D. orders. We are sorry but experience has 
taught us that it is a losing proposition to 
fill orders and make shipments unless a deposit 
has been paid on the order. Our stock is perish- 
able and must have prompt attention when it 
arrives at the destination. So we are compelled 
to ask a deposit of 25% of the amount of the order 
as a guarantee of good faith. We guarantee sat- 
isfaction or your money refunded. 
W E MUST have a deposit of 25% on all C. O. 


Our Guarantee 
All goods are guaranteed to reach you in good 
live growing condition. Mistakes, if made, will be 
promptly adjusted. Accept the shipment and not- 
ify us at once, should there be any errors, and 
the carrier as well, should there be any damaged 
stock. This guarantee is not good unless above sy, 
requirements are complied with. Nursery stock 
is just the same as human beings—it breathes, 
drinks and feeds, and is subject to disease. With ae! 
proper planting and proper care, we know that 
our stock will grow and do well for you.

Order Early! 
Order early while our assortment is complete. 
We have a very fine lot of stock this year but as

PLANTS AND TREES BY PARCEL POST 
We strongly urge the advantage of our Parcel Post system for 
handling small quantities and the smaller size plants and trees. 
We can send by Parcel Post, Grape vines, Raspberry and 
Blackberry plants in lots of 100 or less. Currants and Gooseberries, 
both one- and two-year-old, in lots of 25 or less. One-year-old 
fruits and ornamental trees and shrubs, Roses, also bulbs, Peonies, 
Iris, and perennial plants. 
The two larger grades of trees cannot be sent by Parcel Post. 
However, we call attention to the fact that express rates on 
nursery stock have been reduced about 25 per cent, which will 
be quite @ saving to you on the larger size trees. 
We prepay the postage on all Parcel Post shipments, and your 
plants are laid right down at your door.
