Business Terms.Your order is acceptable at any time, early or late, but early orders are recommended.Those who find it more convenient may send their order now and their remittance later if they prefer.Money may be forwarded by personal check, money order, draft, or by any convenient method.Safe Delivery Guaranteed.I guarantee safe delivery of all stock forwarded by express, and will replace losses free if reported promptly.Freight is often cheaper for heavy shipments and is safe for moderate distances.I do not assume risk of loss by freight, but will use best efforts to secure safe and prompt delivery.Packing.Good stock may be delivered to the customer in bad condition because of faulty packing.For many years I have carefully studied packing methods and have developed my own system which enables me to deliver my superior stock anywhere in the United States in perfect condition.Not only are my packing methods efficient, but all unnecessary weight is eliminated, thus reducing the cost of transportation to the minimum.My prices include packing for shipment, except where an order is for only two or three trees or balled evergreens, in which case a small charge is made; larger orders are packed free.Plants by Mail.The recent admission of plants to the regular Parcel Post zone rates makes this a practical method of forwarding small parcels within the first and second zones.Beyond this limit and for large parcels, express is usually cheaper.Trees and plants now take the second class rate by express, which is in most cases cheaper than the old rates.If plants are ordered by mail, an allowance for postage should be included with your order; if you send too much I will refund or add extra plants as you prefer.By express or freight, charges should be paid at destination, unless there be no agent at your station.Prices.The prices of most commodities have advanced decidedly within the past few years.I am glad to inform my customers that only slight advances have been made in prices of standard grades of nursery stock, and on most items no advance whatever.In comparing prices, it should be observed that most of the quotations of this catalogue call for a definitely stated size or grade of stock.Blanket prices which include free delivery with size of stock indefinitely stated, are likely to prove unsatisfactory to the customer.Personal Attention.Few nurseries in this country exercise greater care than I do to send out stock that is strictly true to name, of good vitality and safely packed.Bear in mind that I have no outside interests whatever to divert my attention from the nursery business.Every box, bale or parcel sent out from Rockmont Nursery is handled under my personal supervision.Good nursery stock sells itself.My catalogue comes along to take your order.You have no commissions or traveling expenses to pay.I stay on the job and deliver the goods.This method has given good satisfaction to my customers.I suppose that no one can avoid making mistakes, but if you will report mistakes or anything else that fails to please you, I will try to make things satisfactory.
