Terms 



Our terms are cash with order, except where sat- 

 isfactory bank reference is given, when we will 

 gladly open an account. Goods will be shipped C. 

 O. D., if one-half of amount is remitted with order. 

 Money may be sent at our risk by Post Office Order, 

 Express Money Order, Bank Draft, Money (not 

 stamps) in Registered Letter. We will be respon- 

 sible for the safe carriage of money sent us by any 

 of these ways, and, if lost, we will give full value. 

 Please do not send stamps for money. They often 

 come stuck together, or stuck to the letter, so that 

 they cannot be taken out except by soaking. Can- 

 adian customers can remit by International Money 

 Order on West Grove, Bank Draft, or currency in 

 Registered Letter. Canadian postage stamps have 

 no value here. 



Our Guarantee 



We guarantee that our goods must reach their 

 destination in good condition, satisfactory to you, 

 or they will be duplicated or money refunded. You 



will not find many guarantees that cover the situ- 

 ation as briefly and as concisely as this. You run 

 absolutely no risk. 



Sixty-seven years of business integrity, during 

 which time we have served millions of Rose lovers 

 in all parts of the universe, gives our assurance of 

 efficient service considerable value. Before laying 

 this book aside, make up your order, ?end it in to us 

 as early as possible. We will reserve the goods for 

 you and ship whenever you direct, guaranteeing 

 absolute satisfaction, honorable treatment and $1.00 

 worth of goods for every dollar sent us. Our word 

 for it that you will be satisfied in every particular. 



WE GIVE, HOWEVER, NO WARRANTY, ex- 

 press or implied, as to any description, quality, pro- 

 ductiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs 

 or plants we send out, and we will not be in any way 

 responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not 

 accept the goods on these terms, they are at once 

 to be returned. 



^uite frequently a Rose, for some reason that we 

 are unable to explain, will produce a bloom some- 

 what different from description given, especially the 

 first blooms that are produced, that we cannot en- 

 tertain complaints along this line. We exercise the 

 utmost care in handling stock and filling orders and 

 rarely a mistake of this kind occurs. 



COMPLAINTS— When the goods reach you, if 

 there is any complaint it must be made within ten 

 days, otherwise we cannot entertain it. 



How We Ship 



The goods offered at postpaid prices are shipped 

 by mail postpaid. The first size or one-year plants 

 and the extra size Roses are usually sent in this 

 way, but we recommend express shipments (at your 

 expense) on account of being able to leave the soil 

 on the roots in which they have been growing, thus 

 reaching you in much better condition than if sent 

 by mail, when it is necessary to remove the soil 

 and wrap in damp moss and wax paper. 



The two- and three-year-old plants of Roses, 



Shrubs, etc, are always sent by express at your ex- 

 pense, regardless of the number ordered, unless 

 specifically requested to send by mail, and if so, add 

 5c per plant and we will ship by parcel post. 



Scientific Packing of Goods 



Probably you have never thought of that feature, 

 but after the growing of the plants there is no other 

 feature so important. We have, after sixty-seven 

 years of business experience, the right to know how 

 goods should be packed. We have served millions 

 of flower buyers in all parts of the civilized world. 

 We know what is required in sending goods to the 

 most distant points. It is needless for us to go into 

 the details here of how it is possible for us, whether 

 you live in West Grove, Pa., or whether you live 

 in Portland, Oregon, or the most distant point, tp 

 have goods reach you as fresh and green as if you 

 called here personally at our establishment and se- 

 lected the plants yourself. It is a wonderful fea- 

 ture of our business, this scientific packing. It 

 makes you, in these modern days of quick transpor- 

 tation, our next-door neighbor. 



Instructions for Ordering 



PLEASE OBSERVE CAREFULLY— When or- 

 dering, please use the order sheet provided for that 

 purpose whenever possible. Simply fill up the blanks 

 giving the number and name of the varieties wanted, 

 with size and price; we will understand. 



ORDER EARLY— Many of our customers order 

 early, and the plants are set aside; the earlier you 

 order the better. We will book for delivery when- 

 ever you direct, or at the time we consider proper to 

 plant such stock ordered. 



PARCEL POST C. O. D.— If you desire your 

 order, no matter how small, sent C. O. D. by Parcel 

 Post we can do so at an additional cost of only 10 

 cents, and the small fee for the money order, which 

 is 3 cents up to $2.50; 5 cents up to $5.00, making it 

 much cheaper than by express, as you have no ex- 

 press charges and additional charge for returning 

 money. 



CANADIAN CUSTOMERS— Canadian laws pro- 

 hibit sending dormant Roses or Shrubs into Canada 

 except from March 15 to May 15, and from October 

 7 to December 7. All other goods, including our 

 pot-grown Roses, from 3^-inch pots and smaller, 

 grown under glass, are admitted at any time. 



FOREIGN ORDERS— Twenty per cent extra 

 should be added to orders going outside of United 

 States proper to pay extra cost of packing and post- 

 age. To countries with which we have a parcel post, 

 goods can be sent by mail. They also can be sent 

 by express, but the person ordering must give the 

 name and address of some one in New York who 

 will receive the goods, prepay the ocean charges 

 and forward them. 



CLUB ORDERS— To induce our customers to 

 make up club orders among their friends, we make 

 special attractive inducements. The only require- 

 ments are that the club shall consist of five club 

 names, including the clubber, and that the order 

 shall amount to not less than $10.00 in cash. Write 

 for further terms under these conditions.
