It's Easy to Order by Mail from Wayside 
NEW CUSTOMERS ARE INVITED TO READ THIS PAGE BEFORE ORDERING 
The business of Wayside Gardens is conducted each year with many customers—and is 
based upon confidence and co-operation. By its very nature most of our shipping must be 
done during only a few weeks in each year. At the peak, hundreds of orders are filled daily. 
Your Confidence in Wayside 
__ We appreciate your confidence in ordering from us— 
_ and we will do our utmost to deserve it. Based on many 
years’ experience we have worked out systems for han- 
dling orders expeditiously and correctly with a minimum 
_ of annoyance to the customer. 
However, you can help us, and enable us to give you 
_ the best possible service, if you will order early. 
When to Order 
Send us your order as soon as you have made your 
selection. Do not delay mailing it to us! Much pre- 
| liminary work must be done before the actual shipping 
| of bulbs or plants is possible. In case of ‘‘short crops’ 
| early orders have first consideration. It is always good 
judgment on your part to have your order “‘in’’ early, 
} as well as it is helpful to us. Plant as soon as the soil in 
| your garden is in a workable condition. All stock re- 
sponds best when planted while in a dormant state. 
Report Errors Promptly 
(Always Give DATE of Order) 
It is impossible to avoid or escape rush periods in the 
nursery business. Errors are possible at such times. 
Therefore, check over your order as soon as you receive 
it. Remember that shrubs, roses, bulbs and plants, etc., 
are sent in separate packages sometimes several weeks 
apart. Consult your order acknowledgment. If you re- 
ceive anything which has been damaged in transit ad- 
vise us at once. Be sure to always state the variety name 
and quantity of damaged goods. With that information 
at hand we are able to immediately send you a free re- 
placement for that which was received damaged. It is 
important we have complete information. 
Small Purchases 
We have based our prices of plants, roses, shrubs, and 
bulbs in this catalog on the assumption that orders re- 
ceived will be $3.00 in value or more. If your purchase 
| is for a lesser amount it will be a privilege to serve you, 
| but please add 35 cents service charge to your remit- 
| tance. Handling small orders in any nursery requires 
| a great amount of labor and is very expensive. Orders 
for less than $3.00 for seeds, sundries, or books do not 
require this extra 35-cent service charge. 
Shipping Directions Are Desirable 
All plants, roses or shrubs, and bulbs will be shipped 
at the proper time for planting in your locality. This 
often requires two or more shipments. If there is a 
special date on which you would like to receive your 
) order, mention it on the order blank. Shipments will be 
| made by parcel post or express, at our option, unless 
specific instructions are received. 
Quantities and Prices 
1 or 2 plants of one kind are sold only where each rate 
is quoted. 
3 to 5 plants of one kind are sold and charged at the 
three rate. We do not sell any hardy plants in smaller 
units than three unless the variety is specifically 
quoted per each. 
6 to 24 plants of one kind are sold and charged at the 
dozen rate. 
25 or more plants of one kind are sold and charged at 
the hundred rate. 
Remittances Must Accompany Order 
Your remittance and your order will be acknowledged 
when received. Checks, money orders or bank drafts 
may be used. Currency should be sent only by registered 
mail. We cannot be responsible otherwise. 
Wayside’s Guarantee 
We guarantee each order we send out to be tilled with 
stock of superior quality. 
We guarantee each shipment to reach you safely and 
undamaged. 
We guarantee to replace any of our products that do 
not reach you in first-class condition or refund your 
money in full, including any and all transporiation 
charges paid by you. 
We guarantee the accuracy of our shipping dates for 
your order and your own particular garden. Your order 
is a matter of personal and individual concern. 
Replacements 
We guarantee our plants, roses, shrubs and bulbs to 
bloom if given intelligent and reasonable care. Of 
course, you would not expect us to replace stock lost 
due to freezing, bad drainage, drought, heat, careless- 
ness, neglect or lack of experience on the part of the 
planter. The above mentioned conditions are entirely 
beyond our control and we cannot be held responsible 
for stock when lost because of them. No complaints 
can be entertained one month after delivery. 
Transportation Charges 
It is impossible to predetermine the size and weight 
of bulbs, roses, shrubs, or hardy plants; therefore, trans- 
portation charges are not included in the purchase price. 
All seeds with the exception of Lawn Seeds are deliv- 
ered free. 
A notice of the correct amount of postage we have 
advanced will be found inside the package, which we 
kindly ask you to refund us in postage stamps or any 
way most convenient for you.
