taken into account.

power to rectify it. 
HOW ORDERS ARE SHIPPED. We ship all large trees and other bulky o:J 
ders, which are to go outside the city, by freight, unless otherwise requested. 
Medium sized orders can be shipped by express to advantage; this is especially 
advisable where immediate arrival is desired. All orders are delivered free 
to local freight, express companies and in the city. We are not liable for I 
delays by forwarding parties. If stock is not promptly received notify us and ' 
we will trace. 
PACKING. We make no charge for packing excepting when stock is purchased at 
hundred-rate prices or in case of large bulky stock, or where we ship with carefully 
preserved balls of earth, etc., which necessitates devoting more time and packing] 
material than is usual. In such instances a charge covering cost is made. 
HOW TO REACH US. Our nursery and office are located at EDGEWOOD,! 
Edgewood Avenue, just beyond Edgewood Park. The Edgewood A venial 
cars direct to the nursery from the Railroad Station, and by transfer fro»'.= 
transfer points. Parties autoing, driving or wheeling to the nursery will find I 
West Chapel Street the best route, turning to the right at either Central or } 
Alden Avenue. 
EARLY ORDERS. To one familiar with the rush at the packing season, it must I 
be obvious that it is impossible to fill an order requiring much time in its prep- 1 
aration on short notice without doing an injustice to others who have their 
orders previously booked. In fairness to all, we. have adopted the practice of 
filling orders in the rotation received, unless orders are received far enough 
ahead of the packing season, with instructions to ship at a given date, so that 
we can arrange a special shipping date. So we again say — place your order as 
far in advance of shipping as you possibly can, stating when you would like stock 
sent. 
IMPORTANT NOTE. During March, April and May there are intervals when 
it is quite impossible for us to devote much time to showing parties about the 
nursery, as this is the most strenuous shipping period of the entire year.
