ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



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

 regulations : 



1st. All orders should be legibly written out in a list, and not mixed up in the 

 body of the letter ; 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 or pyramids for gardens, and on what sort 

 of stocks each kind is desired ; and where it is left for us to choose varieties, the soil 

 and situation should be described as con-ectly as possible. 



4th. Where particular varieties are ordered, and particular ages and sizes of trees, 

 kinds of stocks^ &e., it should be stated whether, and to what extent, other varieties, 

 sizes, ages, (fee, 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 labelled and packed in the best manner for 

 any part of the United States, Canada or Europe, for which a moderate charge is 

 made, and no charge is made for the delivery of packages at the railroad or canal. 



6th, 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 tJie articles are at the risk of tlie %ncr- 

 cliaser after being shipped ; and if delay or loss occurs^ the forwarder alone must be held 

 responsible. 



7th. All orders fi-om unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft 

 on some of the principal cities for the amount, or references that will be satisfactory. 



8th. Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be 

 committed in filling their orders, in order 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.
