The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, 

 which will, if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as ourselves. 



ORDER EARLY. —We aim to execute all orders as soon as received, but during the rush season, in late September and October, delays 

 are unavoidable, which, however, can be largely overcome by our patrons anticipating their wants and ordering and taking delivery 

 of their requirements early. 



TIME OF SHIPMENT. —We confidently expect to be able to ship the majority of the bulbs offered in this catalogue before the close 

 of September; a few sorts do not mature until October or later. Unless otherwise instructed, we will send the early bulbs 

 as soon as ready, and the late-maturing sorts when in good condition to ship. 



FORWARDING. - 



Bulbs, Flower Seeds, Vegetable Seeds and Dormant Roses are delivered to any point within the United States prepaid 

 by Parcel Post or Express, at our option, except where otherwise noted in the catalogue. 



Agricultural Seeds, Implements, Fertilizers, and other heavy and bulky goods, are sent by Express or Freight at pur- 

 chaser's expense. 



Plants are forwarded by Express, purchaser paying charges. For those of our customers who prefer to receive their plants by 

 Parcel Post, we will be pleased to forward in this manner such plants as can be sent in this way, at the following additional cost to 

 cover postage and special packing, which must be added to the value of each order for plants: 



5 per cent, additional to the following States : Conn., Del., D. C, Md., Mass., N. H., N. J., N. Y., Pa., R. I., 



Vt., Va., W. Va. 

 10 per cent, additional to the following States : Ala., Ark., Fla., Ga., 111., Ind, la., Kan., Ky., La., Me., Mich., 



Min., Miss., Mo., Neb., N. C, N. D., Ohio, Okla., S. C, S. D., Tenn., Tex., Wis. 

 15 per cent, additional to the following States: Ariz., Cal., Colo., Idaho, Mont., Nev., N. M., Ore., Utah, 

 Wash., Wyo. 



LOCAL DELIVERY.— We deliver goods free in Philadelphia. We can also forward by Package System (Baggage Master) to point-: 

 where this system is in operation, such goods as will be received by them at the following charges: Packages weighing when packed 

 for shipment not over 10 pounds, 12 cts.; not over 25 pounds, 18 cts.; not over 40 pounds, 24 cts.; not over 55 pounds, 30 cts. 



PACKING.— No charge is made for boxes or packing on Express or Freight shipments nor for Delivery to Freight Depots or Express 

 Offices in Philadelphia; the extra cost of packing Parcel Post shipments of plants is included in the charge noted above. 



SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES. — We guarantee safe arrival of all goods sent by Express or Mail to points within the United 

 States. 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 are solely at purchaser's risk. Frequently it happens that orders never reach us or are without signature. When cus- 

 tomers fail to receive their packages in a reasonable time they should inform us, and at the same time send a copy of order and any 

 other information necessary to trace the goods. Claims for damage must be made on receipt of goods. We do not hold ourselves 

 responsible for failures after delivery of the goods in good condition. PLEASE KEEP A COPY OF YOUR ORDER FOR 

 CHECKING DELIVERY. 



REMITTANCES should be made by Post-office Money Order, Drafts on Philadelphia or New York Banks, or Express Money Orders. 

 We disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not made as above directed. Where it is not possible to obtain these, the letter 

 should be registered. Postage stamps will be found a convenient method of remitting for small amounts, and can be used by us to 

 advantage. Coin should not be sent by mail. 



CASH WITH ORDER. —Please send money with the order sufficient to cover the whole bill. We decline sending goods "Collect 

 on Delivery." 



NAME AND ADDRESS. -Please remember to write on each order your NAME, POST-OFFICE, COUNTY and STATE; 

 also give number of street or P. O. Box as distinctly as possible; also the NEAREST EXPRESS OFFICE. 



NON- WARRANTY.— Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as un- 

 favorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which renders it impossible for us to guarantee success 

 and although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as will, under proper conditions, produce satisfactory results, we 

 still give no warranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, and will not be 

 in any way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in this Catalogue will be executed on these conditions only. 

 It must, however, be plain to every one who gives the matter the slightest thought that it is to our best interests to send out only 

 such stock as will not only grow, but prove true to name and description. 



CORRESPONDENCE. —We try to give prompt attention to all proper letters of inquiry, etc. We ask, as a favor, that all questions 

 be stated clearly and briefly, and not on order sheets.
