'HE plants, seeds and bulbs offered in this catalogue are, with few excep- 

 tions, grown in my own greenhouses and gardens. The plants are started 

 from vigorous out-door stock, and should, in consequence, be the more 

 satisfactory for growing in house, garden, or greenhouse. Many of the 

 novelties are offered by no one else, and others have originated here which are now 

 disseminated far and wide. 



I use every precaution to prevent any mistake in the name of a plant, and 

 never intentionally send out a plant under a wrong name. 



The greatest pains are taken in packing, and I am prepared to ship plants to 

 any part of the country by mail, freight or express. 



When ordering, always state how plants shall be shipped. 



I pay postage on all small plants, which are, however, well established. 



When large plants are desired, or plants with the soil left on them, I do not 

 pay for shipping, but will willingly send enough plants to make up the amount. 

 When this is desired, parties will please make a request accordingly. 



No plant order is filled for less than one dollar ($1.00). 



Seed orders are filled to any amount. 



In sending a list, please give second choice of plants to be sent in case I am 

 out of any named. 



Should plants be received in bad condition, report should be made at once, 

 and I will replace them. Any complaint must be made within ten days after receipt 

 of plants. 



My Catalogue is free to all customers. The price is ten cents to all new appli- 

 cants, and if they order stock, they may deduct the amount from their first order. 



If plants and seeds give good satisfaction, any expressions of appreciation 

 will be gladly received.
