How to Send Money Safely 



INFORMATION FOR CUSTOMERS 



TO INSURE dispatch, the proper remittance must be enclosed with the order. Please remember that 

 admirable and safe as our mail facilities are, some vexatious losses to the senders of letters are liable 



to occur ; that careful as Uncle Sam is, some letters are lost in transit ; some mails are burnt up in 

 great railroad wrecks. Prudence dictates that remittances be made so that in case of loss duplicates can 

 be had. Therefore we say money may be sent at our risk, by P. O. Money Order, Bank Draft, Express 

 Money Order, Money (not stamps) in Registered Letter. We will be responsible for the safe carriage of 

 money sent us in any of the above ways, and if lost will give full value. 



PLEASE DO NOT SEND STAMPS FOR MONEY; they often come stuck 

 together or stuck to the letter so that they cannot be taken out except by soaking the 

 whole. Silver in small sums, if carefully wrapped, will carry just as safely, and is 

 far more acceptable, 



CANADA CUSTOMERS can remit by International Money Order on West Grove, Bank 

 Draft, or currency in Registered Letter. Canada postage stamps have no value here. 



We cannot send Dormant Roses or Shrubs to Canada owing to a law recently 

 enacted to that effect, except from March 15th to May 15th, and from October 7th to December 7th, 

 through the following customs ports, where they will be fumigated ; St. John, N. B. ; St. Johns, P. Q. ; 

 Niagara Ealls and Windsor, Ontario ; Winnipeg, Manitoba. All other goods including Roses grown under 

 glass, are admitted at any time. 



A GUARANTEE THAT MEANS SOMETHING 



WE GUARANTEE that all plants we send out shall 

 reach their destination in good growing condition; 

 if they do not, inform us by return mail and we will 

 replace at once. When we deliver them to you in 

 good order our responsibility ends. 



WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT ROSES WE 

 SEND OUT WILL NOT BE KILLED BY 

 DROUGHT, INSECTS, ACCIDENTS OR FROST 

 AFTER THEY ARE PLANTED. 



ORDERS BY MAIL ARE SENT POSTPAID to all 



post-offices in the United States or Canada, and 

 we guarantee they shall reach the purchaser in good 

 growing condition. 



WHEN SO DIRECTED WE SHIP BY EXPRESS, 



or when the order is of a size or character that it 

 cannot be safely sent by mail, the purchaser pay- 

 ing express charges. But we are on the constant 

 lookout to save purchasers all needless expense, and 

 to that end, especially on long distances where 

 goods are ordered by express we send them by mail, 

 knowing that it is to our customer's decided advan- 

 tage to do so. 



WE GUARD AGAINST ERRORS in filling orders 

 as carefully as we can, but occasionally, in spite of 

 best care, some mistakes will creep in; when they 

 do, notify us at once, and we will correct them 

 promptly. "We cordially invite customers for our 

 goods, and do not intend they shall regret coming 

 to us if we can possibly by fair dealing prevent it. 

 But do not blame us for not promptly filling your 

 order, if you have (as hundreds do every year) given 

 no name or address; if you live in a city please be 

 careful to give street and number. If your letter is 

 lost on the way and does not reach us, it will of 

 course cause delay and often vexation. 



OUR ROSES ARE ALL ON THEIR OWN ROOTS. 



— Only a few years ago a great authority on Roses 

 said that Hybrid Perpetuals and Mosses could not 

 be grown that way; he was mistaken; we grow all 

 classes of Roses on their own Roots, and such only 

 are sent out. 



OUR ROSES ARE ALL GROWN IN POTS, In 



good, fresh soil without stimulants; are strong, 

 healthy plants, kept free from blooming here by 

 cutting the buds off as they appear, and with any 

 fair treatment on your part will be sure to grow; 

 and the EverTblooming class will bud and bloom as 

 soon as they start to grow vigorously. 



Do not expect all varieties of Roses to be of the 

 same size. Some under the same conditions make 

 much larger and stronger plants than others, but 

 many of the weakest growers produce the most 

 beautiful flowers. 



PLEASE OBSERVE CAREFULLY.— In ordering 

 please use the sheet which we provide for the pur- 

 pose whenever possible. Simply fill up the blanks, 

 giving the number and name of the varieties 

 wanted, with price; we will understand. Do not 

 interline or make other notations thereon having 

 reference to the order. If you wish to communicate 

 with us at the same time use a separate sheet of 

 paper. Write neatly, giving your name and address 

 plainly. When ordering ALWAYS STATE WHEN 

 YOU WISH THE GOODS SHIPPED, ELSE THEY 

 WILL BE SENT YOU AT ONCE. Attention to 

 these details will greatly facilitate our work and 

 prevent confusion, errors and misunderstandings. 



OUR AIM IS TO DO EVEN BETTER THAN WE 

 PROMISE, so when the order will at all afford it, 

 we add to it some plant or plants gratis, that are 

 often choice new kinds; several of the Roses now 

 so eagerly sought after were first introduced to our 

 customers in this way — Presented with their order. 



FOREIGN ORDERS can be sent by mail to the 

 countries with which we have a parcel post ex- 

 change. They can also be sent by express, but the 

 party ordering must give the name and address of 

 some one in New York who will receive the goods, 

 prepay ocean charges and forward to them. 



When large lots of Roses, Shrubbery, Vines, etc., 

 are wanted for Cemetery or Hedge planting, send 

 us a list of stock wanted to price; growing it in 

 large quantities as we do, we can make for such 

 very advantageous prices.
