PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



Mail Orders. 



\/\ Ql "f" OF'Q ^^^ al'n-ays "welcome at our Green-houses in Jersey City, and any of our customers visiting New Tork Should not miss 

 V loIL^I O the opportunity to examine this important branch of our business, as our Green-houses and " Trial Grounds" are 

 ■within fort\' minutes time, by Feriy Boat and Horse Cars, from our Seed Stores, 35 and 37 Cortlandt Street, New York, where a card with 

 plain directions of ' ' How to reach the Green-houses " will be given to any one applying. Parties wishing to see Mr. Peter Hesderson 

 personally, will usually find him at the Green-houses till 12 M., and at his office in New York from 2 to 4 P. M.

 v-' VV LW KA 1 v_^ VV 1 ICxl 1 LOa instructions in plant growing, and to such as wish any information of that kind, we 

 would refer them to Peter Henderson's new edition of "Gardening for Pleasure," which is the accepted authority on the subject. {Seep. 1.) 



/^ yf\ 1 1 K^ i n Q" — ^® ^^^'^ ^'^ ^^^^ attention to our manner of grouping plants for special purposes, such as Bedding Plants, 

 VAl kJ\^j^III^* Hardy Climbing Pla^its, Basket and Vase Plants, Hardy Plants and Shrubs, Small Fruits, etc., etc. This arrange- 

 ment will aid our customers in making their selections. We also call attention to our " Abridged List," where many of our best things 

 will be found. See Inde.v for pages on which the above are. 



— All orders will be sent free, by mail, at our regular catalogue prices; but we cannot afford to give 

 purchasers 6^ «ja(7 the benefit of the "Club Terms," " Cash Discounts " or "Plant Premiums." The 



reasons for this are that in "Mail Orders " we prepay all postage, and the actual cost of packing a mail order is double that of packing for 



express. No Plant order by mail wUl be accepted for a less amount than SI. 00. 



HrWXT WTf^ P^ C^\( Pl^yrhQ —The accompanying cut shows a basket of plants 

 \J \\l VVCl Cl^rvi ICIIIUOm packed for express (as done fi-om April until 

 November). We have for years used these light baskets for sending out our plants by express, thus 

 reducing the transportation charges to a minimum. The express companies handle so much of our 

 goods that they take special care of all shipments bearing our card, so that we rarely have anything injured 

 in transit. So certain are we that plants will arrive in good order, that

 hold to our guarantee if, a month after, from inattention or other causes. Plants have failed, and com- 

 plaint is then made. Plants sent other than by express are entirely at the risk of the purchaser. 



is made for boxes, baskets or packing, and all goods are delivered at express 



or freight offices in New York City, free of charge. Our system of packing 



is so complete that we can now ship every day, no matter how cold or hot the weather may be, and rarely 

 have a complaint. During cold weather we pack in closed cases secure from frost, and guarantee safe arri- 

 val. IMPORTANT. — We will pack seeds, plants and all other articles purchased from us in one package, 

 if desired, thus saving e.vpressage, time and annoyance to our customers, but particularly request custom- 

 ers to make out all orders for plants on the plant order sheet, and for seeds, etc., on the seed order sheet, as this will expedite the forwarding 

 and filling, and be a material aid to us in executing all orders. 



— To such of our customers as have not the i)roper facilities for keeping plants during 

 Avinter and early spring, we would say that if they send their orders in as soon after the 



receipt of the catalogue as possible, notifying us what date they icant them shipped, we will then set the plants aside and ship them at 



the time they are wanted, without any additional charge for thus reserving the plants.

 our space before the selling season is over, we offer a cash discount of 10 per cent, from Catalogue prices on all cash orders for plants 

 shipped by express before April 1st. Another advantage to customers receiving their plants early is that they get larger and finer plants, 

 as orders are filled in rotation, the best plants being sent out first.
