NEW GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE FOR 1904 9 



EXPRESS RATES FROM WEST GROVE, PA., 

 TO VARIOUS POINTS 



< 1 *^XPRESS shipments continue to grow in favor because we are able to send larger plants, and having more space in which 

 W*j to pack, a goodly portion of soil is left on the roots, so that plants receive no set-back in transit and always arrive in 

 / *^" first-class order. All Express Companies allow us 20 per cent, discount from merchandise rates. The schedule elow 

 will enable you to form a close estimate of what the charges on your order will be. Two-year old plants from 4-inch pots, 

 when packed, will weigh as follows: 12 plants, about 15 lbs. ; 25 plants, 30 lbs. ; 50 plants, 50 ibs. ; 125 plants, 100 lbs. One-year 

 old plants from 20 to 30 lbs. per 100. 



You will notice by the schedule that the charges on 10, 15, 

 20, 30 and 100 lus. to the most distant points are very incon- 

 siderab e. For instance, 20 lbs. to Omaha, Nebraska, or St. 

 Paul, Minnesota, is only 75 cents; Austin, Texas, SI. 15; New 

 Orleans, Louisiana, 90 cents; Chicago, Illinois, 45 cents. 



All goods, unless otherwise agreed, are forwarded 

 charges collect, there being absolutely no advantage in 

 having shipments prepaid, unless the ordinary rate exceeds 

 8 cents per lb., in which ca«e a special rate of 10 cents for the 

 first pound and a half and 8 cents for each additional pound 

 is charged wnen the shipment i* prepaid in full. 



43r*Please note carefully the following in deter- 

 mining the probable express charges on your order. 

 If you have an Adams or Southern Express Offices in your 



town the charges will be practically the same as those of 

 the nearest Adams or Southern Office within 50 miles. (See 

 schedule below for the most central points. 



If not an Adams or Southern Office the charge will, of 

 coarse, be increased by the additional charge made by the con- 

 necting Company that controls your Office. We have but 

 one Company at West Grove, the " Adams," which 

 delivers shipments direct or through connecting 

 Companies to any Express Office in the United States. 



The minimum charge by the Adams, or any other 

 Companv carrying a shipment over their lines is 35 cents for 

 each Company. In the schedule below the rates given are 

 for delivery by Adams Express direct, or in connection with 

 the Companies that control the offices named.
