DIRECTIONS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



POSTAGE PAID. 



We deliver, postage paid, to any Post Office in the United States, Vegetable and Flower Seeds, in 

 Packets and Ounces, when ordered at Catalogue prices. We also deliver, postage paid, to any Post Office 

 in the United States, Plants and Bulbs, when ordered at the single or dozen price, except where noted. 



POSTAGE TO REMIT. 



As prices of seeds in one-quarter pound lots and upward are figured without delivery charges, it will be 

 necessary for customers to remit for postage when ordered to be sent by mail at the rate of sixteen cents 

 per pound, or thirty cents per quart, in addition to price. 



EXPRESS. 



It will be very much cheaper to the purchaser if goods are ordered to be sent by Express or Freight at 

 their expense, when desired in quantities of pounds, quarts, and upwards. In all cases where possible we 

 advise our customers to have their plants forwarded by Express, as larger and finer plants can be sent, and 

 " extras " are added to help defray charges. 



FREIGHT. 



Fertilizers, Brackets, Rustic Work, Pots. Implements, Insect Destroyers, and miscellaneous bulky or 

 heavy articles can be sent only by Express or Freight at the purchaser's expense, except where noted. 



PACKING. 



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



REMITTANCES 



Should be made by Post Office Money Orders or Postal Notes, Drafts on Philadelphia or New York banks, 

 or Express Money Orders. Where it is not possible to obtain these, the letters should be registered. 

 We disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not made as above directed. Postage Stamps will be 

 found a convenient method of remitting for small amounts, and can be used by us to advantage. 



FORWARD MONEY WITH THE 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, mail, charge, and in a few days receive 

 the money, make the proper credit, and send receipt, requires more work than we can readily perform 

 during the great press of business in the spring. 



C. O. D. 



We decline sending perishable goods Collect on Deliver;/ to distant points unless a remittance be made 

 on account to guarantee the acceptance. Persons often order small packages sent in this way, and tbe 

 Express charges frequently amount to more than the value of the goods. 



ORDER EARLY. 



We aim to send out our Catalogue so that customers will receive it by January 15th. It will greatly 

 facilitate shipment if orders are sent in early. We aim to send off all orders the next day after receipt, but 

 during the busy season it is impossible — hence the advisability of ordering early. 



ERRORS. 



We exercise the utmost care in filling orders, striving to do a little more than we offer, yet in the press 

 of business errors sometimes occur, in which event we wish to be promptly notified of the fact, and will make 

 such corrections as will be satisfactory. Please keep copies of all your orders for comparison. 



SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES. 



We guarantee the safe arrival of packages of Seeds, Bulbs and Plants in good condition in every case. 

 If a package is injured or lost, 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 reason- 

 able 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. 



NAME AND ADDRESS. 



Please remember to write your Name, Post Office, County and State as distinctly as possible, especially 

 the name : also the nearest Express Office, or if on a Stage route, send us special directions, giving us the 

 name of the Express Compauj- delivering goods. 



PLEASE USE THE ORDER SHEET, AND WRITE THE ORDERS LEGIBLY, 



Apart from the body of the letter, to facilitate execution and prevent errors ; orders for plants should be on 

 a separate sheet ; the departments are separate, but shipments of seeds and plants are made in one parcel, 

 to avoid additional Express charges. Address,
