Import orders for Azaleas for early Fall delivery. 



(NO TE. We have no Azaleas for present delivery.) 

 Four reasons why you should place your import order for Azaleas with us : 

 First. We have made a specialty of importing Azaleas for many years, and our continu- 

 ously increasing trade in this line is positive proof that we are satisfying our customers. 



Second. Our imports are all made in bulk ; all stock is unpacked at our Nursery and 

 orders filled here; badly budded plants as well as such that have suffered in transit are dis- 

 carded and you receive nothing but perfect stock. This, many times over, makes up for the 

 slight difference between our price and that at which plants of similar size are offered to you 

 by the foreign agents or by such American houses who have their orders made up in Belgium, 

 and who simply distribute the imported cases as received. 



Third. We number among our customers many who formerly made their own importa- 

 tions, and who. after comparative trials, now place their full orders with us. If you have 

 been in the habit of buying direct, let us have part of your order this season. We are con- 

 vinced that after a trial you will in future also place your full order with us. 



Fourth. We handle only varieties which are popular in the American market — we have 

 no undesirable sorts to work off. You can, if you so wish, specify the exact varieties and 

 quantities of each that you desire. 



Remember, the prices are f. o. b., any Express, Freight or Steamship Line in Philadelphia. 

 You have no Duty, Packing, Ocean Freight or brokers' expenses.
