Excerpt from J. B. Pilkington, Nurseryman Price List, Vol. 23: Season Fall 1923, Spring 1924 Location - General office, packing and sales depart ment are in Portland, corner Second and Salmon streets. Nur series are at Durham, 11 miles south of the city. All inquiries should be addressed to the Portland office. During planting season a general stock is carried at the city yards and replenished by daily truck service from the nursery. Visitors are welcome at all times to yards or nurseries. Planting season - Stock should not be planted until dormant in the fall nor after growth starts in the spring. Under ordinary weather conditions digging and shipping sea son commences in mid-october and continues until early April. Early fall planting is preferable as a rule, as roots form during the mild winters and plants are ready to grow when warm weather begins. Early spring planting is also perfectly satisfactory. Prices and delivery - It is my aim and intention to give good value to all purchasers. Prices in this catalog are net for stock f. O. B. Portland or nursery shipping station. Unknown correspondents should send cash with their order or arrange for terms. Guarantee-i guarantee that all plants sent out will be delivered to the carrier in first-class condition and they shall be true to name and if through error any should prove untrue to replace them without charge. It is obvious that I cannot guarantee that customers will make them live, as I have no control over conditions surrounding them and the care they will receive after they leave my hands. Landscape department - Best results are attained in landscape and other gardening work when both experience and taste work together. Our Landscape Department is under well equipped and expert management. We are always glad to offer suggestions Without charge to intending purchasers, but where landscape problems require special visits, plans, specifications, etc., a charge is made consistent with value of services rendered. We will be pleased to take up this matter more fully with those who are interested. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
