DIRECTIONS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



Much trouble, delay, and disappointment, may be avoided by 

 observing the following directions : 



1st. Be particular to write your name distinctly, with Post office, 

 County, and State : orders are frequently received without even a 

 signature. 



2nd. Write out your orders legibly, in a list apart from the body of 

 the letter, and in case of plants, specify if any varieties may be substi- 

 tuted when not on hand. Amateurs not conversant with the varieties 

 will not suffer by leaving the selection to me, as I will in such cases, 

 make the best possible selection. 



3d. It is requested that explicit directions be given for marking, 

 and shipping packages, Where no such specific directions are given, 

 I shall use my best judgment as to the route and mode of conveyance ; 

 it should however be expressly understood that all packages are at the 

 risk of the purchasers after their delivery to the forwarders. 



4th. All orders from unknown correspondents, must be accompa- 

 nied by cash, a satisfactory reference, or instructions to Collect on De- 

 livery by Express. 



5th. Purchasers are requested to notify me promptly of any errors 

 which may have occured in filling their orders, as my desire is to give 

 entire satisfaction. 



6th. For information as to the mailing of Seeds see page 7. 



In conclusion, I would state that the usual care will be observed in 

 putting up all orders, large or small, to give full satisfaction to the 

 purchaser, in the quality of the article, as well as in the manner of 

 packing and forwarding. See letters of commendation on third page 

 of cover.
