Special Mention.

ROSES. We are making a specialty of growing Hardy Hybrid Perpetuals and
Mosses by budding for outdoor planting. Budded roses transplant with better
success than roses on their own roots and produce finer blossoms. The stocks
upon which we bud are all disbudded before planting, so that little trouble is
experienced from suckers. It will be noticed that our assortment given on page
six covers all shades of color from white to the darkest crimson. We have
discontinued growing roses at Biloxi, Miss., as we find we can produce a much~
healthier, handsomer plant at Huntsville. Our present crop is grown at Hunts-
ville, and we guarantee as fine plants, both roots and tops, as can be produced
anywhere in the United States. Samples will be sent upon application.

FRAU KARL. DRUSCHKI (Snow Queen). We are growing this variety in
large numbers. “It is the best white Hybrid Perpetual ever introduced. We have
had it at Huntsville blooming in the open ground for the past three years. It is
marvelous in its beauty in half open bud and in the pure white of the full opened
bloom. It is more prolific and more constant in bloom than the Paul Neyron.
In a bed of a dozen plants there is seldom a day during the Summer when blooms
eannot be cut, and during the Spring and Fall it blooms in profusion. It is the
ideal rose for cemetery planting both North and South. It holds its foliage well
and is healthy and vigorous and in hardiness it equals any of the Hybrid
Perpetuals. Nurserymen should put this rose in the hands of their agents and
draw upon us for filling their orders.

without notice. A
The usual Terms and Conditions govern these quotations.

Combination Car Lots.

Prices will be based on delivery to station at Huntsville, the price of boxes to
‘be added. In car lots in bulk no charge will be made for packing.

To those who order in less than car lots and wish to take advantage of our plan
to deliver to Distributing Points we must add to the prices quoted in this list
the cost of freight from Huntsville to these points on a car lot basis, and we
will then prepay the freight to the point of distribution. This plan insures
low freight rates and quick time. Such orders will.be packed in boxes at Hunts-
ville and combined to make up car lots and shipment promptly made to distrib-
uting points and forwarded from there over the various railroads to destination.
Car lot orders will go direct from Huntsville to destination, and can be shipped
at any time after September 20th to March 15th, except a short time in mid-winter.

PEACH TREES---One Year. On Peach. Leading Varieties.

Our peach trees are budded on seedlings grown from Manweasee and Alabama natural pits.
They are free from Aphis, Root-knot and Crown-Gall. We can supply beautiful large. medium
and small-sized trees. The land upon which our peach trees are grown produces a well-matured
tree, with fine fibrous roots. The San Jose Scale, Yellows and Rosette are unknown in this
section and we have been careful not to bring in any buds from affected localities.

THE HUNTSVILLE WHOLESALE NURSERIES PRICE LIST.

Terms and Conditions Governing Quotations im the Price

List of the Huntsville

RaATES.—As we send this list to the trade only,
we make the difference in prices between the 10,
100 and 1000 rates very slight—simply sufficient,
@S arule, to cover the difference in the expense
of handling in the smaller numbers. We uni-
formly tie in bunches of 10, when consistent
with the order, and we suggest to our customers
to make their orders for varieties in multiples
of 10 as far as practicable. Orders for 50 and
not over 300 trees, if for not less than 10 of a
variety, will be charged at the rate per hundred.
orders requiring 300 trees or more, and not less
than 10 of a variety.will be fitled at the lowest
quoted prices. Orders for less than 10 trees of
one variety, will be charged at the rate per ten.

Smason.—Our packing and shipping season
begins by the 20th of September, and continues
until about the first of March..

We have great advantages to offer here in
parly shipments for the North in Spring. We
do not accept orders for trees we do not grow, as
we never buy trees to sell again. You can de-

end upon us for fresh dug trees. Each order
is taken up separately, and not until it is
wanted for shipment.

SHIPPING DIRECTIONS.—We respectfully beg
our patrons to furnish us with explicit direc-
tions as to shipping, and the mode of conveyance
by which they desire trees forwarded. Whenno
particular directions are given, we forward
according to the best of our judgment. Butin
no case do we assume any responsibility as to
safe delivery and condition of Trees and Plants
after a proper shipment by us.

RELEASE.— When prepayment of freight is not
required, we will Release and Guarantee, and
take forwarder’s receipt and mail to consignee.
It is left to the option of the shipper of trees
ever some railroads, whether he will release
them or not under the clause ‘‘Value less than
SAE per 100 lbs.’’ If released under this clause,
the freight is less on roads governed by this
classification,and we will assume it to be proper
to make this release, without reference to the
value of the trees, unless instructed to the con-
trary. This clause does not apply upon roads
under some of the district elassifications, and
because of this confusion we will not be held
responsible for any oversight to release, unless
instructed by our customers. Claims for delay
or loss must be made to the forwarders. :

PAOKAGES.—The cost of package must be
added to the prices quoted in this list,as follows:

Boxes 30 inches square, from 7% to 9 feet long,
as the trees may require, each $2.50; boxes 24
inches, $2.00; boxes 18 inches, $1.50; bales from
25c. to 75c. each.

PacKkInG.—Goods will be packed in moss or
“Shingle Tow,’ and especial care taken to
insure their arrival in the best condition.

ASSOETMENTS.—We do not require customers
to take an assortment they do not wish, but will
sell one variety alone if desired. If any substi-
tution can be allowed, either in grade or variety,
it should be so stated when making the order.
As a rule we do not substitute without per-
mission.

CAUTION.—We accept all orders upon the con-
dition that they shall be void, should any injury
befall the trees from frost, hail, storm, fire, or
other causes over which we have no control

TEEMSs.—Cash. When desired, we will allow 30
fo 60 days from date of shipment to responaibla.

Wholesale Nurseries.

prompt-paying customers. Parties with whom
we have had no business transactions. will save
time by sénding reference, with order. We
wish it expressly understood that payment is
expected from the first collections made. and
the time named is only intended as so inany
days of grace in which to make returns. To
northern customers, who wish to lay in stock
for Spring trade, we will ship late in Fall
or early in Spring, and allow time fcr payment
till May 15th. If shipment is required in the
Fall for Spring use, a note is to be given upon
receipt of the trees. We do not allow any
discount for cash, but we make our prices low to
command cash, or prompt returns. In orders
when the time is not mentioned, 30 days is to be
understood. Interest at the rate of 8 per cent
per annum must be paid on over due accounts.
Should prices be changed, either higher or
lower, during the season, the prices ruling at
the fim the order is made, are expected to
stand.

ForMS OF PAYMENT.—AIll bills are payable at
the office of the seller, and remittances should
be made by drafts on New York, Chicago or St.
Louis, or by.-money orders on some Express
Company, or by postal orders. We will, how-
ever, accept checks from those of our customers
who may be located at places having no bank-
ing, express or postal facilities, provided they
make them in every case payable ‘‘with ez-
change’’, or add &% of onecent. to the amount of
the bill for the cost of collection.

GRADES.—We grade very carefully, in some
cases by caliper, in others by height. When
graded by both caliper and height. the caliper
must govern, as the height then named is only
to be considered approximately. When graded
by height or caliper, we include the lower num-
ber and exclude the higher. Instance: in a
grade of 4 to 5 feet trees, the 4 feet trees are in-
cluded, but not the 5 feet trees. If 5 feet trees
are wanted, the5 to 6 feet grade must be ordered.

GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS.— While we ex-
ercise the greatest diligence and care to have all
our Trees, etc., true to label, and hold ourselves
in readiness, on proper proof, to replace all trees,
ete., that may prove untrue to label, free of
charge, or refund the amount paid, it is mutu-
ally understood and agreed to, between the pur-
chaser and ourselves, that our guarantee of gen-
uineness shall in no case make us liable for any
sum greater than that originally received for
said trees, etc., that shall prove untrue.

ACCEPTANCE.—Notice should be sent us by tel-
egraph, at our expense, if there is any cause of
complaint,or should the trees be refused, stating
reasons. Claims for deduction, from whatever
cause,will rr :eive consideration only when made
premptly upon the receipt of the trees. If trees
show any signs of shrivelling upon arrival, they
can usually be restored by being thoroughly
watered and buried entirely under the ground
for two or three days. Should there be any frost
in the trees upon arrival, they should not be
removed from the box until the frost is all out.
The box should be placed in the cellar or pro-
tected in some other way. The presence of
frost in the boxes is not to be considered an
evidence of bad condition. 28 we pack to
secure the trees against damage, if the frest
is allowed to come out in the natural way.
Goods will be considered accepted if removed
from the boxes in which they are packed, w.5b-
out notice of complaint tous and without om
ardere for their disposition. |
