DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. l-> 



The next bes: thing is a draft on New York or Chicago, and where neither of the above is conve»ier,t, the money 

 should be sent by registered letter, costing ten cents. Money can also be sent safeiy by express, but the charger. 

 must te prepaid by ihe sender. Do not send private checks on local banks, as it costs us too much to collect. 



Orders must amount to One Dollar.— We cannot afford to give our attention to orders of less amount than 

 one dollar, unless in addition to the amou.it wanted, ten cents is >eiit. 1 he office work on a small order is the sam -. 

 as on a larger one, and it also requires neaily as much material and time to pack it, and takes almost as much po.-t- 

 age as an oider of double or triple the --i.;e. 



Packing and Packages Free. — At prices in this list, we make no charge for packing, or for material used in 

 packi;ig. such as baskets, boxes, &c. 



Safe Arrival Guaranteed. — We prepay postage, and guarantee their safe arrival in good condition at any 

 post office in the United State. If not received in g.-cd ct-ndiiion, notice should be immediately returned to us, 

 naming the number and kinds dead, so that there may be no delay in our replacing them. 



In Ccrrespcnding, always sign your name alike each time. Ladies f;equently write in their husband's name, 

 sending an order, and then again id their own name, perhaps making inquiry about it. This gives us a great deal 

 of trouble in looking through our long hies. 



Lost Orders. It is very important in writing us relating to lost orders, that you state the time the order was 



sent the amount of the order, how the remittance was made, whether by post office order, draft on New York or 

 ret^istered letter, duplicating your order in full, so that it may be filled immediately, and not be delayed until we 

 correspond back and forth for the duplicate order. 



Rare Evergreens, Grape Vines. &c. — Persons desiring to stock up in grape vines, small fruits, evergreens, 

 seedlings. &c., will find it far the cheapest to order direct of us ; by so doing they can secure a supply at half the 

 cost that traveling dealers can afford to supply at. 



The Best Time for Forwarding Plants is from the first of October to th*; fir.'^t of June. They are less lia- 

 ble to suffer from frost than extreme heat. We have extensive cellars in which we stcre a full assortment for win- 

 ter shipment 



Should our stock of any variety become exhausted before the close of the season we shall substitute others 

 equally as good

 please let me know what sorts you send and in your set of 75 strawberries for $1.00, what sorts do you send ; also, 

 in your set of 25 raspberry plants for $1 00 what varieties do you send? " In reply to all such inquiries permit us 

 to say. that we are only enabled to offer so large a number for a dollar by retaining the privilege 0/ selecting the 

 varieties ivhen nve fill the order, and this excludes the possibility of naming in advance of filling the orders, what 

 varieties will be used. But all sets will be filled with good sorts, such as are described in our catalogue. In sets 

 where the varieties are named, those of course will always be sent.
