As our system of packing is so complete, that although we send out thousands of packages during the 

 coldest days of winter, we rarely have a case injured when sent by express. 



ALL PLANTS ARE SENT BY EXPRESS, UNLESS SPECIALLY ORDERED OTHERWISE. 



We send plants by mail if desired, but earnestly advise that wherever there is an Express Office, plants 

 should never be sent by mail, as we not only send larger and finer plants when sent by express, but they 

 arrive in better condition, and we always add enough, gratis, to cover express charges. 



It will be to the interest of purchasers to leave the selection of varieties to us, as it is difficult to judge of 

 the merits of varieties by descriptions. 



We invite attention to the extensive variety of plants offered in this Catalogue, and to a comparison of 

 prices. Our rates, we claim, average less than half that of the prices for plants charged by the leading florists 

 of London, Edinburgh, or Paris ; a most casual examination will corroborate this assertion. We last season 

 rebuilt the greater part of our Greenhouse establishment, and have largely increased its area, so that we now 

 cover a space of nearly three acres solid in glass. This immense extent of greenhouse space enables us to grow 

 all kinds of plants in the best manner and at lower rates than ever before offered. We received last season 

 over 4,000 letters, from every State and Territory in the Union, testifying to the fine condition in which 

 plants are received. 



NO CHARGE FOR BOXES, BASKETS, OR PACKING. 



Orders from unknown correspondents, unless accompanied by a remittance, or satisfactory reference, will be sent by 

 express, C. 0. J). We make no deviation from this ride. 



Remittances made by Draft or Post Office Order, at our risk. 



All customers who purchase goods from THIS CATALOGUE to the extent of $10.00 and upwards (in one 

 order), will be sent their choice of any one of our three books, "Gardening for Profit," "Gardening for 

 Pleasure," or "Practical Fle-riculture, " without extra charge; but it is understood that the book wanted must 

 be selected at the time of ordering. When the book is not wanted the value will be sent in extra plants. 



Plants and Seeds may be sent in the same package when desired, thereby saving additional express 

 charges, but the orders should be made out on separate order sheets. 



Persons wishing to examine stock should call at our Seed Store, 35 Cortlandt Street, New York, where a 

 card with directions will be given to reach the Greenhouses at Jersey City Heights. Time from Seed Store, 

 30 minutes by steam cars, or 40 minutes by horse cars. I may here say, that parties wishing to see me per- 

 sonally, will find me at the greenhouses until 12 M., and at my office in New York from 1:30 to 3 P. M.
