IHPORTANT NOTICE. 



The prices herein quoted on vegetable seeds are based 

 on customers paving delivery charges when sent either

 with you whether we pay the f. eight or you. — On purchases of 

 vegetable seeds from this List to the value of $io.OO and up- 

 wards, "WE WILL DELIVER FREE to any rail- 

 road station in the United States, PROVIDED that at 

 least half of the order is composed ol small seeds, that 

 is any vegetable seeds in the List other than Peas, Beans, Corn and Potatoes. 

 If your own order does not amount to $10.00, you can avail yourself of this 

 offer by combining your order with one or more of your neighbors.

Offers in more condensed form and at much lower price9 the 

 varieties of vegetable Seeds, etc., both new and old which are to 

 be found described in our retail catalogue of "Everything for 

 ihe Garden and those desiring fuller descriptions of the various sorts are referred to that catalogue. We were, we think, the first seed house to 

 recognize the justice of giving Market Gardeners lower prices than those who simply grew for their own use or for amusement, and as the tendency 

 the last few years has been for lower prices on nearly all seeds the prices given this season, will be found satisfactory. 



When we Execute Orders. 



Every order is filled immediately on arrival, or is acknowl- 

 edged if, under rare circumstances, its shipment is likely to be 

 delayed for a day or two. If goods, notification of shipment or 

 acknowledgment of order is not received by the customer after a 

 reasonable lapse of time, it may be assumed that the order ha? 

 miscarried, or that the name or address was omitted from the 

 order. We will, where notified of such a case, use our best efforts 

 to trace it without delay. 



We fill orders cf all values from the smallest to the largest, 

 and all receive the same careful and prompt attention. 



About 



Packing and Shipping. 



No charge made- 



We make no charge for packing, cises, baskets, packages 

 or barrels, and pack as lightly as possible, consistent with safety, 

 so as to reduce the cost of carriage. In fact, we assume extra ex- 

 pense in supplying light strong cases, and, where possible, we 

 pack in baskets covered with waterproof covers, which greatly re- 

 duces weight. 



Cloth Bags only we charge for, and these at cost, viz. : 1 peck, 

 toe.; •& busk., 12c.; 1 bush., 15c; 2 busk., 20c. All grass seed 

 bags, excepting bags for Timothy and Clover, are furnished free. 



We make no charge for cartage or delivery of goods to any 

 railroad station, steamship line or express office in New York City. 



The safe arrival is guaranteed of all goods sent by express to 

 any part of the United States or Canada. We ship plants at all 

 seasons of the year, even in the coldest weather. 



The advamtage that we possess in shipping from New York 

 is pronounced on account of the many different routes by which 

 we can ship, and the consequent competition in speed and trans- 



— .% ; - ■ < * 



portation rates, thereby securing for our customers quick delivery 

 at the lowest cost. In most instances customers can get their 

 goods more quickly and cheaply from us than whem ordered 

 nearer home. 



How best to order. 



By writing out your order on the order sheet which accompanies 

 this catalogue you will greatly facilitate our work, When'goods 

 are ordered from both seed and greenhouse establishments, we 

 always combine the orders where practicable. 3Qr\ make one 

 sain'-nsnt. 



Be sure to sign your name and give your address- Many 

 orders reach us lacking either or both ; customers when writing 

 about unsigned orders will aid us in identification by mentioning 

 some of the articles ordered. 



Give full shipping instructions on each and every order you 

 send. To avoid chance of error, never write letters on the same 

 sheet as your order. 



How best to Remit. 



Remittances should be made either in the form of an Express 

 Money Order, P. 0- Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered 

 Letter. 



Customers can also shop by express, as all express companies 

 have purchasing departments in all their offices. If you wish to 

 order goods from us to be sent by express, ask for a Purchasing 

 Order Blank at any express office, and it will be supplied and for- 

 warded without charge, other than usual rates for returning goods. 



If goods are wanted C 0. D., 25 per cent, of the amount must 

 accompany the order. Compliance with this will avoid delay in 

 filling order. 



Orders from unknown correspondents, not accompanied by a 

 remittance, should send New York City reference, to save delay.
