 three of a kind at dozen rates, twenty-five at one hundred rates, and two hundred and fifty at thousand rates. 

 Samples of any stock listed will be sent at the dozen rate. Special pains are taken to pack lightly, thereby 

 reducing the expense of transportation to a minimum. Everything is labeled. 



Articles offered in our retail catalogue, "Floral Gems," and not offered in this list, will be supplied at 

 retail prices, less the following discounts: Vegetable and flower seeds in packets, bulbs and plants, 33% 

 per cent. ; fruits, 10 per cent. No discount on special offers or collections. 



TERMS — Three per cent, discount for cash with order. Two per cent, discount on all bills paid within 

 ten days. *" 



REMITTANCES— Should be made by Draft, Postoffice Money Order or Registered Letter. Remittances 

 in any other way are entirely at the sender's risk. 



^Unknown correspondents desiring to open account will please furnish reference (preferably bank refer- 

 ence), or parties in the trade with whom they have had credit relations, otherwise cash must accompany order. 



Goods packed free of charge and in light corrugated paper boxes when weight of shipment will allow it. 



Remember, it will not cost you any more to have your order sent in several shipments, provided each 

 box weighs more than twenty pounds. 



C. O. D. — Plants to be sent C. O. D. must have one-fourth of the amount with order. 



NEW LOW EXPRESS RATE— We call your attention to the new low express rate, which is a reduction 

 of 20 per cent, (and on account of a graduated scale of rates, in some instances running to 25 and 30 per 

 cent.) from the regular merchandise rate at which plants have been expressed heretofore, and also that 

 packages of less than 100 pounds are billed at 100-pound rates. 



PLANTS BY MAIL — In a great many instances, orders which are to travel a long distance can be 

 packed lightly and sent by mail with a saving to the customer. If preferred in this way, add one-fifth addi- 

 tional to cover postage and balance will be refunded. We would recommend when possible to have plants 

 sent by express. 



SHIPMENTS TO FAR POINTS — Shipments of Roses and some other plants to far points can be sent 

 just as well with all soil removed and roots puddled, and at a great saving in expressage to customer. We 

 will not remove all soil in any instances, however, unless requested. 



All shipments being billed from here assure customers of the 20 per cent, reduction. However, if you have 

 any fear of it not being allowed, we will prepay sh oments in such instances and add charges to invoice. 



PLANTS SENT BY FREIGHT are entirely at purchaser's risk. We will not be responsible for any loss 

 or damage. 



Guarantee 



We guarantee all Plants, Bulbs and 

 Seeds that we send out to be true 

 to name, and to reach purchaser 

 in good condition when forwarded by express (freight 

 shipments at purchaser's risk), and hold ourselves 

 in readiness to replace all stock that may accidentally 

 prove untrue to label, free of charge, or refund the 

 amount paid therefor; but it is mutually understood 

 and agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that 

 our guarantee of genuineness shall not in any case 

 make us liable for a greater sum than that originally 

 received for such stock that may prove untrue. Most 

 failures with Plants, Bulbs and Seeds are due to soil 

 conditions, unfavorable weather and other causes en- 

 tirely beyond our control, rendering it impossible to 

 guarantee sticcess; and although we will take all pos- 

 sible care to 'send only such stock as will under proper 

 conditions give satisfactory results, we do not, and 

 should not be expected to guarantee stock to grow or *

 tain complaints that are not made promptly after re- 

 ceipt of goods. 



ERRORS AND COMPLAINTS 



We exercise the utmost care in filling orderSj_'striv- 

 ing to do a little more than we promise, yet in the 

 press of business errors sometimes occur, and when 

 orders are received that are in • any way damaged, or 

 not satisfactory, we wish to be promptly notified of 

 the fact and will mlake such an adjustment of your 

 claim as will be satisfactory. When you write us 

 simply give the^ nature of your complaint, giving a 

 list of the plants damaged and price paid for them 

 and state whether you wish these items replaced or 

 the amount refunded. It is nearly impossible to find 

 time in the busy season to adjust your complaints 

 promptly unless you give us all the information re- 

 quired to do so in your first letter.
