GRAND CLOSING OUT SALE

AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE
FIRST CLASS STOCK AT AN
EXTREMELY LOW PRICE

Plant “Algoa Grown” Trees

Having decided to discontinue the Nursery
Business, we offer herein our entire line of stock
in standard varieties and grades direct to Plant-
ers and Growers at a price that has seldom if
ever been quoted on stock of such class and
quality before.

Our entire stock, comprising ORANGE, POM-
ELO, KUMQUAT, TANGERINE, miscellaneous
Fruit Trees, FIGS, SHADES, SHRUBS, AND
ORNAMENTALS, must go this season, and we
have cut the price on all grades and varieties to
such an extent that it offers an exceptional op-
portunity to every one to secure stock for this
season’s planting at a ridiculously low price.

Bear in mind that the stock offered herein rep-
resents the best varieties in the various kinds,
and is guaranteed to be strictly as represented.
This is not an attempt to dispose of inferior
stock at a bargain price, as our trees are first-
class in every respect, and poor stock is expens-
ive as a gift.

We invite inspection of our stock by our cus-
tomers, and will meet same at station, if notified
in time.

All stock offered has been inspected by the
State Inspector of Orchards and Nurseries, and
copy of Certificate of Inspection will accompany
all orders.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

We invite inspection of our stock by our customers, and
will meet all at station if notified in time.

Club orders among neighbors of a community are often ad-
visable, as by clubbing together and having all orders shipped
to one party a substantial saving can be made account of
larger number of trees ordered.

We book all orders with the distinct understanding that we
shall not be held liable for injury or loss of stock from frost,
hail, fire or other causes over which we have no control.
We are not liable for delays in transit, and our responsibility
ceases upon delivery to transportation company. All orders
for stock are accepted subject to supply on date received.

We guarantee all stock to be true to name and free from
disease, and agree to replace, upon proper proof, any stock
that may be found otherwise, or refund the amount paid
for same; but it is mutually agreed between the purchaser
and ourselves that we shall not be liable for a greater amount
than the purchase price.

All stock is carefully dug, graded and packed. We make no
extra charge for packing. We do not pay transportation
charges, but deliver f. o. b. Algoa.

Five, fifty and one hundred trees of one class take ten,
hundred and thousand rates, except on long lists of a few
trees of many varieties.

It is not practicable to ship stock by mail, as only very
small sizes can be conveniently packed to be shipped by that
method.

In ordering, please give name and address plainly, and state
whether stock is to be shipped by freight or express. Where
no instructions are given, we will use our best judgment. If
freight and express office is different from postoffice address,
do not fail to mention same.

Terms: Cash with order if for immediate shipment. On

orders to be held for future shipment, we require 25 per cent
cash with order, balance before shipment is made.

Remittances can be made by Registered Letter, Money Or-
der, Bank Draft or Check.

Our shipping season usually opens about November 15th
and continues until last of March.

Magnolia Figs

The Magnolia is a large greenish yellow or amber colored
fig, which for preserving, pickling, jam and other finished
products can not be excelled.

This variety is justly entitled to its well earned reputation
as the best fig for commercial planting, and has practically
superseded all other varieties for that purpose on the coast.

The available supply of stock of this variety is limited this
season, due to adverse weather conditions, but we are able
to offer several thousand fine, well-rooted trees.

It is generally advisable in transplanting some evergreens
to have plants dug with a ball of earth and burlapped. We
recommend that Camphor, Crypt. Japonica, Mag. G. F. and

Cedar, as well as other varieties when balled prices are

quoted, be dug in that manner, especially in the larger grades,
and price trees of varieties named both for balled and bare
roots.
