ADVICE LO CORRESPORDER IRS 
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 mistakés. 
Injease budded plants are ordered, state whether we shall send the same varieties 
on own roots, in case we cannot supply them budded. This is necessary where 
parties ordering have any preference for either mode. When nothing is said we exer- 
cise our best judgment, and tf out of budded plants send those on their own roots, and 
‘vice versa.” Budded plants, however, cannot be sent by mail—they are too large ; 
they can only go by express. 
2d.—To secure fine plants it is advisable that orders be sent in as early as possible, 
as late in the season the strongest plants will have been selected, and the stock of 
some varieties exhausted. We fill orders in strict rotation. 
3d..—Amateurs, in ordering, will do well to leave the selections to us as far as 
possible, but owr list ts open to all to make their own selections. Purchasers, however, 
will please say if they wish us to substitute in case all the varieties ordered cannot be 
supplied. In such case we always endeavor to send something better, where it is 
possible, than the kind called for. We do not substitute without being requested to do so, 
but uf out of any sort we add to the number of others ordered, unless otherwise directed. 
4th.—It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages 
accompany each order. All articles are at the risk of the purchaser after being 
shipped, and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarders alone must be held responsible. 
oth.—Our customers are requested to notify us immediately of any errors that 
may be committed in filling their orders so that we can at once make ample amends, 
as we desire to conduct our business, in all respects, satisfactorily to those who favor 
us with their confidence. 
6th.—All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft on 
some of the principal cities, or a Money Order for the amount. When neither can be 
had, enclose bank bills in registered letter. 
7th.—Ladies, in ordering, will please always sign the same name ; it often causes 
us much trouble to receive a letter from Mrs. Mary Smith, and shortly after another 
from the same party signed Mrs. James T. Smith. 
S8th.— Plants by Express. When no directions are given as to what way the 
plants are to be sent, we always forward by Express at the purchaser's cost, no charge being 
made for packing. The plants which we send in this way (except the new and very 
scarce varieties) are one year old buds, or one to two year old plants on own roots, and 
‘in the case of hardy sorts, are generally dormant. They are, of course, very much 
larger and more valuable than those sent by mail, and all who can afford it will do 
much better to get their plants in this way. These plants are the only ones suitable for 
immediate effective results. 
9th.—Plants by Mail. There isa large number of our customers who, liv- 
ing at remote distances from the Railroad or Express Offices, cannot conveniently 
receive packages by Express. There is another and larger class, whose means do not 
admit of expensive purchases, but who cannot and will not be without flowers, and
