mw ELLIOTT & SONS’ 
General Catalogue for 1893. 
A COMPREHENSIVE PRICE LIST OF 
GARDEN, FIELD anno FLOWER SEEDS, BULBS AND 
HORTICULTURAL SUNDRIES. 
TO OUR CUSTOMERS. 
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, asin the height of the busy season it is 
sometimes difficult to dispatch orders promptly. 
DESPATCH OF ORDERS.—AII orders will be promptly despatched on their receipt, or a reason given 
for their non-fulfillment. 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 MATIL.—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 postage 
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 a¢ 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 a stringent 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 to the same value. But we cannot guarantee 
the crop any further than the above offer, as there a'e 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, etc., from 
prominent cultivators 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.
