otti3r; but iu all such cases please state that it is for a duplicate, so that wo will know 
that we have your name recorded. This aids us to keep our list without duplicate names. 
NOTICE.— We will be pleased to have our customers look after our interests in their 
locality. While we do not employ agents, we are pleased to have clubs, or any parties 
wanting stock, to club together, and send their orders as one. In this way you can save 
quite a per cent. ; you can get stock at a less rate, and save in freight. Not only this: you 
save 50 per cent, in price over the cost if bought from an agent; you also get what you 
order when you deal direct. 
packing Season. 
We begin July 1 with pot-grown plants, and can ship such until October 1. Layer 
plants are ready in September, but by dozen and hundred can be had in August. 
October 1 is the date we begin on nursery stock, and it is poor judgment to want stock 
shipped before this date; but f rom October 1 forward, we can ship until the ground 
freezes. 
Wben to ©rber. 
EARLY, in all cases; you are then sure of stock and delivery iu good time. P Vc also 
make libei'al discounts on early orders. 
Shipping ^facilities. 
No nursery in the country has better lines of road to ship over than we, as we can 
roach every point in the land almost directly over one of the roads or its system, as 
follows: B. & O., P. C. & St. L., C. & P., Ohio River, C. L. & W., which is run by the 
L. S. & M. S. We can ship to those along the Ohio river by steamers, which they will 
find very handy, and freight low. 
Express Offices: Adams, American, U.*S., B. & O., Pacific, and Wells, Fargo & Co. 
We ship from Wheeling, W. Va., on any road not in our town, as it is just as handy 
for us to do so.
