TiriE OF SHIPMENT.— All orders, unless instructed to 

 the contrary, are executed and forwarded on receipt. Custom- 

 ers placing orders for stocks to be reserved and sent later must 

 distinctly specify this at the time of ordering. 



HOW WE SHIP.— All Plants, Roots and Bulbs are for- 

 warded by express, purchaser paying charges, which are now very 

 reasonable. For those of our customers who live at a distance 

 from an express office, making it more convenient for them to 

 receive their goods by parcel post, we will be pleased to for- 

 ward in this manner such plants, etc., as can be sent in this way 

 at the following additional cost to cover postage, which must be 

 added to the value of each order for Plants, Roots or Bulbs : 

 To all points East of the Mississippi River, 10 per cent, extra.

Heavy Plants, such as Azaleas, Camellias, Shrubs, Tree 

 Roses, as well as the larger sizes of Palms, and other ornamental 

 foliage and flowering plants, cannot be sent by mail. 



We strongly recommend our customers to have all their orders 

 forwarded by express, as our experience shows that this method 

 is not only quicker and safer, but also cheaper than parcel post, 

 except on small packages. 



SAFE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED.— We guarantee the 

 safe arrival of all goods sent by express or mail to points in the 

 U. S. If a package sent by express or mail is injured or lost 

 we will replace it as soon as informed of the fact. Goods sent 

 in any other way are solely at purchaser's risk. Claims for 

 damages must be made on receipt of goods. We do not hold 

 ourselves responsible for failure after delivery of the goods in 

 good condition. 



SH1PHENTS BY STEAMBOAT.— Fast lines of steam- 

 boats connect Philadelphia with Baltimore, Boston, Fall River, 

 Norfolk, Richmond, Savannah, Troy and Albany. This forms 

 a convenient, cheap and safe method of transportation, except 

 during severe cold weather. 



PLANTS BY RAILROAD FREIGHT.— Shrubs, Hedge 



Plants and other dormant stock can be forwarded safely by fast 

 freight lines even to distant points at low rates. 



FOREIGN SHIPMENTS.— We are constantly making 

 shipments of Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, etc., to Europe, Cuba, the 

 U. S. Possessions in the East, etc., and by our careful system of 

 packing it is unusual for the goods to reach their destination in 

 anything but the best condition. 



PACKING FREE. — We make no charge for boxes, pack- 

 ing or delivery to any Express, Freight or Steamship Line in 

 Philadelphia.

A square bed will take about the same number of plants. For an oval bed, add length and breadth and divide by 2. For 

 example, an oval 7 feet long by 5 feet wide will require same number of plants as a circular bed 6 feet in diameter.
