 _^_-_nn»ai_n_»««>»>»i.»9_>.i>__Bi>_o_n__->«>o__^ ADDITIONAL to the price of the plants be sent to pay 

 postage. It is quite as much trouble to handle, and requires nearly as much postage to mail a 50 cent order, as it does one of two 

 or three dollars worth of plants. 



I GUARANTEE THE SAFE ARRIVAL, in good condition, of all plants shipped by maU or express. 



PLANTS BY EXPRESS at buyer's expense. By special agreement the Express Companies are making very low rates on 



~— ■ - plant shipments, which are handled with care and dispatch ; and we can not impress the fact too 



vigorously, that larger, stronger and better plants are inrariably put into orders if sent by express, and in most instances enough 

 novelties and extra plants will be added to more than cover shipping charges. 



THOSE WHO SEND a neat, plainly written order will be sure to have it filled correctly, and "with dispatch, and will also 

 i_«__»»«_n>— receive some valuable novelty extras. Always carry out the exact price of each article, and after 

 adding the amounts, remit the exact sum, or delay is likely to occur. 



KINDLY KEEP YOUR ORDER for plants separate from your seed order, as per instructions on order sheet, so as to pre- 



II 1 1 vent any cause for delay or error. 



IT MAY HAPPEN occasionally, when seeds and plants are ordered together, that seed will be sent immediately and plants 

 — -i—o later, direct from greenhouses; therefore please do not be impatient if such be the case, preventing, as it 

 does, delay of seed oi-dered, and securing the shipment of plants in the very best condition.
