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 as early as possible and help us keep 
_ those seasonable rush periods down to a minimum. 
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 so 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 specific and always state the name of the variety as well 
as the quantity of damaged goods. With detailed and specific infor- 
mation at hand, we are able to immediately send you a free replace- 
ment for that which was received damaged. It is important we have 
complete information if we are to make speedy replacements. 
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. Upon receipt 
of your package, open it at once and admit air but keep plants ina 
cool place, away from sun or wind. 
Preplanting Treatment of Roses and Shrubs 
Upon receipt of package, open it at once and insert roots of shrubs 
and Roses in a tub or pail of water. If possible, permit the water to 
reach half way up the branches. Leave them there to soak up water 
for at least 24 hours before planting. It will reduce loss to a minimum 
and speed growth of stock immeasurably. 
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. Because of possible 
delay and the perishable nature of the material involved, we do not 
ship any nursery stock C.O.D. 
Woyside’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. Your order is a matter of personal and 
individual concern. 
Our stock, if given intelligent and reasonable care, will grow for 
you. Of course, you would not expect us to replace stock lost due to 
freezing, bad drainage, drought, heat, carelessness, neglect or lack of 
experience on the part of the planter. The above mentioned con- 
ditions are entirely beyond our control and we cannot be held re- 
sponsible for stock lost because of them. If stock is delivered to you 
in good condition and you are satisfied, our responsibility ceases there. 
Any stock which does not arrive in good condition will be replaced 
free of charge at once. You are relieved from all trouble. We will file 
our claim but the express company will not pay us for the damaged 
stock unless we furnish them a statement from the agent at your end 
showing loss or damage so please be sure and send that to us when 
you advise us of loss or damage. 
Small Purchases 
We have based our prices of plants, Roses, shrubs, and bulbs in 
this catalog on the assumption that orders received will be $10.00 in 
value or more. If your purchase is for a lesser amount it will be a 
privilege to serve you, but please add 50 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 $10.00 for 
sundries, or books do not require this extra 50-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, trans- 
portation charges are not included in the purchase price. Most ship- 
ments 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 the size of package 
complies with postal regulations, we will so forward your order, send- 
ing it ‘parcel post charges collect.” 
Packages traveling by parcel post, containing perishable items 
ordered after April 15th, 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
