I rOLLOWINC INSTRUCTIOHS CAREFULLY | 
Tho prices in this list are very low, and the 1 
money must accompany the order in all cases, as 
I cannot afford to credit any one at these prices. 
I send out an inexpensive catalogue, with no 
impossible descriptions or untried noyelties in it. 
My plants will be found to be strong and well 
grown. They are not unnaturally forced, and are 
grown in cool temperature. This is a very im- 
portant point for plants that are to be planted 
outdoors, as they are hardy, and will start to grow 
at once. 
I pay postage on all plants by mail, and guar- 
antee that all plants sent out will reach you in 
perfect condition. 
My mailing size plants are strong and well 
grown, and will start to grow at once. But it is 
best, when .possible, to have plants sent by ex- 
press, as I ean often send larger plants, and put 
in more plants gratis. All express companies al- 
low a reduction of 20 per cent, from the regular 
merchandise rate. 
A fair idea of the expressage on a box of plants 
or bulbs to your place may be formed from the 
following table. Wc can ship by express: 
10 pounds to any point in state of Vir- 
ginia for $0 25 
20 pounds to Charleston, S. C., for 45 
20 pounds to Richmond, Va., for 35 
20 pounds to Savannah, Ga., for 50 
20 pounds to Galveston, Texas, for 1 10 
20 pounds to New Orleans, La., for 80 
20 pounds to Philadelphia, Pa., for 35 
20 pounds to Now York, N. Y., for 35 
20 pounds to Boston, Mass., for 35 
20 pounds to Pittsburg, Pa!, for 35 
20 pounds to Louisville, Ky., for 45 
20 pounds to St. Louis, Mo., for $0.65 
20 pounds to Chicago, 111., for 45 
20 pounds to Richmond, Ind., for 50 
20 pounds to Topeka, Kans., for 1 00 
Always name what express company has an of- 
fice at your place. When possible it is best to 
have plants forwarded by Adams or Southern Ex- 
press. 
Errors — Wc use every precaution to guard 
against errors, but in the press of business they 
will sometimes occur, or something be omitted from 
the order. In any case, we wish to know of any- 
thing that is not satisfactory, so that we may cor- 
rect the error. 
Always use order sheet, as it enables us to fill or- 
ders with dispatch and accuracy. 
SENDING MONEY— All remittances should be 
made by registered letter, express order, or post- 
office money order. Postoffice orders are the safest 
and best, and should bo drawn on Oakton, Va., 
which is now a money order office. Please do not 
send stamps. 
Checks will be received. Money sent loose in 
letter is at sender’s risk. 
No orders for plants will be received for less 
than 25 cents unless 10 cents is added to pay for 
packing. 
I am only twelve miles from Washington, D. C., 
and have, therefore, direct connection with all 
railroad lines leading from Washington, and can 
insure quick transportation of all shipments to any 
point. 
All our plants are grown on their own roots. 
We grow no budded or grafted plants, as such are 
very unsatisfactory to planters. 
When sending your order, if you will send the names of a few of your 
I friends who are plant buyers, I will be pleased to send you something 
extra for your trouble. Please be sure that the names are of people who buy plants, and send 
only a few, as I do not want long lists of names. I wilt send you many fine plants extra if you 
will get your friends’ orders and send them with yours, so that all may go by express to you. 
Large Roses for Immediate Effect 
For general planting we recommend our ordinary size Roses, knowing that with fair treat- 
ment they will grow and bloom continuously through tho season. But as many of our patrons 
prefer large Roses i;or immediate effect we wish to call special attention to the two-year-old plants 
off’ered, as they are very heavy, fine plants, and the i>rices are very low for such stock. Wo keep 
them in cold houses during winter — entirely dormant, so they are in best condition for immediate 
blooming. They are too largo to be sent by mail and must be sent by express at purchaser’s ex- 
pense. However, if the order is small, we will send by mail if 5c per plant be added for jiostage.
