E. W. REID’S CATALOGUE OF SMALL FRUITS, ETC. 
WHEN TO ORDER. 
Order early ; then you get the piek of stock and you are sure to get what you want, as 
our stock iu some cases will run out before the season is over. This is the case in every 
nursery. 
SHIPPING FACILITIES. 
We can reach any part of the country, as we have the following railroads : P. C. 
& St. L., B. & O., C. & P., C. L. & W., Ohio Itiver R. R. These roads make close con- 
nections with all other leading roads, and as Wheeling, W. Va., is our shipping point, 
everything moves quickly, as it is a great manufacturing city. Express Companies: 
Adams, American, B. & O., United States, Pacific, Wells, Fargo & Co. These reach 
every point in the United States. 
REDUCED RATES. 
We now have reduced postage, freight and express rates. The Nurserymen's Associa 
tion has brought this about in the past two years. This is all to the buyer’s interest. 
PACKING. 
Everything is packed free of charge and delivered on board of train. Those of you 
who have bought stock and had to pay for boxes, packing and drayage know its cost. 
CLAIMS 
Must be made within ten days after goods are received; if not, they will be void. We 
always will rectify mistakes if in our power, and always have our men give good count. 
HOW FAR CAN WE SHIP? 
Never have we tried to ship to a party that goods did not reach him in good condition 
(see testimonials), which will explain all. 
MAIL ORDERS. 
This branch we make a specialty, and mail orders receive just the same attention as 
large orders, and I might add, more, as we pack so that they will be sure to carry. 
TERMS, AND HOW TO SEND MONEY. 
Cash with order, and address all mail to E. W. Reid, Bridgeport, O. Send money by 
Registered Letter, Post Office Money Order, Express Money Order or Draft on New York 
or Chicago. 
C. O. D. We will send plants in this way if desired, but one-fourth of price must 
accompany order, and it is understood that you have return charges of money to pay. 
This is the most expensive way, hud we would advise you not to have them sent in this 
manner. Telegraph Office at Bridgeport, Ohio. 
FORMER PRICES 
Are all set aside by this Catalogue, and the prices affixed to dozen, 100 and 1,000 are for 
the quantities named ; but 3 4 dozen, 50 and 500 at dozen, 100 and 1,000 rates. 
GUARANTEE. 
All our stock is true to name and carefully labeled ; but while we use the greatest care 
we will not be held i-esponsible for a sum greater than the cost of the stock, should any 
prove otherwise. We will refill orders or refund money should it prove other than true to 
name. 
TESTING FRUITS. 
We are always glad to receive new fruits for testing so that we can see how they do 
on our soil. They are as safe with us as with the originator, and at any time he wants any 
information in regard to them, it will be given. 
SEE OUR TESTIMONIALS, 
They prove the value of our stock, and the full address of each party is given.
