‘t(MVLEASE ORDER EARLY.” We suggest you 
order as early as possible this year because qual- 
ity stock is scarce and the demand will exceed 
the supply. Naturally, early orders will be filled com- 
plete and will be delivered at proper time for planting 
if no specific date is mentioned when ordering. 
Plants that have grown too large or unsafe to move 
at a particular season will be reserved and shipped at 
the proper time. 
Remittances should be made by check, post office 
order or express order. When not convenient to remit 
in this way the letter should be registered. We will 
not be responsible for the receipt of money not reg- 
istered. On all shipments by parcel post the postage 
will be charged for. 
Be sure that both postal and express addresses are 
mentioned. Frequently shipments requested to be 
sent by parcel post must be shipped by express due 
to overweight when ready for delivery. 
Orders for less than $5.00 must be paid for in 
advance. When cash accompanies order a discount of 
3% is allowed from the total amount of order. 
Accounts unpaid within 30 days are subject to sight 
draft without further notice and interest will be 
charged after that time. 
While we exercise every care in packing and have 
confidence in the safe arrival of shipments, all goods 
are forwarded at the purchaser's risk. 
If found unsatisfactory on arrival return must be 
made to us immediately. Complaints on goods will 
not be accepted later than 10 days after arrival. No 
adjustment will be made after 30 days. 
grow, complaints must be made before April 15th in 
order to have them replaced. For stock planted in the 
spring, not satisfactory, complaints must be made by 
June Ist, or will not be recognized. 
Ua If plants are purchased in the fall, and fail to 
va Be sure you sign name and address on all cor- 
respondence and orders. 
ADDRESS ALL CORRESPONDENCE TO 
We endeavor to keep our plants true to name and 
maintain them satisfactory for the customer, but will 
not be responsible for failure from causes over which 
we have no control; such as unfavorable weather con- 
ditions, careless culture, improper soil, etc. We assume 
no responsibility after stock is delivered to customer 
in good condition. 
If the customer does not wish to accept shipment 
under these conditions, we ask that the plants be re- 
turned to us immediately. 
We endeavor to fill our orders in the rotation in 
which they are received but sometimes slight delays 
are unavoidable. A great deal of trouble can be 
avoided if customers will state specifically the date 
on which they are ready to plant and give us permis- 
sion to ship on the nearest date possible to that time. 
CORRESPONDENCE—We suggest inquiries be 
made on a separate sheet of paper from the order to 
eliminate delay in replying. 
PLEASE NOTE: It is not unusual for us to receive 
orders without any signature or identification mark 
attached. Customers who do not receive response to 
correspondence or orders within a reasonable time 
please write again, enclosing copy of letter or order 
so we may be able to trace same quickly. 
Not less than three plants to one variety will be 
sold at the dozen rate, nor less than twenty-five at the 
hundred rate. We are sometimes asked to send one 
hundred plants embracing about thirty varieties at the 
hundred price. We will not send less than twenty-five 
of one variety at the hundred rate. It takes consider- 
able time to select one hundred plants in twenty or 
thirty varieties and we must charge for the same ac- 
cordingly. 
Printing name and address prevents errors in ship- 
ping. 
Be sure name and address are attached to orders 
and inquiries. 
In having plants shipped to other addresses, please 
give full instructions to avoid delay and unnecessary 
correspondence.
