GENERAL INFORMATION — Terms and Conditions of Sale 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
WE EXERCISE the greatest care to keep our varieties pure and true to name and at all times 
hold ourselves in readiness to replace stock that proves otherwise. It is mutually under- 
stood that in no instance shall Burton’s Nursery be held liable for an amount greater 
than the original purchase price. All orders accepted subject to stock on hand or 
circumstances beyond our control. 
WE GUARANTEE every plant to be true to name, up to grade, and in good condition when 
it leaves the Nursery. We will replace without charge any proved otherwise, provided 
it is reported promptly. 
We will make one free replacement at the first proper planting season, any plant 
planted by us in a location approved by us that dies within six months, provided it has 
received proper care and the account has been paid in accordance with our terms. 
All hardy ornamental plants and trees purchased at our Nursery or sales grounds and 
not planted by us, one replacement will be made at one-half the cost of our catalog 
price, if brought in within three months from time of purchase with sales slip. 
These guarantees do not cover losses due to droughts, storms, severe winters, insect in- 
jury, disease, or other factors beyond our control. Should we not have the same plant 
in stock, we reserve the right to substitute the nearest variety and size of equal value. 
PLANTS SPECIALLY SELECTED at the Nursery will be sold at prices commensurate with the 
specimen chosen, irrespective of the listed prices. 
CLAIMS AND ADJUSTMENTS. Any error or omission on our part will be satisfactorily ad- 
justed if notification is given within five days from receipt of goods. Damages in 
transit should be taken up immediately with your express or freight agent: advise us 
at the same time which will help us to help you. 
PRICES IN THIS CATALOG cancel previous quotations. We reserve the right to change these 
prices without notice. 
CONSULTATION AND MAKING OF PLANS. For suggestions and advice by mail or at our 
office there is no charge. If you will bring your property measurements and sketches 
or photos, we will be pleased to help you. Where simple sketches or plans are required 
locally, or at a distance when special trips are not necessary, there is no charge. 
As the time required to visit your property, take measurements and notes and prepare 
a detailed survey and plan depends upon distance and other conditions, it is impractical 
to quote costs beforehand. Oftentimes the cost of this service can be deducted if the 
resultant order justifies it. 
PRICES QUOTED cancel previous quotations, are subject to prior sale, and to change without 
notice. Prices are F.O.B. Hyattsville, Md. Unusually heavy specimen plants will be 
priced proportionate with their values. 
TERMS: Cash, excepting established accounts, to which we will gladly extend 30 days credit, 
or longer if specific arrangements are made at time of sale. 
BALLING AND BURLAPPING (B&B): The specification ‘‘B&B’’ in this list signifies digging 
with ball of earth and enclosing in burlap, which, where indicated, is included in the 
price. For digging all other plants in this manner there is an additional charge as 
follows:

been given the right start. This service will run approximately one-third of the cost of
