SHIPPING 
CHARGES 
We reserve the right 
to make shipment. of 
your order by the method 
we deem best to assure 
safe arrival. When we 
ship by Express you are 
to pay charges to your 
agent upon arrival. Such 
small items as we some- 
times send by Parcel Post 
will be sent prepaid. 
PLEASE NOTE 
The earlier you get your order in to us the better. This enables us to 
take care of the necessary clerical work on orders during the winter 
before the rush of the spring shipping season. This amounts to a say- 
ing with us and we are glad to show our appreciation b llowi 
to select FREE GIFTS. is eee 
Remember these gifts apply only to cash orders of $10.00 or over, 
and your order must be postmarked March 15th or before. Free stock 
must be listed and sent in with your original order as it is impossible 
for us to hunt out orders and attach lists of free stock after orders are 
filed for shipping. Any orders listing free items which are postmarked 
after March 15th will be shipped without free stock. In the past we 
have been rather fenient on this matter, but shortages of stock and 
labor conditions make it necessary that we hold to the March 15th 
deadline. The premiums are given for early orders and those coming 
g season has opened cannot be classified as early 
Free stock may be selected from any items in this book. 
NURSERY STOCK GUARANTEE 
We guarantee that each plant shall be true-to-name, otherwise 
we will replace free of charge or refund purchase price of any 
proven not to be so. We guarantee that each plant shall be of a 
size and quality as described in this catalog, and that plants will 
reach the customer in good condition. 
IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WHEN YOUR ORDER REACHES 
YOU, RETURN STOCK AT ONCE AND WE WILL REFUND YOUR 
MONEY TOGETHER WITH ANY TRANSPORTATION CHARGES 
YOU HAVE PAID. AFTER STOCK IS ACCEPTED AND PLANTED 
IT IS ASSUMED TO BE SATISFACTORY. Remember, a plant is a 
living thing, the same as any animal or human being. It feeds, 
drinks and breathes, and is subject to attacks by insects, diseases 
and drought; hence, we do not guarantee growth of plants after 
planting. 
Stock lost after planting will be replaced at one-half the price 
peid the following season, provided we are notified of such losses 
by July Ist after planting. This one-half price only covers digging, 
packing and handling charges in making the replacement. 
If stock reaches you in damaged condition, have postmaster or 
express agent sign a receipt to this effect, as this will enable us 
to recover damages.
