DREER'S GARDEN ROSES 



The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, 

 which will, if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as o urselves. 



TIME OF SHIPMENT. -All plants, whether the stock is 

 seasonable or not, are forwarded as soon after receipt of the order 

 as possible. Many of our customers who have facilities for their 

 care, purposely order plants out of season so as to have them on 

 hand when planting conditions are favorable. As we do not know 

 whether you have such facilities, you should specify on the order 

 when you want shipment made, if you do not wish them at once. 



RESERVATION OF PLANTS FOR PLANTING 

 TIME. — While we try as far as possible to reserve plants on orders 

 placed in advance, to be sent at planting time, it must be borne in 

 mind that plants are highly perishable, and cannot be packed and 

 stored for future shipment like most other kinds of merchandise. 

 Weather conditions frequently interfere with making such reserva- 

 tions at the time the order is received, and when Spring opens 

 there is usually such a congestion of orders for immediate shipment 

 that it is impossible to make reservations. Customers may rely 

 on us doing our utmost in making reservations, but if we fail we 

 assume no responsibility, and all advance orders are accepted on 

 these conditions only. 



PACKING.— We make no charge for boxes or packing on 



Express, Freight or steamboat shipments. The extra labor of 



packing Parcel Post shipments is included in the additional cost 

 noted below. 



HOW WE SHIP. -All Plants, Roots and Bulbs are forwarded 

 by Express, purchaser paying charges. For those of our customers 

 who prefer to receive their goods by Parcel Post, we will be pleased 

 to forward in this manner such Plants, Roots and Bulbs as can be 

 sent in this way at the following additional cost, to cover postage 

 and special packing, which must be added to the value of each 

 order for Plants, Roots or Bulbs: 



5 per cent, additional to the following States: Conn., 

 Del., D. C, Md., Mass., N. H., N. J., N. Y., Pa., R. I., 

 Vt., Va., W. Va. 



10 per cent, additional to the following States: Ala., 

 Ark., Fla., Ga., 111., Ind., la., Kan., Ky., La., Me., 

 Mich., Minn., Miss., Mo., Neb., N. C, N. D., Ohio, 

 Okla., S. C, S. D., Tenn., Tex., Wis. 



15 per cent, additional to the following States: Ariz., 

 Cal., Colo., Idaho, Mont., Nev., N. M., Ore., Utah, 

 Wash., Wyo. 



We recommend our customers to have their orders forwarded 

 by express, as our experience shows that this method is usually 

 the most satisfactory, except on small packages. 



SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES. -We guarantee the 

 safe arrival of all goods sent by Express or Mail to points within the 

 United States. If a package sent by Express or Mail is injured or 

 lost we will replace it as soon as informed of the fact. Goods sent 

 in any other way are solely at purchaser's risk. Frequently it 

 happens that orders never reach us or are without signature. When 

 customers fail to receive their packages in a reasonable time they 

 should inform us, and at the same time send a copy of their order 

 and any other information necessary to trace the goods. Claims 

 for damage must be made on receipt of goods. We do not hold 

 ourselves responsible for failures after delivery of the goods in 

 good condition. 



REMITTANCES should be made by Post-office Money Order, 

 Drafts on Philadelphia or New York Banks, or Express Money 

 Orders. We disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not 

 made as above directed. Where it is not possible to obtain these, 

 the letter should be registered. Postage stamps will be found a 

 convenient method of remitting for small amounts, and can be 

 used by us to advantage. Coin should not be sent by mail. 



CASH WITH ORDER. -Please send money with the order 

 sufficient to cover the whole bill. We decline sending goods 

 "ColKect on Delivery" unless remittance be made on account to 

 guarantee acceptance. 



NAME AND ADDRESS. -Please remember to write on each 

 order your Name, Post-Office, County and State, also give 

 number of street or P. O. Box as distinctly as possible, also the 

 Nearest Express Office, or, if on a stage route, send us special 

 directions. 



NON-WARRANTY. -Most of the failures with seeds, plants 

 and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as un- 

 favorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow plant- 

 ing, etc., which renders it impossible for us to guarantee success, 

 and although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as 

 will, under proper conditions, produce satisfactory results, we still 

 give no warranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any 

 of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, and will not be in any way 

 responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in this 

 Catalogue will be executed on these conditions only. It must 

 however, be plain to every one who gives the matter the slightest 

 thought that it is to our best interest to send out only such stock, 

 as will not only grow, but prove true to name and description.
