1 WJi IJN V 1 1 Jlli YvJU to pay a visit to our extensive plant establishment at Riverton, N. J., during the summer. ' 



I Many additional improvements have been made in the past year. The new ponds of Water Lilies will be an attraction to 



1 lovers of this beautiful class of plants, and the great display of summer-blooming plants, such as Cannas, Dahlias, our world- 



1 famous strain of Petunias, Perennials in great variety, including many novelties, as well as the houses of Palms, Ferns and 



! Decorative Plants, always present something of interest. Time tables on application. 



The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, which will, if followed, 



be an aid to purchasers as well as to ourselves : 



FORWARDING. — We deliver, postage paid, to any post office in the United States, Vegetable and Flower Seeds in packets, 

 ounces and pounds, except where otherwise noted ; but it will be much cheaper to the purchaser if goods are ordered to be 

 sent by Express or Freight at their expense, when desired in any quantity. Agricultural Seeds, Implements and other bulky 

 and heavy goods can only be sent by freight or express at purchasers' expense. 



PLANTS. — Small plants can be sent by mail if so desired, but we strongly advise our customers to have their plants sent by 

 express, as larger and finer plants can be sent in this way, and " extras " are added to help defray charges, and we always 

 ship in this way unless instructed to the contrary. Heavy plants, such as the large Palms and similar stock, can not be sent 

 by mail. Seeds, Plants and Bulbs are now taken by the Express Companies at a reduction of twenty per cent, from the 

 regular rates for mei-chaftdise. 



LOCAL DELIVERY. — We deliver goods free in Philadelphia, Germantown and Chestnut Hill. We also deliver free of charge 

 by Package System (Baggage Master) to all points where this system is in operation, such goods as will be received by them. 



PACKING. — No charge is made for boxes or packing, nor for delivery to Freight Depots or Express Offices in Philadelphia. 



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, to facilitate the execution of your 

 orders. During the busy season, to make out bills for customers, charge, and in a few days receive the money, make the 

 proper credit and send receipt, requires more work than we can readily perform. We decline sending goods " Collect on 

 delivery," unless remittances be made on account to guarantee acceptance. 



SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES. — We endeavor to secure the safe arrival of packages of Seeds, Bulbs and Plants in good 

 condition in every case. If a package is injured or lost, by Mail or Express, we will replace it as soon as informed of the 

 fact. Frequently it happens that orders never reach us, or are without signature. When customers fail to receive their 

 packages in a reasonable time they should inform us, and, at the same time, send a copy of their order and any other informa- 

 tion necessary to trace the goods. Complaints must be made on receipt of goods. 



NAME AND ADDRESS.— Please remember to write your NAflE, 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 

 unfavorable weather and soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., etc., which render it impossible for us to 

 guarantee success, and although we take all possible care to supply only such stock 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 everyone 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.
