INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING 
TERMS: Cash in full with order. 
Cc. O. D. SHIPMENTS. Orders amounting to $5.00 or 
more (exclusive of Bargain Offers or special quoted 
prices) if accompanied by remittance amounting to at 
least one-third the total amount, will be shipped C. O. D. 
for balance, if so instructed. ALL BARGAIN OFFERS 
and special quoted prices are made for cash in full 
with order only. No C. O. D. orders shipped without 
deposit. 
REMITTANCES. Please remit by postoffice or express 
money order, bank draft or cashier’s check. Personal 
checks accepted. Unregistered currency sent at your 
risk. Be sure to make all remittances payable to THE 
WHITTEN NURSERIES. 
PRICES. All material offered in this catalog is priced 
f. o. b. Bridgman, and not prepaid, unless otherwise 
specified in catalog. All printed prices herein subject 
to change without notice, should circumstances arise 
which in our opinion, warrant any such changes. 
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 
promptly when received and shipped in season, or as 
per your instructions, weather permitting. 
Orders are acknowledged 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS containing charts and dia- 
grams of approved planting methods sent free with 
each order. 
SUBSTITUTION. Be sure to state whether we shall 
substitute some other variety in case our supply of the 
kind ordered is exhausted. If not forbidden, we reserve 
the right to substitute some similar variety of equal or 
greater value, but will always label substitutes true-to- 
name. 
CANCELLATION. Orders are not subject to cancella- 
tion or change during the shipping season. Stock not 
returnable for credit. We accept no obligation or 
responsibility for the return of any stock, unsatisfactory 
or otherwise, without our first having given instructions 
for the return of same. 
SHIPPING INFORMATION. All nursery stock should 
be shipped by either express or parcel post. Other 
methods of transportation are too slow and uncertain 
for such perishable material. Except on very small 
shipments, transportation charges by express are 
usually less than by parcel post. Also, customer re- 
ceives the added convenience of being able to pay 
actual transportation charges at destination with no 
added collection charge. 
PARCEL POST SHIPMENTS. If parcel post is the only 
convenient method of transportation, be sure to add 
to your remittance an ample amount to cover postal 
charges, thereby eliminating C. O. D. and money order 
fees, which are required on C. O. D. shipments. We 
recommend express wherever convenient. Customer 
stands transportation costs on all purchases excepting 
those quoted in catalog at prepaid prices. All other 
items are sent either by parcel post, or express collect. 
CLAIMS. All claims covering condition upon arrival, 
shortages or otherwise MUST BE MADE WITHIN TEN 
DAYS AFTER ARRIVAL OF SHIPMENT. If no complaint 
is made within that time, it will be assumed that ship- 
ment is satisfactory. If shipment arrives in damaged 
condition, be sure to secure signed statement from the 
express agent or postmaster at destination, showing 
full extent of loss or damage. Claims cannot be con- 
sidered without this information.
