OUR RED TRADE-MARK. 



While we no longer supply dealers, yet, as heretofore, 

 every package, large or small, of our seeds will bear our 

 Red Trade-Mark, a fac-simile of which is here shown. 



When We Execute Orders. 



Every order is filled immediately on arrival, or is acknowledged if 

 under rare circumstances its shipment is likely to be delayed for a day or 

 two. If goods, notification of shipment or acknowledgement of order is not 

 received by the customer after a reasonable lapse of time, it may be 

 assumed that the order has miscarried, or that the name or address was 

 omitted from the order. We will, when notified of such a case, use our best 

 efforts to trace it without delay. 



Give full shipping instructions on each and every order you send. To 

 avoid chance of error, never write letters on the same sheet as your order. 



We fill orders of all values from the smallest to the largest, and all 

 receive the same careful and prompt attention. 



ABOUT PACKING AND SHIPPING. 



When goods are ordered from both seed and greenhouse establishments 

 we always combine, where prac.icable, the orders and make one shipment 



We make no charge for packing, cases, baskets, packages or barrels 



and pack as lightly as possible, consistent with safety so as to reduce the 

 cost of carriage when paid by purchaser. In fact, we assume extra expense 

 in supplying light, strong cases, and. where possible, we pack in baskets 

 covered with waterproof covers, which greatly reduces weight. 



Cloth bags only we charge for. and these at cost, viz : 1 peck. 10c: \& 

 bush 12c.; 1 bush. 15c; 2 bush , 20c. All grass seed bags excepting bags for 

 Timothy and Clover, are furnished free. 



Special packing of seeds for foreign shipments, when necessary, in tin- 

 lined cases or double sacks we charge for at cost. 



We make no charge for cartage or delivery of goods to an}' railroad 

 station, steamship line or express office in New York City. 



The safe arrival is guaranteed of all goods sent by express to any part 

 of the United States or Canada. We ship plants at all seasons of the year, 

 even in the coldest weather. 



When shipped by freight we deliver all bulbs and roots properly packed 

 and in good condition, into the hands of transportation companies. After 

 that our responsibility ceases. Consignee then assumes all risks of healing, 

 freezing and delays. 



SPECIAL IN REGARD TO THE SALE AND SHIPMENT OF PLANTS. 



All plants sent by express, unless specially ordered otherwise, buyer 

 paying charges. 



Plants will be sent by freight if requested, but at purchaser's risk. 

 Plants will be sent by mail if so ordered, and it is practicable to do so, but 

 only at an advance of twenty-five per cent, on the prices quoted. 



The plants are offered in this list at the rates per 100 provided (except 



where they are otherwise offered) that not less than five of each class or 

 variety are taken. 



The varieties must be our own selection of sorts, unless otherwise 



offered. Any one warning special kinds, not offered in this wholesale list, 

 can order from our retail Descriptive Catalogue (The Manual of Everything 

 for the Garden) at the prices quott d therein, from which we allow a dis- 

 count of one-third. 



We have secured for our 

 customers from EXPRESS 

 COMPANIES. . . 



20 Per Cent. 



Reduction In Express Rates 

 on Plants. 



Under the new ruling of the leading Express Companies advocated and 

 secured by us, plants packed in closed or crated boxes will now be 

 carried at the '• General Specials " rate This rate means a reduction of 20 

 per cent, trom the regular merchandise rates to all points where no 

 "General Specials" exists. To points where a "Ge-eral Specials" rate is in 

 force the companies made a special reduction. Shipments weighing less 

 than 100 lbs. receive the benefit of the rate per 100 lbs., but the minimum 

 charge is 35c. For instance, where the regular merchandise rate is $4.00 per 

 100 lbs., a box of plants packed closed, weighing 100 lbs. will be carried for 

 $3.20, a saving of 80c on one shipment. 



Have your plants . . . 



Sent by Express. 



They will reach you quicker 



and in better condition 



than by any other 



way.
