SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES. — We guarantee the 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 solelj' at purchaser's risk. Frequently it happens that orders never reach us or are without signature. When customers 

 fail to receij-e their packages in a reasonable 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. Claims for damage must be made on receipt of goods. We do not hold ourselves responsible 

 for failures after deliver}^ of the goods in good condition. 



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

 advantage. Coin should not be sent by mail.

 Deliver}-" unless remittance be made on account to guarantee acceptance.

 give number of street or P. O. Box as distinctly as possible; also the NEAREST EXPRESS OFFICE, or, if on a stage route, send 

 us special directions, giving us the name of the Express Company delivering goods. 



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

 weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shaUow 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 satisfactor}' 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.
