NEW GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE EOR 1906 



Express Rates from West Grove, Pa., to Various Points 



EXPRESS shipments continue to grow in favor because we are able to send larger plants, and having 

 more space in which to pack, a goodly portion of soil is left on the roots, so that plants receive no 

 set-back in transit and always arrive in first-class order. All Express Companies allow us 20 per 

 cent, discount from merchandise rates. The schedule below will enable you to form a close estimate of 

 what the charges on vour order will be. Two-year-old plants from 4-inch pots, when packed, will weigh 

 as follows: Twelve plants, about 15 lbs.; 25 plants, 30 lbs.; 50 plants, 50 lbs.; 125 plants, 100 lbs. One- 

 year-old plants, from 20 to 30 lbs. per 100. 



— " .,,.,..,- , your town the charges will be practically the same 



as those of the nearest Adams or Southern Office 

 within 50 miles. (See schedule below for the most 

 central points.) 



If not an Adams or Southern Office the charge 

 will, of course, be increased by the additional 

 charge made by the connecting Company that con- 

 trols your Office. We have but one Company at 

 West Grove, the "Adams," which delivers ship- 

 ments direct or through connecting Companies to 

 any Express Office in the United States. 



The minimum charge by the Adams, or any othei 

 Company carrying a shipment over their lines is 35 

 cents for each Company. In the schedule below the 

 rates given are for delivery by Adams Expres.- 

 direct, or in connection with the Companies that 

 control the offices named. 



You will notice bv the schedule that the charges 

 on 10. 15. 20. 30 and 100 lbs. to the most distant 

 points are verv inconsiderable. For instance, 20 

 lbs. to Omaha, 'Neb., or St. Paul. Minn., is only 75 

 cents; Austin. Texas. $1.15; New Orleans. La., 90 

 cents; Chicago. 111., 45 cents. 



All goods, unless otherwise agreed, are forwarded 

 charges collect, there being absolutely no advantage 

 in having shipments prepaid, unless the ordinary 

 rate exceeds 8 cents per lb., in which case a special 

 rate of 10 cents for the first pound and a half and 8 

 cents for each additional pound is charged when the 

 shipment is prepaid in full. 



JS^ Please note carefully the following In deter- 

 mining the probable express charges on your order.
