Dreers Garden Calendar. 



Our government still adhering to the obnoxious postal laws governing the distribution of 

 seeds, plants, etc., through the mails, and in protection to our large home-trade, we are com- 

 pelled to revise the former rules and prices established, and request your attention to the 

 following, which we propose doing. 



1st. We will deliver POSTAGE-PAID, to any Post Office in the United States, Vegetable and 

 Flower Seeds in PACKETS AND OUNCES when ordered at catalogue rates. 



2d. In ordering Vegetable, Grass, or Agricultural Seeds by the POUND OR QUART or 

 fraction thereof, 16 cents per pound or 25 cents per quart, or at this rate for the fraction, 

 must be remitted to cover postage. 



3d. We will deliver POSTAGE-PAID to any Post Office in the United States, Plants and 

 Bulbs at the single rate. If ordered by the dozen or hundred, the SINGLE PRICE must be 

 remitted to cover postage. 



4th. Brackets, Rustic Work, Pots, Implements, Liquid Insect Destroyers, and miscellaneous 

 articles can be sent only by Express or Freight at the purchaser's expense. 



5th. It will be very much cheaper to the purchaser if goods are ordered to be sent by Express, 

 Freight or Steamer at their expense, when desired, in quantities of pounds, quarts, and upwards. 

 No charge made for boxes and packing, except bags, which are charged at the following prices, 

 for :}, i, 1 and 2 bushel bags, 10, 15, 20 and 25 cts. each. 



How to Send Money. — All sums of one dollar and u])wards may only be sent at our risk and 

 expense, if forwarded according to the following directions, viz. : 



Post Office Money Orders, to be obtained at many Post Offices, costing from 10 to 25 cents. 

 This is the best way where obtainable in your own or neighboring town. 



Drafts on Philadelphia or New York can be obtained from any bank. 



Registered Letters. — When neither a Post Office order nor draft may be obtained, money may 

 be enclosed in a Registered Letter. The cost of registering is 10 cents. 



Postage Stamps. — These we can use to great advantage, and will prove to many a convenient 

 way of remitting, where paper currency is not obtainable. 



The expense of forwarding money in either of the above ways may be deducted from the 

 amount of the order, or we will send seeds as an equivalent when so desired. We disclaim all 

 responsibility when remittances are not made as above directed. 



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 possibly perform during the great press of 

 business in the spring, 



C. 0. D. — We decline sending perishable goods Collect on Delivery to distant points, unless 

 a remittance be made on account to guarantee the acceptance. Persons often order small pack- 

 ages sent in this way, and the express charges sometimes amount to more than the goods. 



Errors. — We exercise the utmost care in the filling of orders, striving to do a little more 

 than we oifer, 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 perfectly satisfactory. 

 Please keep copies of all orders. 



The Safe Arrival of Packages Guaranteed. — 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 Avill replace it as soon as informed of the fact. 



Name and Address.— Please remember to write your Name, Post Office, Coimty and State 

 as distinctly as possible, especially the name; also the nearest Exi^ress Office, when goods are 

 ordered to be shipped in this way. 



Please Write the Orders Legibly in a list apart from the body of the letter, to facili- 

 tate execution and prevent errors ; orders for plants should be on a separate sheet; the depart- 

 ments are separate, but shipments of seeds and plants are made in one parcel, to save additional 

 express charges. Address,
