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

 two. If goods, notification of shipment or acknowledgment 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. 



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.

 lined cases or double sacks we charge for at cost.

SPECIAL IN REGARD TO THE SALE AND SHIPHENT OF PLANTS. 



All plants sent by express, unless specially ordered otherwise. 



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, nor in less amounts than three dollars for the total value 

 of the order. 



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



offered. Any one wanting 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 quoted 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 boxes or baskets, will now be carried 

 at the "General Specials" rate. This rate means a reduction of 20 per 

 cent, from the regular merchandise rates to all points where no " General 

 Special " exists. To points where a '• General 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 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.
