Free by Mail which are priced “postpaid,’’ will 
be delivered free by mail. Even to most distant countries, 
such as India, South Africa and Asia Minor, we ship this 
way with marked success. (See “ Foreign Orders.’’) 
ORDERS BY EXPRESS 
Two-year old roses, large size shrubbery, fruit trees, etc., 
are too large to mail and must be sent by express. We 
recommend that customers instruct us to ship smaller sized 
plants also by express, when in our judgment it is best to 
do so. Wecan send larger plants this way and can leave 
most of the earth on roots, which is of course much better 
for our customers. Express Charges must be paid by the 
purchaser, unless otherwise agreed. (See note foot of this 
page.) Also, we are careful to pack as Jight as safety of the 
plants will permit and add as many extras as we can afford 
to help cover charges. E 
The Cost of Express Charges 
you can estimate quite closely with the following schedule. 
Use the rate named for the town nearest you and count 
the weight of two-year old plants when packed ready to 
express about as follows: 12 plants—15 lbs.; 25 plants— 
30 lbs; 125 plants—100 lbs.; plants one-year old 20 to 
30 lbs. per 100 plants. 
We are served at West Grove by both the Adams and 
United States Express Companies, which enable us to 
deliver over every line in America. 
Express Charges to the following Points are as follows:

West of the Rocky Mountains, the express rate on plants 
is from 10c. to 12e. per lb., but charges when prepaid are 
only 8c. per lb. To save themselves unnecessary expense, 
therefore, we recommend customers living in that section 
to remit with their order sufficient money to prepay express. 
If too much be sent, we will return the difference prompily, 
after shipment is made. 
Express to Foreign Countries 
By express we can ship goods to any part of the world 
if the party ordering will name some one in New York to 
receive and forward the goods and prepay Ocean Freight. 
Further information and rates furnished on application.
