SEEDS, BULBS, PLANTS, &C, BY MAIL. 
TO ANY PART OF THE UNITED STATES WHERE THERE IS POSTAL 
COMMUNICATION. 
The new postage law authorizes the sending of Seeds, Bulbs, Boots, Cuttings, 
Plants, and Scionx, at the rate of two cents f 01 every foue ounces in weight ; the 
weight of the package not to exceed four pounds. 
Under this law any of the seeds or bulbs named in this Catalogue, will be mail- 
ed, free of postage, at the prices quoted, with the exception of Peas, Beans, and 
Corn, for which an additional remittance of fifteen cents for every quart is re- 
quired. 
Correspondents, who are unknown to us, must invariably accompany their 
orders with cash, or a satisfactory reference. Remittances can be made in cur- 
rent bank bills, Post Office money orders, or Drafts on Portland. 
Having mailed the seeds, we cannot be responsible for any loss unless on ac- 
count of our own mistakes. 
Correspondents are requested to give their names in full, distinctly written, with 
post-office address, county, and State. 
In giving orders for seeds or plants, please to state explicitly by what convej r - 
ance they are to be forwarded, and also the names of the parties to whose care 
they wish them to be consigned, at the various places of transhipment.
