Directions to Correspondents. 



Philadelphia, January, 1894. 

 The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, which will, if 

 followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as to ourselves. 



POSTAGE PAID. — We deliver, postage paid, to any Post Office in the United States, Vegetable and Flower Seeds, 

 in Packets, Ounces and Pounds when ordered at Catalogue prices, except where otherwise noted at the foot 

 of each page. 



EXPRESS. — It will be very much cheaper to the purchaser if goods are ordered to be sent by Express or Freight at their ex- 

 pense, when desired in quantities of pounds, quarts and upwards. In all cases where possible we advise our 

 customers to have their plants forwarded by Express, as larger and finer plants can be sent, and " extras " are added 

 to help defray charges. 



FREIGHT. — Fertilizers, Implements, and miscellaneous bulky or heavy articles can be sent only by Express or Freight, at the 

 purchaser's expense. 



PACKING. — No charge is made for boxes or packing, nor for delivery to Freight ^Depots or Express Office. 



REMITTANCES— Should be made by Post Office Money Order op Postal Notes, Drafts on Philadelphia or New York 

 banks, or Express Money Orders. Where it is not possible to obtain these, the letters should be registered. We 

 disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not made as above directed. Postage Stamps will be found a con- 

 venient method of remitting for small amounts, and can be used by us to advantage. 



CASH WITH ORDER. — Please send money with the order sufficient to cover the whole bill, to facilitate the execution of 

 your orders. During the busy season, to make out bills for customers, charge, and in a few days receive the money, 

 make the proper credit and send receipt, requires more work than we can readily perform. 



NEW CUSTOMERS. — Orders from parties unknown to us, to insure prompt attention, must be accompanied by a remittance 

 or by satisfactory reference lo some responsible house, or to some person of our acquaintance. 



ORDER EARLY. — It will greatly facilitate shipment if orders are sent in early. We aim to send off all orders the next day 

 after receipt, but during the busy season it is nearly impossible— hence the advisability of ordering early. 



ERRORS. — We exercise the utmost care in filling orders, striving to do a little more than we offer, yet in the press of business 

 errors sometimes occur, in which event we wish to be promptly notified of the fact, and will make such corrections 

 as will be satisfactory. Please keep copies of all your orders for comparison. 



SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES. — We endeavor to secure the safe arrival of packages of Seeds, Bulbs and Plants 

 in good condition in every case. If a package is injured or lost, we will replace it as soon as informed of the fact. 

 Frequently it happens that orders never reach us, or are without signature. When customers fail to receive their 

 packages in a reasonable time, they should inform us, and at the same time send a copy of their order and any other 

 information necessary to trace the goods. 



NAME AND ADDRESS. — Please remember to write your Name, Post Office, County and State as distinctly as 

 possible, and apart from the body of the letter, to facilitate execution and prevent errors ; also the nearest 

 Express Office, or, if on a Stage route, send us special directions, giving us the name of the Express Company 

 delivering goods. 



PLANT ORDERS should be on a separate sheet; the departments are separate, but shipments of seeds and plants are 

 made in one parcel, to avoid additional Express charges.
