TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



Be Sure to Write your Address plain and distinct. GIYE YOUR FULL XAME, 

 POST-OFFICE, COUNTY AND STATE. If you have occasion to write us more than once^ 

 always SIGN THE SAME NAME, and give YOUR ADDRESS in full. 



No Order for Plants Filled for Less than One Dollar. — We cannot fill orders for less 

 than One Dollar ; it does not pay to do so. 



Postage Stamps.— Please don't send postage stamps IN PLACE OF MONEY, unless 

 you can't get anything else. If impossible to get a Post-Office Order or Bank Draft, remember 

 you can send NOTES, or GOLD or SILVER COIN by REGISTERED LETTER, AT OUR 

 RISK, FROM ANY POST-OFFICE IN THE UNITED STATES. AU Postmasters are 

 obliged to Register Letters when requested to do so. 



Why Some Letters Fail to Reach Us. — Some people are very much surprised if a letter 

 of theirs fails to reach us, but the truth is, a few letters are constantly lost and stolen from the 

 mails, and those who send money loose in ordinary letters are sure to be the victims. The remedy 

 is to make all Remittances by Post-Office Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter^ 

 and never to send money loose in ordinary letters. 



Orders Promptly Answered. — All orders received by us are filled immediately on their 

 receipt. There is no deviation from this rule, unless for a short time in the height of the season, 

 when it may be imj^ossible to fill the orders as fast as they come to band. In this case every 

 order is acknowledged by mail as soon as received, and filled promptly in rotation as quickly as 

 possible . 



Lost or Delayed Orders. — If you do not hear from us in a reasonable time after sending 

 your order, it is evidence that the order has not been received by us, or that our reply has miscar- 

 ried, and you should send a letter of inquiry at once. 



If you sent a Post-Office Order, give the Number, Date and Amount, Office op 

 Issue and Where Payable, and a list of what you want, and we will fill and forward at once, 

 if not already done. 



If yon sent a Bank Draft, give Bank of issue, Number, Date and Amount, and a list of 

 what 5^ou want, and if not already done, we will fill and forward at once. 



If you sent Money hy Registered Letter, tell us the amount, and enclose Postmaster's 

 Receipt showing the date and number, also list of what you want ; and, if not already done, we 

 will fill and forward at once. 



If you sent Money Loose in Ordinary Letter, \rithout Registering, contrary to our 

 advice and direction, it is entirely at your own risk, and if lost there is no redress, as we will not be 

 responsible for money sent in this way unless it is received. 



Ask at the Post-Office. — If plants sent by Mail are not received promptly, be sure to ask at 

 the Post-Office for them. Some Post-Offices bold such ijackages until asked for, and city carriers 

 do not always deliver them unless specially requested. 



HOW TO SEND MONEY. 



All Money sent us in either of the three ways given below, is at OUR RISK, and 

 "we will send full value for it in all cases : 



First.— POST-OFFICE ORDERS, payable to The Dingee 8c Conard Co., at West 

 Grove Post-Office, Chester County, Pa. 



Second.— BANK DRAFTS, payable to our order, on New York, Philadelphia or 

 any Principal City. 



Third— MONEY IN REGISTERED LETTERS. 



POSTAL NOTES.— The New Postal Note is not a safe remittance, because, IF LOST 

 OR STOLEN, THE SENDER HAS NO REDRESS, THE GOVERNMENT ISSUES 

 NO DUPLICATES, and we will not be responsible for their receipt. AS MONEY OR- 

 DERS CAN BE OBTAINED AT ALL POST-OFFICES WHERE POSTAL NOTES 

 ARE FOR SALE, IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO GET MONEY ORDERS, they cost a 

 trifle more, but are absolutely safe, and you run no risk of losing your money. 



Notice. — We will not be responsible for money sent loose in ordinary letters. IT IS 

 NOT SAFE. Persons who send it in this way must take the risk themselves, and if lost 

 must not expect us to make it up ; we cannot do so. 



CANADA — (See page 10.) Friends in Canada can remit by International Postal 

 Order on West Grove P. O., Chester Co., Pa. (West Grove is an International Money 

 Order Office), Bank Draft on New York, or Canadian Currency in Registered Letters. 



Note. — Post-Office Orders should always be inclosed in the letter with the List of 

 Plants wanted ; both will then be received at the same time, and there will be no cause 

 for delay in filling.
