Qireetions to Correspondents, 



Philadelphia, September j, i8gj. 



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

 be an aid to purchasers as well as to ourselves. The bulbs we offer are exceptionally fine, and are from the 

 best growers of Holland and France. Our plant stocks are in excellent condition, and cannot fail to be satis- 

 factory in every way : 



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

 Seeds, in Packets and Ounces, when ordered at Catalogue prices. We also deliver, postage paid, to any Post 

 Office in the United States, Plants and Bulbs at Catalogue prices, except where noted. 



EXPRESS. It will be very much cheaper to the purchaser if goods are ordered to be sent by Express or 

 Freight at their expense, when desired. 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 Ex- 

 press or Freight at the purchaser's expense, except where noted. 



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



REMITTANCES should be made by Postal Money Orders, 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 dis- 

 claim 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 the receipt, requires more work than we can readily 

 perform. 



C. 0. D. We decline sending goods Collect on Delivery to distant points, unless a remittance be made on 

 account to guarantee the acceptance. 



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 cus- 

 tomers 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. Complaints must be made on re- 

 ceipt of goods. 



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

 tinctly 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 the 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.
