CATALOGUE OF FRUITS. aio 

ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

(Please read before making out order.) 
CORRESPONDENTS will greatly oblige, by observing, as far as possible, the following 
regulations: 
ist. / 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. In ordering fruit trees, it should in all cases be stated whether standard trees 
are wanted for orchards, or dwarfs for gardens. 
4th. Where particular varieties are ordered, and particular ages and sizes of trees, 
kinds of stock, etc., it should be stated whether, and to what extent, other varieties, 
sizes, ages, etc., may be substituted in case the order cannot 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. 
5th. All trees and plants are carefully labeled 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. 
6th. Ji ts requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping 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 fruit trees and small 
fruits, excepting strawberries, go safely as freight. 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. 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. 
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. Shipments of this kind can usually be made to 
the best advantage in the months of October and November. 
9th. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft 
on some of the principal cities, or post-office order for the amount. 
10th. 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 who favor us with 
their confidence.
