Unless otherwise ordered we send all plants by express (buyer to pay 

 charges). Hardy shrubs, vines and hardy roses maybe sent safely by freight, 

 but unless the shipment is a large one express is cheaper, quicker and safer. 

 Small lots of Geraniums, Fuchsias, Young Palms, Begonias, Ferns, Violets, 

 Heliotropes and Primulas may be sent free by mail, if desired. We Guarantee 

 the safe arrival of all plants sent by express. If in good condition, when 

 received, our responsibility ceases, and if from inattention or other causes 

 they fail, and complaint is then made, we cannot replace them. Plants sent 

 other than by express are entirely at the risk of the purchaser. Under the 

 new ruling of the leading express companies, advocated and secured by us, plants 

 packed in closed boxes will now be carried at a reduction of 20 per cent, from 

 the regular merchandise rates. 



Special Notice. — The offer of free delivery made on Seeds and Bulbs does 

 not apply to plants except when sent by mail as noted above.
