 sortment of plants best adapted in our climate for the flower

How to Order. — For general information regarding How and 

 When to Order and How to Hemit, we respectfully request 

 customers to carefully read the instructions on page 1 of this 

 Catalogue, which apply to Plants as well as to Seeds. 



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 invari- 

 ably arrive in better condition, and we always add enough 

 extra plants gratis to compensate for the additional expense 

 of expressnge. . 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 unless otherwise 

 Instructed in the order, purchasers paying the charges, which 

 are now by all the principal express companies, 20 per cent. 

 less than the rate on general merchandise. 



Plants by Mail — We do not recommend the mailing of plants, 

 as they are liable to suffer in transit, since the soil must be 

 removed from their roots, but when so instructed in the order 

 we will send small plants by mail, paying the postage, at our 

 Catalogue prices, but we cannot mail such things as dormant 

 Roses, Shrubs and other large plants. 



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. No charge Is made 

 for boxes, baskets of packing. 



Safe Arrival of Plants — We guarantee all plants to arrive 

 safely and in good condition, if sent by express, and will 

 cheerfully replace any hot 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.
