ELLWANGER & BARRY'S 



5th. Our customers are requested to notify us, immediately, of any errors that may 

 be committed in filling their ordei*s, 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 unknoicn correspondents, must be accompanied with a draft on 

 some of the principal cities, or a money order for the amount. AVhen neither can be had 

 enclose bank bills in registered letter. 



7th. Ladies, in ordering, will please ahvays 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. 



8th. Plants by Express. When no directions are given o,s to what way the 

 plants are to be sent, toe 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 coui-se, 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 efiective results. 



9th. Plants by Mail. There is a large number of our customers who, living 

 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 particularly 

 Avithout Eoses. To such we are pleased to offer special inducements in the shape of 

 Eoses by Mail, at very low prices, thus enabling all to provide themselves with the 

 most beautiful flowers. The plants are sent post-paid at the prices named on page 8, but 

 the money must be sent wdtli the order, as the very large number of 

 letters received by each mail, makes it a very laborious matter to keep open accounts 

 with each customer. 



The plants sent by mail are grown in two and a half and three inch pots ; they are- 

 healthy young plants, Avell rooted, carefully prepared for mailing. 



Those who prefer to receive plants of mailing size by Express can do so, and we will,, 

 in these cases, send such measure as will compensate for Express charges. 



Note carefully the habit of growth as stated in description, and you will not be dis- 

 appointed in size of the plants ; it would be very unreasonable to expect plants of 

 .Monsieur Noman as large as La Beine, or Xavier Olibo as strong as Jacquem.inot. We 

 have the very best quality of each kind, that it is possible to grow.
