 wise we will forward plants by Express, buyer to pay express charges on delivery.

 Parcel Post to all points in the United States. Should anything 

 be injured in transit, we urge our customers to notify us at once 

 on receipt of the goods, and in every case send us a list of what 

 has been damaged so that we can replace them. But when they 

 arrive in good condition our responsibility ceases, and if from in- 

 attention or other causes they fail and complaint is then made we 

 cannot replace them.
