Double-track railroads lead to all the above cities, and other 
single-track roads and branches, like the .«pokes of a wheel, extend 
to numerous smaller towns, giving us great advantages in making 
prompt shipments and quiok delivery of our goods. 
Springfield Is the terminus of the Now York and New Haven 
Railroad, of the New York and New England, of the Connecticut 
Kiver, of the Alhol branch, and of the Boston and Maine. By this 
road we can now ship trees and plants to all the states north of us — 
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont — without change or delay. 
The American Express and the Adams Express deliver ail 
orders at our office twice daily. They also forward our trees and 
plants directly from the Nursery at special reduced rates. 
Other Expresses run to Holyoke, Chicopee Falls, Westfield, 
Ludlow and Thompsonville. We prefer 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. 
Trees delivered at any place In Springfield without expense. 
Early orders by mall are requested. 
City purchasers can pay the driver when he delivers their orders. 
Packing, in bales or boxes, is done by skilled workmen, so that 
trees may travel hundreds of miles in safety. We charge only the 
cost. 
Cartage free to any depot, or express office, or city residence. 
Trees and plants will be added to pay express or freight to out-of- 
town purchasers.
