TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS: i 
__ We wish to express our appreciation for your splen- 
did patronage in keeping with us during the past trying 
year. We have tried our best to give you the best in 
products and service; in spite of the scarcity of labor 
and the trying frost and freezes the past spring; to the 
prolonged drought of mid-July to mid-September; we 
have tried to comply with your high standards of quality. 
We also feel sure, however, that you would not expect 
us to replace plants whose failure to grow was caused 
by the above conditions mentioned. 
We especially thank all of you who have recommend- 
ed and will recommend our plants to your friends and 
neighbors. We are very grateful. We will continue to do 
our best to please them as we have pleased you. 
In presenting this, our 1948 Spring and Fall Cata- 
logue, we are offering a few Special Collections; and we 
would be glad to hear, how. you like them! You will 
also’ notice that we have listed our perennials in groups 
of three or more of one kind; as this tends to give a 
more effective garden display. 
Visitors are always welcome. Our Gardens are lo- 
cated at Fremont, Nebraska, on East Military Avenue; 
one-half mile East of City limits; the first house East of 
Garden City School on South side of the highway. Come 
often and enjoy our flowers. It is always a pleasure to 
show them. All stock is State Inspected. Cut flowers 
sold in season. 
Terms—Please note, that Cash must accompany all 
orders from parties unknown to us. Remittance may be 
made either by stamps; postal or express money orders; 
bank drafts; registered letter for cash; or personal check. 
On orders amounting to less than $1.50, kindly add 25c 
to cover postage and packing charges. All orders $1.50 
and over, we prepay all charges. We will ship by parcel 
post, unless otherwise desired. However, if express ship- 
ment is received in bad condition, file claim with your 
Express Agent. No C. O. D. Orders Considered. 
Guarantee—We do guarantee safe arrival of plants 
in good condition; but due to the fact that we have no 
control over the plants after they leave our hands, we 
cannot therefore guarantee them to grow. No claims for 
errors allowed unless made within ten days after receipt 
of goods. We express or imply no warranty as to pro- 
_ ductiveness of nursery stock we sell. If any nursery stock, 
_ etc. proves untrue to description-under which it is sold, 
we hold ourselves in readiness on proper proof, to re- 
| place all such nursery stock, etc.; but we shall in no 
case be liable for any sum greater than the amount orig- 
_inally received for said nursery stock. 
Flowers depend a great deal on the composition of 
soils. A good gardener is not surprised if plants vary 
‘somewhat in shades of color from descriptions in a 
- catalogue. 
We accept all orders subject to crop conditions and 
on condition that same shall be void should injury befall 
our stock from hail, fire, frost, error in count, or other 
causes beyond our control. We appreciate all orders; 
we give all orders, large or small, the same careful con- 
sideration in plants and packing.
