The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, 

 I which will, if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as ourselves 



FORWARDING. — We deliver, postpaid to any Post Office in the United States, Vegetable and Flower 

 Seeds in packets, ounces, and pounds, except where otherwise noted in the Catalogue. Agricultural 

 Seeds, Implements, and other heavy and bulky goods are sent by Express or freight at purchaser's 

 expense. 



All Plants, Roots and Bulbs are forwarded bj' Express, purchaser paying charges. 



For those of our customers who live at a distance from an Express Oi^ce, making it more conven- 

 ient for them to receive their goods by Parcel Post, we will be pleased to forward in this manner such 

 goods as can be sent in this way at the following additional cost, which must be added to the value of 

 each order for Plants, Roots or Bulbs: 



To all points east of the Mississippi River, 10 per cent extra. 



To all points west of the Mississippi River, 20 per cent extra. 



LOCAL DELIVERY. — We deliver goods free in Philadelphia. We also deliver free of charge by Package 

 System (Baggage Master) to all points where this system is in operation such goods as will be received 

 by them, and weighing not in excess of 50 pounds when packed. 



PACKING. — No charge is made for boxes or packing on Express or Freight shipments, nor for delivery to 

 Freight Depots or Express Offices in Philadelphia; the extra cost of packing Parcel Post shipments is 

 included in the 10 and 20 per cent charge noted above. 



SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES.— We guarantee the safe arrival of all goods sent by Express or Mail to 

 points within the United States. If a package sent by Express or Mail is injured or lost we will replace 

 it as soon as informed of the fact. Goods sent in any other way are solely at purchaser's risk. Fre- 

 quently it happens that orders never reach us or are without signature. When customers fail to receive 

 their packages in a reasonable time they should inform us and at the same time send a copy of their or- 

 der and any other information necessary to trace the goods. Claims for damage must be made on receipt 

 of goods. We do not hold ourselves responsible for failures after delivery of the goods in good condition. 



REMITTANCES should be made by Post Office Money Order, Drafts on Philadelphia or New York Banks 

 or Express Aloney Orders. We disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not made as above di- 

 rected. Where it is not possible to obtain these, the letter should be registered. Postage stamps will be 

 found a convenient method of remitting for small amounts and can be used by us to advantage. Coin 

 should not be sent by mail. 



CASH WITH ORDER. — Please send money with the order sufficient to cover the whole bill. We decline 

 sending goods "Collect on Delivery," unless remittance be made on account to guarantee acceptance. 



NAME AND ADDRESS. — Please remember to write on each order your Name, Post Office, County and 

 State; also give number of Street or P. O. Box as distinctly as possible; also the nearest Express Office; 

 or, if on a Stage Route, send us special directions, giving us the name of the Express Company deliver- 

 ing goods. 



NON-WARRANTY. — Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our 

 control, such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which 

 renders it impossible for us to guarantee success, and although we take all possible care to supply only 

 such goods as will, under proper conditions, produce satisfactory results, we still give no warranty as to 

 description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, and will not be in 

 any way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in this catalogue will be executed 

 on these conditions only. It must, however, be plain to everyone who gives the matter the slightest 

 thought, that it is to our best interests to send out only such stock as will not only grow but prove true 

 to name and description. 



CORRESPONDENCE. — We try to give prompt attention to all proper letters of inquiry, etc. We ask, as a 

 favor, that all questions be stated clearly and briefly, and not on order sheets.
