CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 3 



CONSERVATORY AND PARLOR PLANTS— We feel especially proud of the stock of plants we are growing and pre- 

 paring for conservatory or parlor culture. A finer lot of Palms, Ferms, Begonias, Lilies, Fuchsias, Geraniums, etc., we have never 

 seen. We have them in all sizes, from the LARGEST SPECIMEN to the smallest cutting or seedling, so that we are pre- 

 pared to fully supply all demands. 



HOW WE SHIP PLANTS— Small plants to distant and outlying points, and in small quantities, are quite frequently sent 

 by mail, and we exercise every care to have them reach their destination in good condition; but we cannot recommend this means 

 of carrying plants, in fact we always discourage it, knowing it to be most unsatisfactory, and we only resort to it when compelled 

 by circumstances. 



ORDER PLANTS SENT BY EXPRESS— For the same money we will gladly send a much larger plant by express than 

 "we possibly could by mail. The soil is all left on the roots; the plants can be more carefully packed, and they are sure to arrive in 

 good condition and receive no check to their growth. To encourage a preference for this means of having plants sent, we not only 

 send larger and better plants, but we always add enough extra to compensate for the additional expense of expressage. 



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. 



SAFE ARRIVAL OF PLANTS CUARANTEED—We guarantee all plants to arrive safely and in good condition, if sent 

 by express. We will cheerfully replace any or all plants not received in good condition, if notice is sent us immediately on receipt 

 of the plants. We do not hold ourselves responsible for plants which have been received in good condition, but which may after- 

 wards from some cause fail to grow. Neither do we take any risk on plants sent in any other way but by express. 



HOW TO TREAT PLANTS WHEN RECEIVED -Plants sent by express usually arrive in such perfect condition that 

 no special treatment is required. If they should be dry, soak the balls of soil in cold water before potting or planting them. 

 AVhen sent by mail to a considerble distance they are liable to get dry. If they should look wilted, place them in tepid water for 

 a short time and they will soon revive; then pot into as small pots as will conveniently hold the roots, or if planted immediately in 

 the garden, press the soil, which should be well pulverized, firmly around the roots; water and shade for a few days. 



PRICES— Following our usual custom, we this year maintain the same 7'easonahle, in fact loiv prices, we have always 

 aimed at. We believe we have never failed to give our customers entire satisfaction, always making them feel that they have re- 

 ceived full value for their money. This year we have the utmost assurance, knowing the superiority of our stock of all 

 kinds of plants, that we can give fully as good, if not better, satisfaction than we have in any previous year. At any rate, we were 

 never so well satisfied ourselves with the appearance of all our plants as we are at present. Reniemher, also, that we are 

 LIBERAL WITH EXTRAS, according to the value of the order. 



GARDEN TOOLS AND REQUISITES— Of these we carry a complete and extensive line. For detailed description and
