EAST PATCHOGUE, N. Y. 3 
in accordance with our terms. The customer pays for 
delivery and planting at cost. This guarantee does not 
cover losses due to droughts, storms, severe winters, 
insect injury, disease, or other factors beyond our con- 
trol. Should we not have the same plant in stock, we 
reserve the right to substitute the nearest variety and 
size of equal value. We do not guarantee plants trans- 
planted from one location to another on customer’s 
property. 
As there are many factors beyond our control after 
plants leave the nursery, we cannot be wholly respon- 
sible for losses. Once a plant is on your property we 
lose control over it, so, since your care will largely de- 
termine whether it lives or dies, we feel that you should 
assume part of the responsibility in the event it dies. 
However, during 1948 and 1949, despite serious 
droughts and other adverse weather conditions, we were 
called upon to replace less than 1% of the many thou- 
sands of trees and shrubs we planted for our customers. 
Ask us for our latest pamphlets giving complete infor- 
mation on planting and care of trees and shrubs. 
Visitors are welcome at all times. You are cordially 
invited to walk or drive over our several miles of good 
roads and inspect our collection of hardy plants.

mercial agencies or satisfied customers in your vicinity,
