Forwarding 



Plants. 



Unless otherwise ordered we send all plants by express ( buyer to pay charges). 

 Hardy shrubs, vines and hardy roses may be sent safely by freight but un- 

 less the shipment is a large one express is cheaper, quicker and safir. Small 

 lots of Geraniums. Fuchsias. Small Palms. Begonias. Ferns. Violets, Perernials 

 Heliotropes and Primulas may be sent free by mail, if desired. We guaran- 

 tee the safe arrival of all plants sent by express. If in good condition when 

 received, our responsibility ceases, and if from inattention or other causes 

 they fail, and complaint is tnen made, we cannot replace them. Plants sent 

 other than by express are entirely at the risk of the purchaser. Under the 

 new ruling of the leading express companies, advocated and secured by us, 

 plants packed in closed boxes will now be carried at a reduction of about 20 

 per cent, from the regular merchandise rates.
