ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



CoRKESroNDKNTs will greatly oblige, by observing, as far as possible, the following 

 regulations : 



1st. All orders should be legibly written out in a list, and not mixed Dp in the body 

 of the letter ; this will save us mtieh trouble, and at the same time prevent mistakes. 

 2d. The names of everything ordered should be plainly written out. 

 3d, In orde ring Fruit Trees, it should in all eases be stated whether standard trees are 

 wanted for orchards, or dwarfs or pyramids for gardens, and on what sort of stocks each 

 kind is desired ; and where it is left for us to choose varieties, the soil and situation 

 should bo described as correctly as possible. 



•Uh. Y\ lo re particular varieties are ordered, and particular ages and sizes of trees, 

 kinds of stocks, dx\, it should be stated whether, and to what extent, other varieties, sizes, 

 ages, At., may be substituted in case the order cannot be filled to the letter, as happens 

 occasionally in all establishments. Our rule is not to substitute i n any case, without 

 being expressly requested to do so. 



5th. All trees and plants are carefully labelled and packed in the best, manner for 

 any part of the United States, Canada or Europe, for which a moderate charge is made, 

 and DO charge is made for the delivery of packages at the railroad or canal. 



6th. It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages 

 accompany each order. Where it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance, we will 

 exercise, our best judgment ; but in all cases the articles arc at the risk of the purchaser 

 after being shipped; and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarder alone, must be. held responsible. 



Tth. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft on 

 some of the principal cities for the amount, or references that will be satisfactory; and 

 no credit will be given for a less amount than twenty-five dollars. When credit, is given,
