 and cannot fail to be satisfactory in everj- way :

 Flower Seeds, in Packets, Ounces and Pounds, when ordered at retail prices. We also 

 deliver, postage paid, to any Post Office in the United States, Plants and Bulbs at the single 

 price, except where noted. 



POSTAGE TO KEMIT.— As prices of Peas, Beans and Corn are figured without deliverj' charges, it 



will be necessary for customers to remit for postage, when ordered to be sent by mail, at the rate 



of fifteen cents per quart, in addition to price.

or Freight at their expense, when desired in quantiries of several poimds and quarts, ^.n 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.

 facilitate the execution of your orders. During the busy season, to make out bills for cus-
