16 THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



Postal Order, Registered Letter or Bank Draft, as directed, we present free, in addition to all other 

 premiums, an elegant Rose, for every remittance made us in either of these ways. (See below). In 

 other words, we pay you for taking care of your own money, and trust you will be induced to avoid 

 the loss so likely to occur when money is sent loose in ordinary letters. 



Why Some Letters Fail to Reach Us.— Letters fail to reach their destination from vari- 

 ous causes. A few are stolen, letters containing money are much more likely to be stolen than others, 

 because mail thieves can tell a letter containing money almost as far as they can see it, and the feel 

 and smell are unerring indications. Besides this, whole mails containing thousands of letters, are 

 sometimes burned up or destroyed by Railway and other accidents. In such cases ALL THE money 

 CONTAINED IN REGISTERED AND ORDINARY LETTERS IS A TOTAL LOSS TO THE SENDERS, BUT 



POSTAL ORDERS and BANK DRAFTS can be duplicated without any loss. 



Orders Promptly Answered.— All orders received by us are filled immediately on their re- 

 ceipt. There is no deviation from this rule unless for a short time in the height of the season, when 

 it may be impossible ^to fill the orders as fast as they come to hand. In this case eveiy order is 

 acknowleged by mail as soon as received, and filled promptly in rotation. 



Letters of Inquiry. — If you do not hear from us in a reasonable time after sending your order, 

 read carefully our directions for Delayed Orders, and send a letter of inquiry at once. No differ- 

 ence how many letters of inquiry may be necessary, keep on sending them till you get an answer. 

 Instances have occurred in which several letters have been lost in succession from the same writer. 



HOW TO SEND MONEY. 



All money sent us as directed in either of the three ways given below, is at OUR RISK, and we 

 will send full value for it in all cases. 



First.— POST OFFICE ORDERS, Payable to Us at West Grove Post Office, Chester 

 County, Pa. 



Second. — BANK DRAFTS, Payable to our Order, on New York, Philadelphia, or 

 any Principal City. 



Third.— MONEY IN REGISTERED LETTERS, 



(For information about Post Office Orders, Bank Drafts, and Registered Letters, see page 15.) 



Notice. — We will not be responsible for money sent loose in ordinary letters. If is not safe. 

 Persons who send it in this way must take the risk themselves, and if lost must not expect us to make 

 it up ; we cannot do it. 



Canada.— Friends in Canada can remit by International Postal Order, Bank Draft on 

 New York, or CANADIAN CURRENCY IN REGISTERED LETTER. When remitting by 

 International Postal ox^^x, please enclose the Stub Receipt in the Letter with the list of plants ordered. 

 W^e can then fill immediately without waiting for the Postal Order, which is usually several days behind. 



An Elegant Rose Presented. — We present free, in addition to all other Premiums, AN 

 ELEGANT ROSE — your .choice from the General Collections — 'for every remittance made us by 

 Postal Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter. W^hen the remittance amounts to ^5 or 

 more, we will present a NEW, OR DIAMOND LIST ROSE, of a variety we can spare.' Some 

 sorts are so scarce they must all be reserved for actual purchasers ; if the variety asked for is not sent, 

 it will be understood it is for this reason. The Rose presented for this purpose will be marked R. 

 on the back of the label containing the name. 



SEXD THE REMITTANCE WITH THE ORDER.— We do a stricHy Cash 

 business; tlie proper remittance must in all cases accompany the or- 

 der. The vast number of orders to be filled and forwarded by every 

 mail during the busy season^ renders it impossible to keep open ac- 

 counts. The price of each article is plainly marked^ so that every one 

 tan tell the exact cost. Please send the Remittance with the order, 

 And, besides being promptly and liberally served, you will find that 

 ive try to do a little better than we promise.
