Prices of this Catalog abrogate previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities 

 specified, out six and fifty of a variety will be supplied at (iozen and hundred rates respectively; but 

 hundred lots cannot be made up at hundred rates of less than fifty of a variety. 



How to Order. — Order early. .Small favors thankfully received always, but I cannot undertake to 

 fill an order of ies^ amount than one dollar, as the cost of recording and filling it would exceed the 

 small profit of same. Kindly use Order Sheet, and be sure to write your name and address plainly. 

 Give Post Office, County and State — and do this ever}- time you write to nie. Be particular to state 

 how the goods are t<.> be shipped; whether by mail, express or freight, and state plainly to what point 

 goods are to be sent. Keep a correct copy ot the order and check off the Plants, etc., when they arrive. 

 Persons sometimes forget what they order, and make unjust complaints. Ladie> will oblige me by pre- 

 fixing their names with "'Miss" or 'Mrs.,'" as the ca~e may be. I will do nn utmost to comply with 

 ihe wishes of patrons to pack adriitions to an order, or subsequent orders, in one package, or to make 

 reasonable changes in an order; but I cannot promise to do so. During tlie rush of the shipping sea- 

 son, when many orders are received and dispatched in a da}, it would, in some cases, be aln.ost im- 

 possible to comply. No change f)r countermand of an order can be con>idered final without my written 

 consent. 



Shipping. — I deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which, my control ceases ; 

 cousequentiy my responsibility also. I particularly caution patrons against ordering Perennial Plants 

 shipped by freight; they should always go by express, or in small lots by mail. Transportation charges 

 on all goids shipped by freight or express are to be paid by the purchaser, unless by special arrange- 

 ment. 



Mailing. — I send plants by mail ptjstpaid, it requested, wherever so noted, in connection with the 

 price. Whenever the price does not include postage, the rate of postage is given on all mailable arti- 

 cles, under their re-pective headings. Where nothin,^ is said as to postage, the goods are unmailable. 

 When ];]ants are to be sent by mail, it must be stated in the order. Nothing by mail at hundred rates. 



Packing is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack lightly; thereby reduc- 

 ing the expense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are packed free. Every 

 thing is labelled. 



Substitution. — It is my custom, should the supply of a variety be exhausted, (which will occa- 

 sionally occur in all establishments.) to substitute in its stead a similar sort. When it is desired that 

 I shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order. To simply affix the words "No Substitution" is 

 all that is nece>sary. 



Claims, if any. must be made upon receipt of goods, w hen they will be carefully and cheerfully 

 examined, and if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after fifteen days from receipt of goods 

 will not be entertained. I send out only good stock in good condition, carefully packed, in all cases; 

 but success or failure depends in so large a degree upon the care and management after received, that 

 I do not, because I cannot^ undertake to guarantee stock to live. 



Guarantee. — I warrant my stock true to name, with the explicit understanding that should any 

 prove untrue, I will return the money paid or replace it with other stock ; but I am not liable for dam- 

 age beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of my stock is the fact that customers of former 

 years continue to deal with me. 



United States Express, Adams Express and Southern Express shipments. I am able to ship direct 



to any point reached by these companies, and to all points of The American. Wells-Fargo, National or 

 Pacific Express via New York City, A discount of 20 per cent, is allowed on merchandise rates per 

 100 pounds, upon all shipments of Perennial Plants, Trees, Shrubs or Vines, and the charge is based,
