Ml The purpose of this Nursery is to raise
and sell such Trees and Plants as are
TU best adapted to this part of the state.
Nothing but first class stock will be offered and
at prices as low as such stock can be sold. We
do not substitute. No replacing unless stock
proves to be different than represented.

While we exercise the greatest care to
have all our Trees and Plants genuine

to replace on proper proof any that may prove
untrue, we do not give any warranty, expressed
or implied, and in case of any error on my part,
it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and
ourselves, that we shall not at any time be held
responsible for a greater amount than the origi-
nal price of the Trees and Plants. All pur- !
chases from us are made on the above terms.

or less; over $5.00, 25 per cent
