FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD 1938 The Tingle Nursery Co. Pittsville, Md NEW, RARE AND TIME-TESTED Trees, Plants, Shrubs, Etc. FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD These years do roll around. It seems only a little while since we were getting our 1937 catalog ready to print. We have left undone many of the things we planned to do the past year and we have done some we wish we could have left undone. How- ever, it has been an interesting one with its fail- ures and its achievements, and we somehow have the feeling that our many experiences may be very much alike in this respect. We are now planning next season's work; or- dering seeds and plants from all sections of the world, hoping in the course of years to be able to offer you more of the World's Best Plants as soon as they may be available. In the case of seeds, this is a very slow process. It takes years to produce saleable plants of many of the varie- ties while a large quantity of the seed never ger- minate. However, the success we do have and; the interest you show in the offerings we make encourage us in our efforts to keep on offering you the best of the New, Rare and Time-Tested Plants from all parts of the world.

Stock will be reserved and shipped when the proper time comes or when you specify. Be sure to plant as early as possible so the plants may become established before dry weather comes on. TIME OF SHIPMENT. From September to May, and even later some- times. We will use every precaution in our power to put plants' through in good condition.

D. TRUE TO NAME. We use every precaution to have our stock true to name, but in case any should prove otherwise we will replace it or refund the amount paid, but in no case will we be respon- sible for any sum greater than that paid us for the stock. YOU ARE TAKING NO RISK. We send just what you order or re- fund your money, unless you tell us to substitute your order with the nearest to it we have, should we be out of the varieties or- dered. GUARANTEE. We intend to send out only first class stock that should live and grow if given proper attention after you receive it. We cannot, and do not, guarantee it to grow, as climatic and soil conditions may be such that the plant just cannot grow. However, if the plant does not grow and you want another one we will furnish it on payment by you of One-half the original price you paid us for the plant. Further than this we can make no replacement guarantee. CLAIMS. If any, must be made in writing within five days fromii receipt of stock. We cannot become responsible for damages to stock caused by droughts, floods, frosts, insects, fire, etc., and by stock not being taken from express office for several days after arrival. The Tingle Nursery Co., Pittsville, Md. Q,e*ieAa£ OAiiamentcd tfto-ck Little Plants For Little Money The value of a plant is not determined by its size, in- variably. Of course, it may be so small as to be of no value whatever. Many of us want a plant but cannot or do not want to pay as much for it as a large one will cost, but are perfectly willing, and sometimes rather, wait for it to grow if we can get a small one for less money. This is cur thought in preparing this catalog. You will find many new and rare plants offered herein that are impos- sible to get in large sizes, and many more that are more plentiful in the larger sizes but at a much higher price than ' we are asking for these smaller ones. We are growing in our nursery larger plants than we are offering of a good many varieties. If interested in these larger plants tell us what you want, we may have it.
