CANCELLATION. 
Orders are not subject to cancellation or change during the 
shipping season. 
Stock not returnable for credit. We accept no obligation or re- 
sponsibility for the return of any stock, unsatisfactory or otherwise, without our 
first having given instructions for the return of same. 
SHIPPING INFORMATION. All nursery stock should be shipped by either express 
or parcel post. Other methods of transportation are too slow and uncertain for 
such perishable material. Except on very small shipments, transportation charges 
by express are usually less than by parcel post. Also, customer receives the added 
convenience of being able to pay actual transportation charges at destination with 
no added collection charge. , 
PARCEL POST SHIPMENTS. If parce post is the only convenient method of frans- 
portation, be sure to add to your remittance an ample amount to cover postal charges, 
thereby eliminating C. O. D. and money order fees, which are required on C. O. D’ 
shipments. We recommend express wherever convenient. 
Customer stands trans- 
portation costs on all purchases excepting those quoted in catalog at prepaid prices. 
All other items are sent either by parcel post, or express collect. 
CLAIMS. All claims covering condition upon arrival, shortages or otherwise. 
MUST BE MADE WITHIN TEN DAYS AFTER ARRIVAL OF SHIPMENT. If no com- 
plaint is made within that time, it will be assumed that shipment is satisfactory. 
If shipment arrives in damaged condition, be sure to secure signed statement from 
the express agent or postmaster af destination, showing full extent of loss or dam- 
age. Claims cannot be considered without this information.
