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. 
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. 
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. Nursery products are not 
manufactured but are grown so that in case of “short 
crops” early orders have first consideration. It is good 
judgment on your part to have your order “in” early 
and it is helpful to us. 
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. Shrubs, roses, bulbs, and plants, etc., are sent in 
separate packages sometimes several weeks apart be- 
cause they do not mature at the same time. This is 
particularly true in the autumn. Perennial plants are 
never included in the same bundle with shrubs as they 
do not arrive satisfactorily if handled that way. If you 
receive anything which has been damaged in transit 
advise us at once. Be sure to always state the variety 
name and quantity of damaged goods. With that in- 
formation at hand, we are able to immediately send you 
a free replacement for that which was received damaged. 
It is important we have complete information. 
We Ship at Proper Planting Time 
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. We desire to 
comply with your request, weather permitting, of course. 
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 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 at the dozen rate. 
25 or more plants of one kind are sold 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. Please avoid the use of currency as much 
as possible. 
Wayside’s Guarantee 
We guarantee each order we send out to be filled 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. 
We guarantee to ship at proper dates for planting in 
your section of the country. 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. Complaints should 
be made within one month after delivery. Any stock 
which does not arrive in good condition will be replaced 
free of charge at once. 
METHOD OF SHIPMENT 
The shrubs and plants we ship are larger than gen- 
erally offered in catalogs. 
It is impossible to know weight and sizes in ad- 
vance. Therefore, transportation charges are not in- 
cluded in the purchase price. Most shipments are 
sent by express, this being the best method, because 
large bundles rarely comply with postal regulations. 
Small packages travel by parcel post. We advance 
the postage. We kindly request you refund postage 
to us in any convenient way. 
A notice of the amount you owe us will be found 
in the package. 
If you request shipment by parcel post and size of 
package complies with postal regulations, we will so 
forward your order, sending it ‘’parcel post charges 
collect.”
