You are always welcome at the 
Putney Nursery, Inc. 
(Formerly Aiken Nursery, Inc.) 
Putney, Vermont 
Whether you live nearby or visit Vermont on vacation, we sincerely hope that you will stop 
in to visit us. We hope you will come when we can greet you, but even if no one is around at 
the hour you arrive, please feel free to stop and browse around as long as you like. We are located 
on U.S. Route 5 about midway between Brattleboro and Bellows Falls. 
Business Hours. The nursery is open every weekday from 7:30 to 5:00. We are also open 
Sundays 9:00 to 4:00 from April 1 to June 15 and from September 1 to November 1. 
Our New Name has been adopted to better identify us with our town and to better represent 
our broader ownership. We will not say that our plants and service will remain the same, because 
we hope that both will continue to improve. 
Guarantee. We guarantee that all plants, bulbs and seeds we sell are true to name and 
description, free from any serious insect pest or disease, and that they will be delivered to you in 
good condition for planting. This makes it possible for customers who live at a distance to order 
with the assurance that they shall receive stock in as good condition as though they had called 
here at the nursery to get it. If any stock is not delivered to you in good condition, notify us 
within ten days, describing the damage, listing the damaged items exactly and stating whether 
you want them replaced at once or at the next favorable planting time. You can guarantee the 
successful growth of the stock once it is safely delivered to you, by prompt and careful planting 
plus proper care. It is mutually agreed that in no case shall our liability exceed the purchase 
price of the stock and that we may refund your payment in lieu of replacement, if necessary. 
Prices. All prices are for the stock at the nursery. (We tried listing prepaid prices but it 
did not work out very well, being unfair to anybody except to the mythical “‘average’’ customer. 
Those who lived nearby paid too much for transportation and those at a distance, too little.) 
We prepay all parcel post shipments and notify you of the amount due us for postage, trusting 
you to reimburse us promptly. Express shipments are sent collect for the express charge only. 
Please remit in full with each order. We do not ship C.O.D. because of the extra office work... ” 
involved and the extra expense to the buyer. 
It’s a Fact that this nursery is really your nursery. It would not exist without your patron- 
age. That is why we want to be told if at any time our stock or service is not entirely satisfactory 
and it is why we want you to visit us if possible.
