipment has been made. 
NOTICES will be mailed you upon receipt of your order if we are unable to 
make immediate shipment. If we can ship your order within one week of its 
receipt, no notice will be sent you. Due to the tremendous demand for cuttings, 
the large backlog of orders and uncertain labor supply, we cannot always 
promise definite shipping dates. Orders will be shipped in rotation as rapidly 
as possible. Notice of shipment will be mailed to you the day your order is 
pecked. Please be on the lookout for your order, and if it does not arrive 
within a reasonable time after you have received our notice of shipment, advise 
us at once.
