ORNAMENTAL TREES, SHRUBS, ETC. 



ADYIOE TO CORRESPONDENTS, 



(Please read before making out order.) 



Correspondents will greatly oblige by observing, as far as possible, the follow- 

 ing directions, 



1st. All orders should be legibly written out on the order sheet herein enclosed ; 

 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. Where particular trees or plants are ordered, it should be stated whether, 

 and to what extent, other varieties may be substituted, in case the order can not be 

 filled to the letter, as happens occasionally in all establishments. Our rule is, not 

 to substitute in any case, without being expressly requested to do so. 



4th. All trees and plants are carefully labelled and packed in the best manner 

 for any part of the United States, Canada or Europe, fo?- lohich a moderate charge is 

 made, but no charge is made for the delivery of packages at the railroad. 



5tli. It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shijiping packages accom- 

 pany each order. When it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance, we will 

 exercise our best judgment. We pack in such a manner that ornamental trees, 

 shrubs, evergreens and hardy border plants can go safely as freight. In all cases, 

 the articles are at the risk of the jrurchaser after being shipped; and if delay or loss 

 occurs, the forwarder alone must be held responsible. 



6th. Parties desiring to have stock forwarded to points west of Chicago, are reminded 

 that we are obliged to prepay the freight charges on all goods shipped west of that city. In 

 remitting, therefore, please send a sufficient amount of money to pay for the stock 

 ordered, as well as the transportation charges. 



7th. For shipment abroad, we pack in the best manner, in close boxes. Our 

 consignments to all parts of the world have generally been received in good condi- 

 tion, and parties who favor us with their orders, may rely upon the same having 

 careful attention. Shipments of this kind can usually be made to the best advan- 

 tage in the months of October and November. 



8tli. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a 

 draft on some of the principal cities, or post-office order for the amount. Please 

 send no order for less than one dollar. 



9th. Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may 

 be committed in filling their orders, so that we may at once make ample amends,, 

 as we desire to conduct our business in all respects satisfactorily to those w^ho favor 

 us with their confidence.
