E. W. Reid’s Catalogue of Small Fruits, Etc. 
Fruit Trees. 
SPECIAL, NOTICE. — We call your special attention to our line of nursery stock. Many of you, no doubt, 
know how often the people are robbed and humbugged by agents, who call upon you, saying they represent a 
certain firm when they do not ; they buy their st,ock wherever they can buy the lowest, and charge you double 
rate's for stock which is nothing but culls and common varieties. We have placed our ratep as low as any firm 
which has a reputation at stake, and we will protect the grower and give him just what he buys. We do not se 
a man “ Fay’s Currants ” and fill his order with “Cherry,” but he gets exactly what he buys. Our stock s said 
To be the finest in the country by those who have seen it and by those to whom we have shipped. We do not 
care to be boastful, but we will guarantee satisfaction. 
PACKING. — All stock at prices herein quoted packed free, and delivered at express office and depot free 
of charge. When goods are sold at a cut rate, or not ordered from this Catalogue, a small charge will be made 
for packing, only to cover time and boxing. All small fruits packed free of charge.
