TERMS OF BUSINESS 
LOCATION. Our office and nurseries are located on U.S. 
Highway 41, six miles north of Sulphur Springs on North 
Nebraska Ave., 14 mile south of Apex. Mailing address: 
Jack O. Holmes, Inc., P.O. Box 417, Tampa 1, Fla. 
Phone: 332261. 
CASH or half cash must accompany all orders for imme- 
diate delivery or shipment. On reserve orders booked 
in advance of the shipping season, 25 per cent down will be 
required, with the balance due when the shipping season 
opens. Reserve orders are accepted only upon condition 
that they shall be void should injury befall the stock be- 
fore shipment from any causes not under our control. 
Stock retained at our nurseries long enough to grow to a 
larger grade will be billed accordingly at shipping time. 
All labor costs are based on normal digging. There will 
be an additional charge when objects are encountered 
which entail extra labor, such as rocks and stumps. 
SHIPMENTS. State clearly when ordering how you 
prefer shipment made— by Express, Freight, Truck- 
line, or Parcel Post. Most of our small shipments go 
by Express. [If you omit instructions, we will use our 
best judgment. Be sure to add 20 per cent to all orders 
to cover packing charges. The transportation charge 
will be collect on delivery; Parcel Post charges bill 
additional. 

SHIPPING SEASON. Bare-root plants are shipped from 
November to February, pot-grown plants at any time. 
Balled and Burlapped plants are available except in 
July, August, and September. We will not make sub- 
stitutions unless you instruct us to do so. 
DELIVERY by our trucks outside of suburban Tampa: 
orders for plants over $25.00, 15c per mile, round-trip 
basis. 
PLANTING TIME. Citrus trees for home planting, bare 
root and B&B, are easily moved beginning in October 
and through November, December, January, and 
February. For the past two warm seasons citrus trees 
have put out heavy new growth and bloomed in February 
which made it hard for the trees to get reestablished. 
Plant early for best results. Roses are best planted in 
December and January; bare-root, dormant fruit trees 
and deciduous plants in November, December, and 
January (December and January are best); camellias 
and azaleas preferably from October to February; big 
trees, oaks and magnolias in December and January. 
Potted and tub-grown plants can be moved at any time 
of the year. 
OUR GUARANTEE. We guarantee everything we sell 
to be true to name, properly rooted, well grown, properly 
packed, and shipped according to instruction. Our 
liability under the foregoing guarantee is limited in 
amount to the original price received. We sell no nurs- 
ery stock under a guarantee to live, except potted and 
balled plants. These we agree to replace at not less than 
90 per cent of the purchase price during the following 
planting season, should any die from causes other than 
complete neglect. 90-DAY LIMIT ON GUARANTEES. 
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY BARE-ROOT 
A OR TREES. ALL ARE PRICED ACCORD- 
CLAIMS. Ifany errors should occur, they will be promptly 
rectified, provided claims are made within ten days after

above, ceases upon delivery of nursery stock in good 
condition to the public carrier.
