 to write their address plainly. 



Postage and Express Charges: All 

 small plants will, if so requested, be 

 sent by mail prepaid at the prices 

 quoted. But I strongly recommend 

 my customers to have their plants 

 sent by express, except to far-distant 

 points, as in sending plants by mail, 

 it is necessary to shake all the soil off 

 the roots and to send small plants, 

 otherwise the postage would amount 

 to more than I receive for the goods. 

 By express most of the soil can be 

 left about the roots, and I can send 

 larger and heavier plants, which will 

 arrive in much better condition.
