 in every way :

 Flower Seeds, in Packets and Ounces, when ordered at Catalogue prices. "We also deliver, 

 postage paid, to any Post Office in the United States, Plants and Bulbs at Catalogue prices,

EXPRESS. — It will be very much cheaper to the purchaser if goods are ordered to be sent by Express or 

 Freight at their expense, when desired in quantities of pounds, quarts and upwards. In all cases 

 where possible we advise our customers to have their plants forwarded by Express, as larger and 

 finer plants can be sent, and "extras" are added to help defray charges.

 inform us. and at the same time send a copy of their order and any other information necessary to 

 trace the goods.
