ADOut Forwarding Plants. 
Unless otherwise ordered we send all plants 
by express (buyer to pay charges). Hardy 
shrubs and yines and hardy roses may be sent 
safely by freight, but unless the shipment is 
a large one express is cheaper, quicker and 
safer. Small lots of Geraniums, Fuchsias, 
Young Palms, Begonias, Ferns, Violets, 
Heliotropes and Primulas may be sent free 
by mail, if desired. We guarantee the safe 
arrival of all plants sent by express. Should 
anything be injured in transit, send us a list 
of what has been damaged, so that we can 
replace them. If in good condition when 
received our responsibility ceases, and if 
from inattention or other causes they fail 
and complaint is then made, we cannot re- 
placethem. Plants sent other than by express 
are entirely at the risk of the purchaser. 
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 a reduction of 20 per cent. 
from the regular merchandise rates.

ALMS We call particular attention to our list of Palms, and 
* venture to say that for the money expended there is 
nothing we offer which will give more satisfaction to our custom- 
ers. They are especially grown for window and room culture, 
and with ordinary care can be kept in perfect condition for years. Our 
stock of Roses, Carnations, Primroses, Chrysanthemums and other 
winter-blooming plants is exceptionally fine, and contains only such 
varieties as are specially adapted for this purpose. In this connection 
we would say that the variety of plants which will thrive and bloom 
during the winter months is comparatively limited, and the lack of suc- 
cess which occasionally discourages amateurs is due more frequently to 
a poor selection of varieties than to mistakes in culture. With this point 
in view, we have carefully selected only such sorts as are adapted for 
this purpose, so that the most inexperienced amateur is perfectly safe in 
ordering from this catalogue, from the fact that it contains only such 
plants as are highly ornamental, either in flower or foliage, during the 
fall, winter and early spring months. We also offer a range of sizes in 
nearly everything, thus enabling customers to secure a large plant for 
immediate effect, or a small one at a low price, if desired.

Many amateurs are often at a loss what plants to select from the 
great variety offered in a catalogue, and to aid such we offer the follow- 
| ing collections. In these collections we send our best plants and finest 
varieties, and purchasers secure them at less than regular rates, but in 
every instance the selection must be left tous. These collections embrace 
all the leading plants suitable for winter-flowering or decorating, all of 
which may be grown in a light window or sitting-room, such as Abutilons, 
Azaleas, Begonias, Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Fuchsias, Geraniums, 
Heliotropes, Palms, Primulas, Roses, Violets, etc., ete.
