Some Information* 



ORDERS.— Please be sure and write your name and address plainly, giving 

 Postoffice, County and State— and do this every time you write. Be particular 

 to say how the goods are to be sent, whether by mail or express. If ordered 

 shipped before the middle of March most places can be reached safely by 

 freight, but don't please don't order plants to go by freight late in the season, 

 the risk is too great. Keep a correct copy of your order and check off all the 

 stock when it arrives. People often forget what they order and make unjust 

 complaint. 



CLAIMS. — If any, must be made on receipt of goods, when they will be 

 carefully and cheerfully examined, and, if just, all will be made satisfactory. 

 Anyclaim made after fifteen days from receipt of goods will not be entertained. 

 I send out only good stock, in good condition, carefully packed in all cases but 

 success or failure depends in so large a degree upon the weather and care and 

 management after having been received, that I do not, because I cannot, un- 

 dertake to guarantee stock to live 



PACKING— Is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to 

 pack lightly, thereby reducing the express to a minimum. All goods at prices 

 quoted are packed free. Everything is labeled. 



TIME OF SHipriENT— I commence to ship to my Southern customers 

 during mild weather any time after they receive this catalogue. In most sea- 

 sons I can fill a limited number of orders in January and February for the 

 South, and as late as the 1st of May for my northern customers; but for all sec- 

 tions it is advisable to order early and name date for shipment as early as you 

 can possibly use the plants. This is good advice for several reasons, as plants 

 when shipped early, if to go a long distance, are less liable to damage in the 

 package; they have less foliage and can be packed lighter, thereby lessening ex- 

 press charges; and another gr od reason is that plants set early almost invariably 

 do well if cared for by an intelligent person, while those set late in the season 

 often do well but frequently fail entirely. 



^ALWAYS use the order sheet in catalogue in making out your order, 

 and do not mix jour order and letter together on same sheet. 



PAYMENT— Invariably in Advance— Goods sent C. O. D. only when one- 

 fourth the amount is sent with the order, when charges for returning money 

 will be added to the bill.
