SELECT LIST OF PLANTS FOR THE CONSERVATORY, WINDOW-GARDEN AND LAWN. 
Because of the well-known characteristics of this carefully selected list of the most useful and most popular ornamental 
plants for conservatory, house or garden culture, and for lack of space, we omit any extended descriptions, relying on our 
customers to recognize these favorites in most instances simp-y by name. 
PLANTS BY MAIL. 
When so instructed in the order, and except where otherwise noted, we mail 
small plants at catalogue prices, postage paid; but no order for plants by mail 
amounting to less than 25 cents will be accepted unless accompanied by 5 cents 
extra to cover mail charges. 
PLANTS BY EXPRESS. 
We advise our customers to have plants sent by express where possible, as 
not only do we send larger and finer plants than is practicable by mail, but they 
invariably arrive in better condition, and we always add enough extra plants 
gratis to compensate for the additional expense of expressage. As this plan, we 
find, meets with general approval, and believing it to be for the best interests 
of our customers, we always send plants by express (purchasers to pay charges) 
unless otherwise instructed in the order. 
DELIVERY FREE. 
All packages are delivered free of charge to all depots and express offices in 
Milwaukee, and no charge is made for boxes, baskets or packing, 
PACKING OF PLANTS. 
To insure the safe arrival of plants and without check to their growth, it is 
highly important that they be properly packed. By our system of packing our 
plants invariably reach their destination in perfect safety and as fresh as when 
they left our greenhouses, 
SAFE ARRIVAL OF PLANTS, 
We guarantee all plants to arrive safely and in good condition, if sent by 
express, and will cheerfully replace any not received in good condition, if notice 
is sent us immediately on receipt of the plants, but we take no risk on plants 
sent in any other way than by express, 
HOW TO TREAT PLANTS WHEN RECEIVED. 
Plants sent by express usually arrive in such perfect condition that no special 
treatm nt is required. If they should be dry, soak the balls of soil in cold water 
before potting or planting them. When sent by mail to a considerable distanc:, 
they are liable to get dry. If they should look wilted, place them in tepid water
