About Forwarding Plants. 



Unless otherwise ordered we send all 

 plants by express (buyer to pay charges). 

 Hardy shrubs, vines and hardy roses may 

 be sent safely by freight, but unless the 

 shipment is a large one express is cheaper, 

 quicker and safer. Small lots of Gera- 

 niums, Fuchsias, Small Palms, Begonias, 

 Ferns, Violets, Perennials, Heliotropes and 

 Primulas may be sent free by mail, if de- 

 sired. The new rates of the express com- 

 panies are much lower than hereto- 

 fore. When plants are sent by express 

 a receipt is obtained thus carrying in-l 

 surance. All the soil may be left on 

 the plants so we recommend shipping 

 plants by express, and we guarantee a 

 safe arrival in the U.S. If in good con- 

 dition when received our responsibility 

 ceases, and if from inattention or other 

 causes they fail, and complaint is then 

 made, we cannot replace them. Plants 

 sent other than by express are entirely at 

 the risk of the purchaser.
