FRUIT TREES, GRAPE VINES, SMALL FRUITS, 



Hardy Ornamental Shrubs, ClimlDing Vines, &c., 



OF SUITABLE SIZE TO BE FOItAVAIlI>EI> BY >IA.IIL,. 



We receive many letters from our customers who purchase their supply of seeds and plants from us, asking if 

 we cannot also supply them with Fruit Trees, Grape Vines, Small Fruits, &c. In order to accommodate all our 

 customers, we have completed an arrangement with one of the largest and most reliable nurseries, by which all 

 orders for this class of goods can be sent directly to us, and they will be promptly and faithfully executed with the 

 very best of stocks, and forwarded by mail, securely packed, and postage prepaid. This will be a very great con- 

 venience to those who live at considerable distances from us, and we hope to be fa%'ored with very large orders. 



Order direct from us. — By so doing, you are sure of %&X.Un% just -what you order ^ every article true to natne, 

 and you also make a great saving, as no agent or dealer can afford to spend time and money traveling through the 

 country, without adequate remuneration. 



Terms. — Our terms are strictly cash ivith the order. Do not ask us to send C. O. Z>., as the cost of collecting 

 return charges is quite an unnecessary item of expense ; and the prices being given, we can conceive of no necessity 

 to warrant goods being so sent. 



How to Send Money. — The money must always accompany the order, and we prefer a P. O. order, payable 

 to our order. These cost lo cents on orders up to S15, and 25 cents on S'5o, and can be had at almost any post office. 

 The next best thing is a draft on New York or Chicago, and where neither of the above is convenient, the money 

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

 must be prepaid by the 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 amount wanted, ten cents is sent. The office work on a small order is the same 

 as on a larger one, and it also requires nearly as much material and time to pack it, and takes almost as much post- 

 age as an order double or triple the size. 



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

 packing, 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 States. If not received in good condition, notice should be immediately returned to us, 

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



In Corresponding, always sign your name alike each time. Ladies frequently write in their husbands' name 

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

 of trouble in looking through our long files. 



Lost Orders. — It is very important in writing usrelating 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 ofBce order, draft on New York, or 

 registered letter, duplicating your order in full, sp 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 fruit trees, grape vines, small fruits, 

 evergreens, &c., wil! find it far the cheapest to order direct of us ; by doing so they can secure a full supplj- 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 the first of June. They are less lia- 

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

 ter shipment. 



g:>g" Should our stock of any variety become exhausted before the close of the season, we shall substitute 

 others equally as good.
