SPRING OF 1922 Harvard Evergreen Nurseries Price Fist of Evergreens, Deciduous Trees, Etc. GROWN AND FOR SALE BY Robt. C. Uecke, Harvard, 111. ( Pronounced ee— kuy ) ANNOUNCEMENT In presenting my pric€ list for the spring of 1922, I would thank all cus- tomers and friends for the liberal patronage given me the past season. My list is not a long one, and yet contains all the varieties of evergreens that ninety-nine out of a hundred growers and planters want. To those not acquainted with me I would &ay that I make a specialty of growing Ever- greens and devote my entire time and attention to this branch of the nursery business. I exercise the utmost care that all Evergreens sent out by. me have received careful and proper handling up to the time they are delivered to the transportation company. Evergreens packed with fruit trees very often do not receive the care they demand, with the consequent loss and dis- appointment to the planter. LOCATION My nursery is very centrally and favorably located on the main line of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway, between Chicago and St. Paul and Minneapolis, 63 miles northwest of Chicago. Eleven passenger trains and numerous freight trains run daily from this point to Chicago over their double track road, giving exceptional shipping facilities. SHIPPING Customers are requested to state the manner in which they wish their goods sent — whether by express or freight. When no directions are given I will use my best judgment in the interest of the customer. Be sure to give your name, town, county and state very plainly. If your express office is different from your postoffice, give both. All orders are filled as nearly as possible in the same order in which received. Packing free. I make no charge whatever for boxes, packing or deliver- ing trees to the transportation companies. The prices quoted in this list with the transportation charges (freight or express) added, are the exact cost of the trees to the customer. Take particular notice of this, as many firms charge extra for the packing. I pack all Evergreens with moss in as light boxes as is consistent with safety. After delivering trees in good order to forwarders my responsibility ceases and customer takes all risk of shipment. Should losses occur through neglect or detention enroute, claims should be made at once on the transpor- tation companies. TERMS AND CONDITIONS Terms of payment must invariably be cash before shipment. All orders to be sent by express C. 0. D. must be accompanied by one-fourth cash. The charges for the return of money will in all cases be added to the bill. I am selling trees at such a small margin of profit that I cannot afford to run any rish as to getting my pay. Money may be sent at my risk by postoffice or express money order, registered letter or bank draft. Stamps of the one and two cent kinds taken for all small amounts. Make all orders payable to Robt. C. Uecke, Harvard, McHenry County, Illinois. The prices in this list rule only when the amounts specified are taken, but five, fifty and five hundred will be furnished at ten, hundred and thousand rates. No orders for less than $1.00 accepted. Should any error or shortage occur, it will be cheerfully corrected if notice is given immediately upon receipt of goods. No notice will be taken of any subsequent demands. While I exercise the greatest care to have all trees true to name and of the grade specified, and am prepared to replace, on positive proof, all that may prove untrue to either, I do not give any warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied; and in case of any error on my part it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and myself that I shall not at any time be DISCOUNTS On all orders where cash accompanies the order I will allow the follow- ing discounts from prices quoted in this catalogue: On orders of from $ 1.50 to $ 3.00 10 per cent “ “ “ 3.00 to 5.00 15 “ “ “ “ “ 5.00 to 10.00 20 “ “ “ “ “ 10.00 and over 25 “ “ r These discounts do not apply to orders for $1.00 lots by mail, or orders given under special agreement. Add up the amount of your order, deduct the discount as above and send me the balance by Money Order, Draft or Registered Letter. No order for less than $1.00 accepted. ROBT. C.
