OUR GUARANTEE 
On stock planted by us we guarantee every- 
thing sold at retail to be true to name and to 
make a normal growth through its first growing 
season after planting. (We consider this season 
to end September | following the summer grow- 
ing season.) We will in no way be responsible 
for winterkill of spring planted stock, nor will 
we be responsible for losses beyond our control 
such as lack of care, hail, etc. Replacements 
will be made once only through this guarantee. 
On stock planted by the customer, we will re- 
place at half price, subject to the foregoing. 
NO REPLACEMENTS WILL BE MADE UNTIL 
THE ACCOUNT IS PAID IN FULL. No cash al- 
lowances will be made on dead stock. 
SUBSTITUTION. We will substitute if permis- 
sion to do so is indicated on the order blank. 
TERMS. Net cash with order. Make all remit- 
tances by Money Order, Draft, or Personal 
Check. Please do not ask us to ship C.O.D. It 
costs you more money and delays shipment.

mail will be sent postpaid. A 10% handling 
charge is made on all Mail Orders. Items too 
large will be sent by Express or Auto Freight 
Collect.
