IW SPECIAL NOTICE. — All orders, unless instructions are received to the contrary, are executed 

 and forwarded upon receipt. Customers placing orders for stock to be reserved and sent later must 

 distinctly specify this at the time of ordering. 



PLANTS BY MAIL. — Plants, Bulbs and Seeds are not 

 carried at the Parcel Post zone rates for general merchandise, 

 but at the old rate of 1 cent for each 2 ounces or 8 cents per 

 pound to all parts of the country, therefore only small plants 

 will be sent free by mail when so desired. The greater part 

 or all of the soil is removed from the roots, which are carefully 

 packed in damp moss. We cannot forward bulky plants, such 

 as Azaleas, Camellias, Roses. Shrubs and similar stock by 

 mail. In all cases, except where the package is of very light 

 weight, the cost of transportation is less by express than by 

 mail. 



PLANTS BY EXPRESS.— We do not deliver planis free 

 by express, the purchaser paying the charges. We strongly 

 urge this method of transportation, as it enables us not only to 

 give better values in the form of larger and finer plants, but we 

 also always add liberal "extras" to help defray charges, and 

 unless instructed to the contrary, all orders are for- 

 warded by express. 



STEAMBOAT LINES.— Fast lines of boats connect Phila- 

 delphia with Baltimore, Boston, Fall River, Providence, Nor- 

 folk, Richmond, Savannah, Troy and Alliany. This forms a 

 convenient, cheap and safe method of transportation, except 

 during severe cold weather. 



PLANTS BY RAIL.— Shrubs, Hedge Plants and other 

 dormant stock can be forwarded safely by fast freight lines, 

 even to very distant points, at low rates. 



PACKING FREE. — We make absolutely no charge for 

 boxes or packing, or delivery to any express, freight or steam- 

 ship line in Philadelphia. 



SAFE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED.— We guarantee the 

 safe arrival of all plants to any part in the U. S. or Canada 

 when sent by express, if forwarded in any other man- 

 ner they are entirely at the risk of the purchaser. 



FOREIGN SHIPMENTS.— We ate constantly making 

 shi])nients of Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, etc., to Europe, Cuba, the 

 U. S. possessions in the East, etc., and by our system of pack- 

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

 anything but the best condition. 



PLANTING TABLE. 



The table below shows the number of plants required to fill a circular bed of the dimensions given. In planting begin outside 

 row — where G inches apart, 3 inches from edge of bed; where 12 inches apart, 6 inches from edge of bed. It is customary among 

 professionals in planting a bed to set the plants somewhat closer together in the two outer rows, giving more space between each 

 plant towards the centre of the bed.

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

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