ORDER EARLY. 
We endeavor to place our Catalogue in the hands of our regular customers early in January, and it will 
be a great help to us if orders are sent in early, as in the height of the busy season it is sometimes 
difficult to dispatch orders promptly. 
DISPATCH OF ORDERS. 
All orders will be promptly dispatched on their receipt, or a reason given for their non-fulfilment. 
Plant orders are sometimes delayed by severe weather, and they at all times take longer to execute than 
orders for Seeds and Bulbs. 
FREE BY MAIL. 
All Flower and Vegetable Seeds in packets, with the exception of Peas, Beans and Corn, will be forwarded 
free by mail, when so desired, at prices quoted in this Catalogue. Fifteen cents per quart additional on 
Peas and Beans, and ten cents per quart additional on Corn, must be added to cover Posaee when 
these are to be sent by mail. 
SAFE DELIVERY OF ORDERS. 
We guarantee the safe delivery in good condition of orders in all cases. If a package is lost we will 
replace it as soon as informed of the fact. It sometimes happens that orders never reach us or are 
without a signature. When customers fail to receive their goods in a reasonable time they should 
inform us and, at the same time, send a copy of their order. 
REMITTANCES. 
Remittances may be made at our risk by Bank Draft, Post Office Money Order, or Postal Note, Express 
Order, or Registered Letter. Small amounts may be sent by ordinary mail, and postage stamps can 
always be used by us to advantage. 
TESTED SEEDS. 
We have always made it astringent rule that all Seeds should be tested prior to shipment. We have 
hitherto found this method one of success, and have therefore been enabled to ensure greater confidence 
in our friends by so doing. 
WE GUARANTEE. 
That all seeds sold by us shall prove to be as represented, to this extent, that should they prove otherwise 
we will replace them or send other Seeds tothe same value. But we cannot guarantee the crop any 
further than the above offer, as there are so many causes which operate unfavorably in the germination 
of seeds and maturity of the crop, over which we have no control. We can only undertake, therefore, 
to use our utmost care and skill in this matter, and cannot warrant any article, nor undertake any 
responsibility in case of failure or disappointment. 
AUCTION DEPARTMENT. 
In connection with our Seed and Bulb trade we conduct an extensive business in the sale of Plants at 
Auction, Our Auction Sales of Rare and Valuable Plants, Palms, Orchids, ete., from prominent culti- 
vators in this country and abroad. are held on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week in Spring and Fall, 
and are personally conducted by Mr. William Elliott, the senior member of our firm. 
Catalogues are issued three days previous to day of sale and will be mailed to any one applying for them. 
AARVARVANAAAAAAANAA 
The attention of our customers is particularly called to the following seven pages of NOVELTIES 
and SPECIALTIES in which will be found the best of the recent introductions in Vegetables and 
Flowers, a number of which are now offered for the first time. All are worthy of trial.
