PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING PLANTS <2y 
TIME OF SHIPMENT.—AIl plants, whether the stock 
is seasonable or not, are forwarded as soon after receipt of the 
order as possible. Many of our customers who have facilities 
for their care, purposely order plants out of season so as to have 
them on hand when planting conditions are favorable. As we do 
not know whether you have such facilities, you must specify on 
the order when you want shipment made, if you do not wish 
them at once. 
RESERVATION OF PLANTS FOR PLANTING 
TIME.—While we try as far as possible to reserve plants on 
orders placed in advance, to be sent at planting time, it must be 
borne in mind that plants are highly perishable, and cannot be 
packed and stored for future shipment like most other kinds ot 
merchandise. | Weather conditions frequently interfere with 
making such reservations at the time the order is received, and 
when Spring opens there is usually such a congestion of orders 
for immediate shipment that it is impossible to make reservations. 
This is particularly the case during the present period of scarcity 
of not only skilled, but also common labor. Customers may 
rely on us doing our utmost in making reservations, but if we fail 
we assume no responsibility, and all advance orders are accepted 
on these conditions only. 
SAFE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED.—We guarantee the 
safe arrival of all goods sent by express or mail to points within 
the U. S. proper. If a package sent by express or mail is in- 
jured 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. 
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.

boats connect Philadelphia with Baltimore, Boston, Norfolk,
