GENERAL INFORMATION 
and 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE 
It is our earnest desire to attain mutual satisfaction with our customers. Please 
read the following information carefully to avoid the possibility of misunder- 
standings. 
PRICES—See the current season’s price list applying to this Catalog No. 471. 
They are issued each spring and fall. 
TERMS—Cash, excepting established accounts, to which we will gladly extend 30 
days’ credit, or longer where specific arrangements are made at time of sale. 
GUARANTEE—See Page 1. 
BALLING AND BURLAPPING—AII evergreens and evergreen shrubs are dug 
with balls of earth and enclosed in burlap (B&B) at list prices. This applies like- 
wise to any other plants marked “B&B.” Since with the balance of the plants 
balling is advisable at certain times of the year only, a charge will be made for 
digging any plant B&B if not so listed. Platforms used in balling are to be returned 
to us or they will be charged for. 
PACKING AND BOXING, where necessary for express, parcel post, or freight 
shipment, will be charged for at cost. 
SHIPMENT—Please give explicit instructions. We ship by motor and rail freight, 
express, and parcel post. Delivery by our own trucks expedites arrival and insures 
a minimum amount of handling. Delivery beyond local limits is charged at 
cost. 
PLANTING—Due to modern handling methods, the transplanting season has 
been greatly extended. Our spring season commences about March Ist and con- 
tinues through June, during which time almost all plants may be safely moved. 
In favorable weather, many plants may be safely moved through the summer. 
Our fall season starts with transplanting evergreens in late July and deciduous 
plants from late September or early October until freezing weather. We can furnish 
experienced planting foremen and plantsmen if you wish. The cost of this service 
is low, considering the satisfacton derived from knowing that your plants have 
been given the right start. 
QUOTATIONS AND SKETCHES covering contemplated planting will be sub- 
mitted without cost or obligation unless large detailed plans are required, in which 
event we suggest that you consult a professional Landscape Architect. Reliable 
names will be furnished on request. 
VISITORS are welcome at all times. You are cordially invited to drive or walk 
over our several miles of good roads throughout the nurseries and inspect our fine 
collection of hardy plants. 
SALESMEN are available at our office to furnish information relative to the 
selection, care, and use of plants. No salesmen are maintained at our branch 
nurseries. We neither employ agents nor authorize dealers to use our name. Our 
salesmen will present our business card when calling on you. 
RESPONSIBILITY AND STANDING—We refer you to the Commercial Agencies 
or satisfied customers in your vicinity, a list of which we will gladly send you 
upon request.
