cost of carriage absorbs the 
value of the parcel, when 
we reserve to ourselves the 
right to send unpaid.)

RAILWAY STATION in ENGLAND & WALES, or to ANY PORT in IRELAND or SCOTLAND 
where practicable, also FREE by PARCELS POST to Purchasers’ door where possible. 
We occasionally hear of charges being made by the Railway Companies, not- 
withstanding that our address label bears the imprint in red tetters, “Carriage 
Paid.” In cases where a Charge for the Railway Carriage is made, notwithstanding 
that the Package is labelled “ Carriage Paid,” Purchasers should on no account pay 
the demand, but refer the Carriers to us. Charges for deliuery from Stations 
must be borne by the consignee.

We allow 5 per cent, discount off the total amount of invoice on all goods paid 
for with order, or within fourteen days from the date of invoice, but at no later 
period (UNLESS OTHER TERMS ARE SPECIFIED OR ARRANGED).

orders are given out for execution under personal supervision. Plant orders are 
sometimes delayed by severe or hot weather, and they at all times take longer to 
execute than Bulb or Seed orders, In consequence of the time required in lifting 
and packing, especially in the autumn, after the long accumulation of orders.

is also necessary. Booking charges must be prepaid, and a receipt should be 
taken, so that the value may be recovered if they are lost or mis-sent. Coin, other 
valuables, or Important communications should on no account be enclosed with 
returned empties. On receipt of a post-card we will send labels.
