as we can usually send somewhat larger plants, and do not have to wash the soil off the roots (as is the case when sent by 

 mail.) We always try to add enough extra plants of our own selection to help pay charges. We always pack express 

 orders in light, strong baskets or boxes (which we furnish free.) Plants packed in this manner will carry nicely for a great distance, and keeji for a 

 week or ten days in a fresh condition. Please remember th at purchasers must i n all cases pay charges on Alt express plant orders. 



All (Tomnlfliflt^ mustbeentereduponrecelptof goods, or eise same win receive no attention. We cheerfully correct errors, but errors

 be returned immediately, or, as plainly stated above, complaints will receive no attention. 



: occasionally happens that an order is lost in coming to me. or the goods in going to the customer; therefore, if any who order 

 io not hear from me within a reasonable lenath of time they should send a duplicate order, naming the date on which the former 

 one wa.s sent, the amount of money enclosed, and in what form. This will enable us to investigate the matter, and fill the duplicate order with dis- 

 patch. >'o inquiries will receive attention which do not contain duplicate, etc.. as here mentioned. 



It would be a great accommodation to us if more of our customers would order their seeds during January and 

 February, before the rush of our busy season. If, however, you should postpone ordering even until the seeds are 

 actually needed, you can rely upon getting them promptly. 



Important! 



PLEASE ORDER 

 EARLY. 



p> ^11 *° write your name and address plainly. We have on our hands hundreds of orders of last year without 

 .:7UI C names, others without postoffice or state, and some with the name or postoffice written in such a care- 

 less or illegible manner that it is impossible to read them. Keep a correct copy of every order, that you may know when the package ftrives if all is 

 correct, as people often forget what they ordered, and complain without cause.

 I cannot too strongly urge you to order early, thus saving shipping rates, and avoiding as it does the heavy rush in the seed business, which occurs 

 during the months of Jlarch and April.
