DIMTMS TO CORRESPOMm 



Much trouble, delay and disappointment may be avoided by observ- 

 ing the following directions : 



1st. Be particular to write your name distmcth/, with Post Office, 

 County and State: orders are frequently received Avithout even a 

 signature. We have quite a number of such orders now on hand, 

 that contained small amounts of money, which we are unable to fill 

 for want of an address, and no doubt the parties who sent them con- 

 sider themselves badly swindled. "We would therefore request all 

 who remit, and do not receive the articles ordered within a reasonable 

 time, to notify us of the fact. 



2d. Write out your orders legibly, in a list apart from the body of 

 the letter, and in case of plants, specify if any varieties may be sub- 

 stituted when not on hand. Amateurs not conversant with the varie- 

 ties will not suffer by leaving the selection to us, as we will, in sucb 

 cases, make the best possible selection. 



3d. It is requested that explicit directions be given for marking and 

 shipping packages. Where no specific directions are given, we shall 

 use our best judgment as to the route and mode of conveyance; it 

 should, howevor, be expressly understood, that all packages are at the 

 risk of the purchasers after their delivery to the forwarder A, 



4th. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied 

 by cash, a draft, or P. 0. order, or instructions to Collect on Delivery 

 by Express. In making a remittance, the purchaser will please be par- 

 ticular and send a sufficient amount to cover the order. When only 

 i\ part of the amount is remitted, goods will be sent by Mail only to 

 the amount of the remittance. When sent by Express, we will collect 

 the balance on delivery of the goods. We have been compelled to 

 adopt this rule, (except to old and well-known correspondents,) on 

 account of the inconvenience of collecting small balances at the close 

 of the season, and the difficulty of keeping such accounts. 



5th. Purchasers are requested to notify us promptly of any errors 

 ■which may have occurred in filling their orders, as it is our desire to 

 give entire satisfaction. 



6th. For information as to mailing of Seeds, see next page. 



In conclusion, we would state that the usual care will be observed 

 in putting up all orders, large or small, to give full satisfaction to 

 the purchaser, in the quality of the article, as well as in the man- 

 ner of packing and forwarding. 



1^=" CAUTION. — I)o not buy of travelling agents, or peddlers. 

 Some of these impostoi-s have represented themselves as our agents 

 — beware of them. VVe employ no travelling agents. Send direct to 

 lieadquarters, and then you are sure of obtaining a genuine article 

 at a moderate price.
