We recommend to our customers to have their orders forwarded 

 by Express as our experience shows that this method is usually 

 the most satisfactory, except on small packages. 



Local Delivery— There is no charge for delivery of goods in 

 Philadelphia and immediate suburbs. 



Shipment by Steamboat -Fast hnes of Steamboat connect 

 Philadelphia with Baltimore, Boston, Jacksonville, Miami, and 

 Savannah. This forms a convenient, cheap, and safe method 

 of transportation for heavy goods except during severely cold 

 weather. 



Plants by Railroad Freight— Shrubs, Hedge Plants, and 

 other dormant stock can be forwarded by fast freight even to 

 distant points. 



Canadian Shipments — Flower Seeds are sent postpaid. The 

 complicated regulations concerning the importation of Vegetable 

 Seeds from the United States into Canada force us, much to 

 our regret, to decline all orders for Vegetable Seeds sent from 

 Canada. All other goods are sent "Not Prepaid" by Express or 

 Freight, purchaser paying all transportation charges as well 

 as custom's duties. Patrons who wish to purchase Plants or 

 Bulbs must first secure a permit from the Department of 

 Agriculture, Ottawa. If mailable Plants, Roots, and Bulbs 

 are wanted by Parcel Post add 20 per cent, of amount of order to 

 cover postage and special packing. Remittances from Canada 

 must be made in U. S. funds. 



Foreign Customers will please remit in U. S. funds. Flower 

 Seeds and Vegetable Seeds quoted "Prepaid" (except* Beans, 

 Peas, and Com) will be prepaid for regular postage, but transit 

 and surcharges, as well as any costs for Consular invoices and 

 clearance papers are to be included in the remittance. All other 

 goods are forwarded "Not Prepaid". If mailable Plants, Roots, 

 and Bulbs are wanted by Parcel Post add 25 per cent, of order 

 to cover postage and special packing. Custom's duties cannot 

 be prepaid. 



Time of Shipment— AU Seeds, Dormant Bulbs, Roots, and 

 Rhizomes are forwarded as soon after receipt of order as possible 

 unless shipment at a later date is requested on the order sheet.

 Shrubs, Hardy Vines, etc.) wiU be shipped at proper planting 

 season unless otherwise specified on the order sheet. 



Reservation of Plants for Planting Time — Customers are 

 assured that we do our utmost where possible in making reserva- 

 tions of plants for later shipment. 



Safe Arrival of Packages— We guarantee the safe arrival of 

 all goods sent by express or mail to points within the U. S. 

 proper. If a package sent by express or mail is injured or lost 

 we will replace it as soon as informed of the fact. Goods sent 

 in any other way travel at purchaser's risk. Claims for damages 

 or errors must be made on receipt of goods. We do not hold 

 ourselves responsible for failure after delivery of the goods in 

 good condition. 



Non- Warranty — Because most failures with Seeds, Bulbs, and 

 Plants, are due to causes entirely beyond our control, we 

 cannot guarantee success, and we give no warranty as to 

 description, quality, or productiveness of any of the seeds, 

 bulbs, or plants we send out and will not in any way be responsi- 

 ble for the crop, and every order for articles purchased from 

 this catalog will be accepted on these conditions only.
