PRICES of this Catalog abrogate previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities specified, 

 but six, fifty or five hundred OF A VARIETY will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thousand rates re- 

 spectively. (An exception is made of Strawberry plants. These must be taken in full dozen lots at dozen 

 rates and full 100 lots at hundred rates.) Hundred and thousand lots 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 hun- 

 dred of a variety-. 



HOW TO ORDER — Order early. Small favors thankfully received always, but I cannot undertake to fill 

 an order of less 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 every time you write to me. Be particular to state how the goods are to be shipped; 

 whether by mail, express or freiglit, and state plainly to wliat point goods are to be sent. Keep a correct 

 copy of the order and check off" the Plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons sometimes forget wliat they 

 order, and make unjust complaints. Ladies will oblige me by prefixing their names with "Miss" or "Mrs." 

 as the case may be. I will do my utmost to comply with the wishes of patrons to pack additions to an order, 

 or subsequent orders, in one pacliage, or to make reasonable changes in an order, i)ut I cannot promise to do 

 so. During the rush of tlie sliipping season, when many orders are received and dispatched in a day, it would, 

 in some cases, be almost impossible to comply. No change or countermand of an order can be considered 

 final without my written consent. 



SHIPPING — I deliver all goods to forwarders here witliout charge, after wliicli my control ceases, con- 

 sequently my responsibility also. I particularly caution patrons against ordering Perennial Plants and Straw- 

 berry Plants shipped by freight; they sliould always go by express, or in small lots by mail. Transportation 

 charges on all goods shipped by freiglit or express are to be paid by tlie purcliaser, unless by special arrange- 

 ment. 



MAILING — I send plants by mail postpaid, if 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 articles, under their 

 respective headings. Where notliing is said as to postage, the goods are unmailable. When plants are to be 

 sent by mail, it must be so stated in the order. 



PACKING 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 labeled. 



SUBSTITUTION — It is my custom, should the supply of a variety liecome exhausted (which will occasion- 

 ally occur in all establishments), to substitute in its stead a similar sort. Wlien it is desired that I shall not 

 do this, it must be stated in tlie order. To simply affix the words "No Substitution" is all that is necessary. 



CLAIMS, if any, must be made upon receipt of goods, when 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 enter- 

 tained. 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 CAN- 

 NOT, 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 damage 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 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 upon all 

 shipments of Perennial Plants, Trees, Shrubs or Vines; the minimum charge, however, being 35 cents on each 

 shipment. Patrons will please insist that this discount is allowed when paying charges. 



Should you receive two copies of this Catalog, please hand one to a neighbor who is interested in 

 Small Fruit Culture, or Hardy Perennial Plants.
