Donble-Track Railroads lead to all the above cities, and other single-track 
roads and branches. like the spokes of a wheel, extend to nuiiiiToiis smaller 
towns, giving us great advantages in making projnpt sliiiiments anil ijuick 
delivery of o\ir iroods. 
Springfield is the terminus of the New York and New Haven R. R., of the 
New York an<l New England, of the Connecticut River, of the Athol Branch, 
and of the Huston and Jl.-iine. By this road we can now sliiji trees .-ind plants 
to all the states north of us — Maine, New Hampsliire and Vermont — without 
change or delay. 
The American Express and the Adams Express deliver all orders at our 
office twice daily. 'I'liey also forward our trees and plants directly from the 
Nurserv at special l<jw rates. 
Other Expresses run to Holyoke, Chicopee Palls, Westfleld, Ludlow and 
Thomp.sonville. We i)refer to ship packages of medium size by express. Large 
trees can only be shipped by freight trains, for which the rates have been 
reduced, and are now reasonable.

Early Orders by Mail are requested. 
City Purchasers ■ mh pay the driver, when he delivers their orders.

cultivation.
