. We cannot agree to fill small orders for a few of a kind for less than 
single rates, as it oftentimes takes one over many acres of ground to fill 
a single order, and the proportionate expense of digging and packing 
orders must be taken into account.

HOW ORDERS ARE SHIPPED. We ship all large trees and other bulky 
orders, which are to go outside the city, by freight, unless otherwise 
requested. Medium sized orders can be shipped by express. This way 
is especially advisable where immediate arrival is desired. All orders 
are delivered free to local freight and express companies. We are not 
liable for delays by forwarding parties. If not promptly delivered 
notify us and we will trace. 
PACKING. We make no charge for packing excepting in cases zvhere large, 
Jt bulky stock is sent or where we are requested to ship with carefully preserved 
balls of earth, etc., which necessitates devoting more time and packing 
material than is usual. In this case a charge covering actual costs is made. 
I ORDER EARLY. Do not wait until you are ready to plant before ordering, 
but place your order as far in advance as possible. We will hold such 
orders subject to further directions if requested. The actual shipping 
season is so short that much is gained both to the planter and the 
nurseryman when orders are booked as far in advance as possible of the 
actual shipping season.

WOOD, Edgewood Avenue, just beyond Edgewood Park. The Edgewood

Specimens for Immediate Gf f ect* 
AT the nursery we give special attention to growing into large sizes many 
kinds of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, etc., for by their use 
much quicker results can be obtained than by the use of smaller stock. 
We have now a limited number of fruiting sizes m Apple, Pear, Cherry, 
' Plum and Quince trees, also many fine specimen Shade-trees, Shrubs and 
Vines, and Roses. Particular attention is called to our large collection ot 
specimen Evergreens, ready for immediate effects. The number of these 
specimen plants is always more limited than of the smaller grades. _ A visit 
to the nursery is desirable where the selection of individual specimens is 
required. By sending us a description of what is desired we can usually 
make selections which will be perfectly satisfactory when a personal visit is not 
Practicable.
