ELLWANGEB & BARRY'S CATALOGUE. 



ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



Correspondents will greatly oblige by observing, as far as possible, tbe following 

 regulations : 



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, for which a moderate charge is made, 

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



5th. 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- 



6th. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft 

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



7th. Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be 

 committed in filling their orders, 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. 



8th. For shipment abroad, we pack in the best manner, either in close boxes or 

 Wardian cases. Our consignments to all parts of the world have generally been received 

 in good condition, and parties who favor us with their orders, may rely upon the same 

 having careful attention. On the last page of this catalogue will be found several letters 

 from customers who have received our stock. Shipments of this kind are usually made 

 in the months of October and November.
