E. W. REID’S CATALOGUE OF SMALL FRUITS, ETC. 
WHEN TO ORDER, 
Early, in all cases ; then you are sure of stock named, and we have time to advise you 
in regard to anything you may want to know. We also give early orders on trees, etc., a 
discount. Our stock iu many cases will be exhausted before the season is over, as is the 
case with every nursery, so you see the importance of early orders. 
We will hold stock if one-fourth its value is paid, but in no case will we book orders 
unless that amount is paid as a guaranty. 
MAIL (ORDERS. 
This we make as one of our specialties, sending plants, vines and trees by mail; in many 
cases it is much cheaper than by express. We send plants by the thousand by mail at a 
much less rate to California and other distant points. 
This part of the business is looked after by E. W. Reid himself, and every package 
goes through his hands before going to the mail-pouch. You may be sure that after a 
life experience he is an expert at the business. 
HOW FAR CAN WEISHIP? 
A question wo cannot answer. Never have we tried to send stock to a customer, no 
matter how far, but that word has come to us that stock lias arrived in good condition. 
It has been packed forty-five days, and received in good condition. 
CLAIMS. 
Should at any time a mistake be made, we will rectify it; but all claims must be made 
on receipt of goods. Be very careful in unpacking, and mistakes will seldom be found. 
SHIPPING FACILITIES. 
No nursery in the country has better lines of road to ship over than ours, as we can 
reach every point in the land almost directly over one of the roads or its system, which 
are as follows : B. & O.. P. C. & St. L., C. & P., Ohio River, C. L. & W., which is run by
