| 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. 
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 handling 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 preliminary 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 busi- 
ness. Errors are possible at such times. Therefore, check over your or- 
der 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 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 always to state the variety and name and quantity of 
damaged goods. With that information at hand, we are able to im- 
mediately 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 
planting 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, care- 
lessness, 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 lost because of them. Com- 
plaints 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. 
Small Purchases 
We have based our prices of plants, Roses, shrubs, and bulbs in 
this catalog on the assumption that orders received will be $5.00 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 
remittance. Handling small orders in any nursery requires a great 
amount of labor and is very expensive. Orders for less than $5.00 for 
sundries, or books do not require this extra 35-cent service charge. 
METHOD OF SHIPMENT 
The shrubs and plants we ship are larger than generally offered 
in catalogs. 
It is impossible to determine weights in advance. Therefore, 
transportation charges are not included in the purchase price. 
Most shipments are sent by express, this being the best method, 
because large bundles rarely comply with postal regulations. 
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.”’ 
Packages traveling by parcel post containing perishable items 
ordered late in the season are sent parcel post special handling to 
assure speedy delivery. 
Shrubs and Roses ordered in the spring are sent in one package. 
Hardy plants as well as bulbs are sent in separate packages to 
insure delivery at correct planting time. 
Unlike Other Commodities, Nursery Products Are Ordered In Advance
