Preliminary Remarks. 
eS 
The plants, seeds and bulbs offered in this Catalogue are, with very 
few exceptions, grown in my own greenhouses and gardens. The 
plants are started from vigorous out-door stock, and should in conse- 
quence 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 estab- 
lished. 
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 ts 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 state whether other plants are 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 applicants, and if they order stock, they may deduct the amount 
from their first order. 
If plants and seeds give good satisfaction, any expressions of appre- 
ciation will be gladly received.
