 and mail bill at once and expect payment within a fetf days. Persons not linown to me will kindly give reference 

 with order. I must ask to be excused from opening an acconnt for ten dollars or less, hence require cash before

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 respectively; however, hun- 

 dred 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 hundred 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 OfKce, 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 mall, 

 express or freight, and state plainly to what 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 what they order, and make unjust com- 

 plaints. 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 package, or 

 to make reasonable changes in an order, but I cannot promise to do so. During the rush of the shipping 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 without charge, after which my control ceases, consequently 

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

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

 goods shipped by freight or express are to bs paid by the purchaser, unless by special arrangement. 



MAILING — ^I send plants by mail postpaid, if requested, wherever so noted, in connection with the price. When- 

 ever the price does not include postage, the rate of postage is given on all mailable articles, under their respective 

 headings. Where nothing 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 ex- 

 pense 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 become exhausted, (which will occasionally oc- 

 cur in all establishments), to substitute in its stead a similar sort. When it Is desired that I shall not do this, It 

 must be stated in the 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 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 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 per 100 pounds, upon all shipments of 

 Perennial Plants, Trees, Shrubs or Vines, and the charge is based, even for small shipments, upon the 100 pound 

 rate; the minimum charge, however, being 35 cents on each shipment. Patrons will please insist that this discoant 

 is allowed when paying charges.
