The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, 
which will, if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as to ourselves: 
ORDER EARLY—It will greatly facilitate shipments if orders are sent in early; the great majority of 
the Dahlias offered in this catalogue can be supplied in strong dormant field-grown roots, which can be 
sent at any time after January Ist with perfect safety, and can be kept in the same way as you would 
potatoes until planting time. 
FILLING OF ORDERS—All orders, unless instructed to the contrary, are executed and forwarded 
upon receipt. Customers placing orders for stock to be reserved and sent later will please specify this 
at time of ordering. 
FORWARDING— Dahlia plants and roots can be sent by mail if so desired, but we strongly advise our 
customers to have them sent by express, as larger and finer plants and roots can be sent in this way, 
and ‘extras’? are added to help defray charges, and we always ship in this way unless instructed to 
the contrary. 
LOCAL DELIVERY—We deliver goods free in Philadelphia, Germantown and Chestnut Hill. We 
also deliver free of charge by Package System (Baggage Master) to all points where this system is in 
operation. 
PACKING—No charge is made for boxes or packing, nor for delivery to Freight Depots or Express 
Offices in Philadelphia. 
REMITTANCES should be made by Post Office Money Order, Drafts on Philadelphia or New York 
Banks or Express Money Orders. We disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not made as 
above directed. Where it is not possible to obtain these, the letter should be registered. Postage 
stamps will be found a convenient method of remitting for small amounts, and can be used by us to 
advantage. Coin should not be sent by mail. 
CASH WITH ORDER—FPlease send money with the order sufficient to cover the whole bill. We

decline sending goods “© Collect on Delivery,’’ unless remittances be made on account to guarantee 
acceptance. 
SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES—We endeavor to secure the safe arrival of packages in good 
condition in every case. Ifa package is injured or lost, by Mail or Express, we will replace it as soon 
as informed of the fact. Frequently it happens that orders never reach us, or are without signature. 
When customers fail to receive their packages in a reasonable time they should inform us, and at the 
same time send a copy of their order and any other information necessary to trace the goods. Com- 
plaints must be made on receipt of goods. 
NAME AND ADDRESS—Please remember to write your Name, Post Office, County and State; 
also give number of street or P. O. Box as distinctly as possible; also the nearest Express Office.
