READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING. 



IRame auD HDDreSS. Wnte your Name, Post Office, County and State as plainly and legil?dy as 

 possible. Instances are not rare where correspondents, in sending us orders, neglect to give either name 

 or location. Where such oversights occur, it is, of course, impossible for us to fill orders until we hear 

 from the senders again. 



ISLSC tbC ©r&er SbeCt. Make out x-our list of requirements in the order given in the Catalogue, 

 placing the quantity wanted before the article, and the price of the same after, and using the upright columns 

 allotted for that purpose. It is better always to keep a cf)py of your orders. 



(E0lTeSP0U&CUCe should not be intermingled w'itli the body of the order, but either written at the 

 bottom, or on one side of the order slieet. or on a separate sheet of paper. 



IRcntittaUCCS. i'lie safest method of sending money is by Post Office Orders; where they are not 

 obtainable, it can be sent by Express Money Order, Registered Letter, or Draft on New York. For small 

 amounts, postage stamps are acceptable. 



IKUbCU tbC IRClllittaUCC is not sufficient to pay for the quantity of seeds ordered, we will reduce the 

 quantity to correspond with the remittance. 



]Eri*OrS. We very rarel\- have any complaints made on this score, as all possible precautions are taken 

 to avoid their occurrence. Notify us at once if your order is not filled as it should be, and we will promptly 

 make the necessary corrections. 



Substitution, it sometimes occurs that late in the season we may have sold all our stock of some 

 particular article ordered. We will in such case substitute the variety nearest akin to it, if requested to do 

 so; otherwise the money will be refunded. 



jfOr prices on Xarge Quantities of See&S, write for our Market Gardeners' or Florists' Catalogue, 

 whiclr is, ho.vaver, only furnisheJ on presentation of business card, or other evidence sufficient to show 

 that the applicant is entitled to the same. 



IPaCftinQ. There will be no charge for packing or delivery to depots, boats, or express office. Fifteen 

 cents will be charged for two-bushel cotton sacks, when such are required. In no case do we prepay 

 Express or Freight charges unless by special agreement.

 quarter pound, ounce or packet are forwarded, postpaid, at the prices herein named. Postage must be added 

 for Peas, Beans and Corn, where quoted b\- the pint or quart as stated under the headings. We reserve 

 the privilege of sending s -eds hv express, prepaid, if more suitable to us. Purchasers when ordering will, 

 therefore, please give the name of their express office. 



See5S b^ lE.ipceSS. Seeds quoted by the peck, bushel and larger quantities are forwarded at pur- 

 chaser's expense ; likewise all other heavy or bulkv articles named herein. Unless goods are of a perishable 

 nature, we send C. O. D., if requested. As prices are all given in the Catalogue, there is no necessity for 

 having goods forwarded in this manner, the purchaser thereby incurring the extra return charges. 



SbipnientS by jfteigbt. Seeds in bulk, implements, and other heavy goods we generally ship by 

 freight. Unless there is a freight agent at point of destination, tlie freight must be paid in advance, and 

 unless by special arrangement with us. tlie purchaser must advance the same. Our facilities for shipping to 

 points south of Pittsburgh on the Ohio river and connecting streams are excellent, steamers plying daily 

 between here ami southern points. Points above Pittsburgh, on the rivers, are also accessible by boat. 



Catalogues are sent free to all our customers of the past year, and to all others who apply for them. 

 Should any of our customers change their place of residence, we desire them to inform us of their where- 

 abouts, that we may make the necessary correction of address in our Catalogue list. After a period of one 

 year, the names of tliose who have not acknowledged the receipt of our Catalogue will be stricken from our 

 list — we take it for granted that the\' do not wish it anj' longer. Senr/ iis an order, be it ever so small, and we 

 will send yon both spring and fall Catalogues the next season. Any of our patrons who receive more than 

 one copy of this Catalogue will please liand a copy to some one whom the}' know to be interested in garden- 

 ing. Their names have probably been duplicated on our register, and as we are annually at heavy expense 

 for Catalogues, we can ill afford to liave an\' wasted. 



please Contpave prices with those of any other reliable house. We decline to compete with 

 called cheap seeds.
