OUR GUARANTEE 
Due to changing conditions, we are unable to give 
more than a 50% mortality guarantee. All retail sales 
are made subject to replace at half-price, on items failing 
to survive the first growing season after planting; provided 
account has been paid in full. All claims for mortality 
losses must be reported to us by October Ist, to be rec- 
ognized. 
We will. however, insure your purchase 100% for 
one free replace only, for any item or items, by adding 
15% to the purchase price, if desired. This does not in- 
clude planting of the replacement, as a separate charge 
will be made on this also, if our services are required in 
doing so. We assume no responsibility for winter kill on 
spring planted stock. 
PLANTING AND LABOR CHARGES 
As everyone knows, merchandise costs more today than ever before. A 
good part of this is on account of labor costs, and our business is no exception. 
Due to our seasonal business, good labor is hard to get, and at a premium; 
consequently a revision of planting charges when done on a percentage basis, 
or labor furnished for other than regular planting must be on a different basis 
today than it was previous to 1947. 
As a general basis, all plants or plantings installed by us will be charged 
for as follows: all bare root trees, shrubs and perennials—40% added to the 
sale price of the material; evergreens or other balled and burlapped items at 
25% additional; roses at 40¢c each, where no extra soil or ground preparation is 
necessary; hedges at 50% additional, or at 20c per foot, whichever is the 
greater. Where our services are required for just straight labor, the charge is 
a minimum of $3.00 per man hour. 
GIVE A GIFT CERTIFICATE 
Why not make a present of a gift certificate to that friend or 
loved one you wish to remember for a particular holiday or anni- 
versary—or just simply a present, as a living memorial and constant 
reminder of the donor. In this way it is possible to purchase a cer- 
tificate for a shade tree, an evergreen, a rose bush; in fact anything 
pertaining to plants usually found in a nursery, with delivery to be 
made in proper season. For example if you want to give someone 
an evergreen or rose bush for Christmas, it could be done by means 
of a gift certificate.
