RIVERTON, RIVERVIEW AND LOCUST FARM NURSERIES, near RIVERTON, N. J. 
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: 
ORDER EARLY—|: will greatly facilitate shipments if orders are sent in early; the great 
majority of the Dahlias offered in this catalogue can be supplied in strong dormant 
field-grown roots, which can be sent at any time after January Ist with perfect safety, 
and can be kept in the same way as you would potatoes until planting time. 
FILLING OF ORDERS—Q ll orders, unless instructed to the contrary, are executed and for- 
warded upon receipt. Customers placing orders for stock to be reserved and sent later 
will please specify this at time of ordering. 
FORWARDING—Dahlia plants and roots can be sent by mail if so desired, but we strongly 
advise our customers to have them sent by express, as larger and finer plants and roots 
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. 
LOCAL DELIVERY—\Ve 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. 
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 re- 
mittances 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 remit- 
ting 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,” unless remittances be made on account 
to guarantee acceptance. 
SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES—\Ve endeavor to secure the safe arrival of packages in good 
condition in every case. If a package is injured or lost, by Mail or Express, we will re- 
place 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 reason- 
able time they should inform us, and at the same time send a copy of their order and any 
other information necessary to trace the goods. Complaints must be made on receipt of 
exer ds. 
NAME AND ADDRESS—Please remember to write 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.
