Seeds and Bulbs Delivered by Mail or Express Free of Exi.. 



We will send by mail or express to any part of the United States, 

 the prices named in this Catalogue, Seeds and Bulbs, at the Mailing 

 Eate, Postage or Expeessage Paid to destination. The only ex- 

 ceptions to this rule are Grass and Agricultural Seeds, Peas, Beans and 

 Corn, when ordered by the peck and bushel at bushel rates, or in cases 

 specially noted ; these as well as Brackets, Eustic Work, Pots, Imple- 

 ments, Liquid Insect Destroyers, and miscellaneous articles can only be 

 sent by express or freight at the purchaser's expense. These rates give 

 our most distant customers the same advantages in obtaining good seeds 

 as those who buy over our counter or reside in the large cities. 



How TO Sexd Money. — All sums of one dollar and upwards may 

 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 Eegistered 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, Avhere 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. 



Foewaed 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 per- 

 form during the great press of business in the spring.
