2_ J^M. THORBURN & CP'S CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



Prices, as will be seen upon comparison with others are 

 as low as Highest Grade Bulbs can be sold at, and do not 

 include transportation. 



We indicate under each heading of the various Bulbs, the maiHng weight 

 when packed, so that if wanted by parcel post, our Customers can determine 

 the amount required to be added for postage according to Zone rate, as per 

 table below. 



The weights given are those taken from our 

 slock last year, and may vary in some instances; 

 should there be any difference in weight 

 when orders are filled, the postage will be ad- 

 justed, and any amounts over remitted will be 

 returned. 



On shipments of 15 lbs. and upwards it is best 

 to send by express, wherever possible, as by 

 special arrangements with the express companies, 

 bulbs travel at a reduction of 25 per cent, from 

 regular rates; it is therefore both safer, and, in 

 nearly all cases, cheaper, to send large packages 

 by express instead of by mail.
