ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
CorrEsponDENts will greatly oblige, by observing, as far as possible, the following 
regulations : 
1st. All orders should be legibly written out in a list, and not mixed up in the body 
of the letter ; this will save us much trouble, and at the same time prevent mistakes. 
2d. The names of everything ordered should be plainly written out. 
3d. In ordering Fruit Trees, it should in all cases be stated whether standard trees are 
wanted for orchards, or dwarfs or pyramids for gardens, and on what sort of stocks each 
kind is desired; and where it is left for us to choose varieties, the soil and situation 
should be described as correctly as possible. 
4th, Where particular varieties are ordered, and particular ages and sizes of trees. 
kinds of stocks, &c., it should be stated whether, and to what extent, other varieties, sizes, 
ages, &c., may be substituted in case the order cannot be filled to the letter, as happens 
occasicnally in all establishments. Our rule is not to substitute in any case, without 
being expressly requested to do so. 
5th. All trees and plants are carefully labelled and packed in the best manner for 
any part of the United States, Canada or Europe, for which a moderate charge is made, 
and ne charge is made for the delivery of packages at the railroad or canal. 
6th. It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages 
" accompany each order. Where it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance, we will 
exercise our best judgment; but in,all cases the articles are at the risk of the purchaser 
after being shipped ; and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarder alone must be held responsible. 
7th. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft on 
some of the principal cities for the amount, or references that will be satisfactory ; and 
no credit will be given for a less amount than twenty-five dollars. When credit is given, 
a satisfactory note, payable at some bank, will in all cases be required. 
Sth. Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be 
committed in filling their orders, in order that we may at once make ample amends, as 
we desire to conduct our business in all respects satisfactorily to those who favor us with 
their confidence.
