TERMS 
Deliveries are subject to yield of crops and safe arrival of consignments. 
It is not possible to have all items listed available at all times. A number of 
perishable seeds cannot be stored successfully and must be ordered in season. All 
seeds are offered subject to crop failures or short supplies. 
Seeds are sold without warranty, expressed or implied as to description and 
productiveness. Goods should be carefully inspected upon arrival and claims for 
conditions made at once. We cannot consider claims after seeds have been stored 
or planted. 
All shipments travel at buyer’s risk and claims for damages in transit must be 
taken up with carriers. 
CAUTION—While it is true that plants grown from seed of horticultural 
varieties often yield superior plant material in comparison to that grown from 
nondescript seed, we wish to emphasize that seeds of such varieties or hybrids, with 
few exceptions, cannot be expected to come true to name. They are offered here 
for the convenience of competent plantsmen, for research and breeding work only. 
CUSTOMERS OTHER THAN PROFESSIONALS — Please note that their 
orders for pound lots will be handled in line with all others. Orders for small quanti- 
ties of assorted items must wait their turn to be filled after arrival of respective items 
from sources. We suggest that such orders be placed with us prior to March Ist. 
During the busy spring and fall shipping seasons orders for small amounts of seeds 
cannot be filled promptly. Please confine correspondence concerning small orders 
to the most necessary and attach a stamped return envelope if your inquiry does 
not concern an order. The right is reserved to return orders received in excess of 
our facilities. 
PRICES—subject to change without notice, are f.o.b. Boston. 
PAYMENT—for customers of approved credit upon receipt of invoice. A 
cash discount of 3% is allowed on all orders amounting to $10.00 or more. For orders 
of less than $5.00, please remit $.50 extra for handling. Please include postage 
charges in your remittance together with charges for packing, 5% for all items in 
pound lots or over. Packing is charged at cost. 
ORDERING—We request that written orders be a separate part of any cor- 
respondence and clearly show amount and price of each item listed. Quantities 
smaller than listed cannot be supplied. 
CERTIFICATION—All bulk lots of forest seeds received from abroad are 
certified as to origin as a matter of course. Special certificates will be furnished upon 
request. 
ABBREVIATION—N. E. stands for New England seed, a sign of hardiness; 
d.b. for dried berries; asterisk (*) denotes new or insufficiently known plants of merit. 
WE ARE IN THE MARKET FOR TREE AND SHRUB SEEDS OF ALL 
KINDS.
