48 CHOICE SELECTIONS IN SEEDS AND PLANTS. F. R. PIERSON CO., TARRYTOWN-ON-HUDSON, N. Y. 
SUGGESTIONS AND DIRECTIONS TO BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING UP YOUR ORDER. 
WE MAIL ALL BULBS AND PLANTS, AT SINGLE AND DOZEN BATES, FREE AT CAT- 
ALOGUE PRICES, EXCEPT WHERE OTHERWISE STATED, as in the case of certain 
Bulbs, small Fruits, and. Plants, where the cost of postage is relatively disproportionate to the 
value of the Plants, or where the Plants are too large and heavy, as in the case of shrubbery, 
etc. Where postage is required, the amount named is for the United States only. For Canada, 
add double the amount. 
HOW TO HAVE PLANTS SENT.— In large lots the best means of shipment is by Express; but in 
small lots, and to distant points, Plants go cheaper and as well by Mail. 
We pack our Plants for the Mails securely in a strong wooden box, made especially for 
the purpose, which insures the safety of the Plants and prevents their being crushed. 
HOW EAR PLANTS CAN BE SENT.— Our manner of packing is so perfect that we guarantee 
everything we send by Mail or Express to reach any part of the United States in perfect order, 
in good growing condition; after that our responsibility ceases. If packages are delayed and 
plants injured, we will make good any loss sustained, if notified of the fact at once upon receipt 
of Plants. 
SHRUBBERY, HARDY PLANTS AND BULBS, WHEN DORMANT, can go as well by Freight 
as by Express, and at a large saving in expense. Where Boat-lines reach they should always be 
availed of. We can ship by any route from New York City desired. 
A LL GOODS OFFERED IN THIS CATALOGUE ARE READY TO SEND IMMEDIATELY , 
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, as in the case of certain Bulbs and Plants that are not in 
season so early. Orders received for such articles with goods now ready, will have all goods 
ready sent at once, and ai^ticles not in season will be sent later, but as soon thereafter as possi- 
ble, a reason being given at time of shipment for any and all omissions. 
WE M A IL ALL SEEDS IN PACKETS , O UNCES AND QUARTER-POUNDS AT CATALOGUE ; 
PRICES, FREE TO ANY POST-OFFICE; but when Peas, Beans, and Corn, by the quart or 
upward, and Seeds at pound rates, are ordered by Mail, add 10 cents extra per quart for Corn, 
and 15 cents extra per quart for Peas and Beans, and 8 cents extra per pound for postage, except 
Canada, which requires double that amount. 
HOW TO HAVE SEEDS SENT.— When Peas, Beans, Corn, and Seeds at pound rates are ordered, 
if the quantity is small, especially to distant points, they go cheaper by Mail; but large orders, 
to near-by points, will go cheaper by Express than by Mail; but where the order is large enough 
to warrant it, and time will permit, we should advise freight shipments, as on heavy orders a 
decided saving can be made. 
FERTILIZERS, LAWN-MOWERS, and other heavy goods should always be sent by Freight. 
TERM'S.— Orders from new customers must be accompanied by cash or satisfactory reference as to 
responsibility. We furnish Bulbs and Plants, 25 at hundred rates. In Seeds, ^ oz. at ounce 
• rates; li, lb. at pound rates; pk. at peck rates: ^ bus. at bushel rates. 
PAYMENTS FOR SEEDS AND PLANTS SHOULD BE MADE BY Bank Draft on New York, or 
by P. O. Money Order (if it can be had at your Post-office), made payable to F. ft. Pierson Co., 
Tarrytown-on-Hudson, N. Y.; if not, then in a registered letter, in bills; fractional parts of a 
dollar in postage stamps— never send silver. Letters can be registered at any Post-office in the 
United States on the payment of 10 cents. In any of these ways money will reach us safely, 
and is at our risk. Cash or Postal Notes sent in unregistered letters is at sender's risk. Orders 
from unknown customers, unaccompanied by a remittance, will be forwarded by Express, C. O. D.
