Payments invariably in advance. Goods sent C. O. D. only when one-fourth the amount is sent with order,

Orders. Please be sm-e and write your name and address plainly — give Post Office, Coimty, and State — and 

 do this every time you wi'ite. Be particular to say how the goods are to be sent ; whether by mail, express or 

 freight. When these conditions are not complied with, we use our judgment and ship by the way we deem best. 

 Keep a. correct copy of th^ order and check off the stock when it arrives ; people often forget what they have or- 

 dered and make imjust complaint. 



Goods by l^ail. We send free by mail, when desired, all seeds ordered by the packet, ounce, and quarter- 

 pound; also Bulbs and Plants when it is so stated in the Guide. When the price does not include postage, the rate 

 of postage is given on all mailable articles, under each heading. When goods are to be sent by mail it must be 

 so stated in the order and the necessai y amoimt for postage included in the remittance. Please note that the 

 rates of postage to Canada on Seeds, etc., is double that of the United States, hence in ordering goods by mail 

 Canadian customers will please remit double the amount of postage asked for in Guide. 



Trees and Plants. By mail postpaid, if desired, wherever so noted in Guide. Is othing by mail at thousand 

 rates. Whenever convenient to do so, we recommend that nursery stock be shipped by express or freight as 

 larger stock can then be sent. We particularly caution patrons against ordering Strawberry and Herbaceous 

 Plants shipped by freight ; they should always go by express or small lots by mail. The prices affixed are for the 

 quantities specified but not less than half-dozen, fifty and five hundred o/ a variety will be supplied at dozen, hun- 

 dred and thousand rates respectively. With apples, pears, peaches and other Fruit Trees, fifty in assorted var- 

 ieties of a class may be ordered at hundred rates and five hundred at thousand rates ; but hundi'ed lots of 

 strawberries, raspberries and other Small Fruits cannot be made up at hundred rates, of less than fifty of a 

 variety and thousand lots cannot be made up at thousand rates, of less than five hundred of a variety. 



Shipping. We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases, consequently 

 our responsibility also. Stock shipped west of the Mississippi River by freight has to be prepaid and orders for 

 stock to such points to be thus shipped must be accompanied with a remittance to cover freight charges in addi- 

 tion to amount for same as per prices and terms of Guide ; the surplus, if any, will in aU cases, of course, be 

 promptly returned to the party ordering. State plainly to what point goods are to be sent. 



Substitution. It is our custom, should the supply of a variety be exhausted (which will occasionally occur in 

 all establishmeats), to substitute in its stead a sort of the same season of ripening, and similar in other respects or 

 to give the value of another grade of the variety named. When it is desired that we shall not do this, it must be 

 so stated in the order. To simply affix the words "No substitution" is all that is necessary. 



Claims, if any, must be made on receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and cheerfully examined and, 

 if just, aU made satisfactory. Claims made after fifteen days from receipt of goods will not be entertained. We 

 send out only good stock in good condition, freshly dug and carefully packed, in all cases, but success or failure 

 depends in so large a degree upon the weather and the care and management after received, that we do not, 

 because ive cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live. 



Guarantee. We warrant our stock true to name, with the express understanding that should any not prove 

 so, we will refimd the money paid or replace it with other stock, but are not liable for damages beyond this. A 

 sure indication of the pm'ity of our stock is the fact that customers of former years continue to deal with us. 



Packingr is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack lightly, thereby reducing the 

 expense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are packed free. Everything is labelled. 



Special Low Express Rates. By special arrangement we are now able to ship to our customers by any express 

 line, to any part of the country. Trees, Plants, and all other Nursery Stock at the himdred pounds merchandise 

 rate, less a special reduction of twenty per cent, therefrom, the minimum ch-.rge being thii-ty-five cents. Thus 

 we secure for our customers a low express rate on all shipments that cannot go by mail or freight.
