ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS 



[Please read before making out order.] 



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

 regulations : 



1st. All orders should be sent in as early as possible to insure prompt attention, as 

 it is our rule to execute them in the order in which they come to hand,; hence we cannot, 

 except for extraordinary reasons, delay orders, received first, for those coming late in the 

 season and requiring attention at once. 



2d. All orders should be legibly written out on the order sheet herein enclosed ; 

 this will save us much trouble, and at the same time prevent mistakes. 



3d. In ordering fruit trees, it should in all cases be stated whether standard trees 

 are wanted for orchards, or dwarfs for gardens. 



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

 kinds of stock, etc., it should be stated whether, and to what extent, other varieties, sizes, 

 ages, etc., 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 labeled and packed in the best manner for 

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

 but no charge is made for the delivery of packages at the railroad. 



6th. It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages accom- 

 pany, each order. When it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance we will exercise 

 our best judgment. We pack in such a manner that fruit trees and small fruits, except- 

 ing strawberries, go safely as freight. In all cases the articles are at the risk of the 

 purchaser after being shipped, and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarder alone must be 

 held responsible. 



7th. For shipment abroad we pack in the best manner, in close boxes. Our con- 

 sia:nments to all parts of the world have generally been received in good condition, and 

 parties who favor us with their orders, may rely upon the same having careful attention. 

 Shipments of this kind can usually be made to the best advantage in the months of 

 October and ISI'ovember. 



8th. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft 

 on some of the principal cities, or post-office order for the amount. 



9th. Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be 

 committed in filling their orders, so that we may at once make ample amends, as we 

 desire to conduct our business in all respects satisfactorilj' to those who favor us with 

 their confidence.
