Simple Rules for Ordering— Be Sure to Read This Page 



Next in importance to supplying the best seeds is the prompt and accurate filling of orders. To that end we ask the co-operation of our 

 atrons. It will hasten forwarding materially, if they will kindly make up orders alphabetically, as the goods are offered in the catalogue, 

 his method is easier and is a safeguard against neglecting to order some item of importance. Seeds are put in compartments in our stores 

 ■ phabetically, hence an order can be filled more quickly if it is made out in that manner. 



We also request that the plant order blank be used in ordering plants, bulbs and roots offered in the Plant Department, these being filled at 

 ur Jersey City greenhouses. When requested, or it is advisable, we can combine these with seeds, etc., and ship all together. 



Parcel Post and Express 



On shipments weighing 20 pounds or more it is cheaper to 

 'hip by express. As the express companies give a receipt for 

 :ach package, and are responsible, it amounts practically to 

 nsurance without cost, whereas it costs extra, according to 

 •alue, to insure a parcel post package. We guarantee the 

 >afe arrival in the U. S. of all goods shipped by express.

 out remittance — must furnish satisfactory reference. New York City refer- 

 ence preferred on account of the shorter delay pending investigation.

 the names of practical gardeners and farm managers in want of situations on 

 our books. If parties desiring such will write us, we shall be glad to put 

 them in communication with men that we deem suitable. To aid us in mak- 

 ing a selection we ask full particulars. We make no charge for this service. 



TESTIMONIALS FROM CUSTOMERS— Wo are always pleased to hear 

 from our customers regarding the results of their gardens. We appreciate 

 the thousands of unsolicited testimonials we receive annually and are glad to 

 publish as many as space will permit. Photographs of gardens and par- 

 ticularly of individual, vegetables, flowers or fruits are always very gladly 

 received by us. 



QUESTIONS AND CORRESPONDENCE— We endeavor to answer 

 promptly all letters of inquiry — which should be on separate paper from orders 

 — but we cannot undertake the planning of entire gardens and grounds.
