General Directions to Correspondents 
POSTAGE PAID.--We deliver, postage paid, to any Post Office in the United States, Vegetable and Flower Seeds, 
in Packets, Ounces and Pounds, at Catalogue prices, except where otherwise noted. : 
EXPRESS.—It will be very much cheaper to the purchaser if Seeds are ordered to be sent by Express or Rail at their 
expense, 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. Sveds, Plants and Bulbs are now taken by the leading Express Companies at a reduction of 
twenty per cent. from the xegular rates for merchandise.

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. We decline sending
