Carriage of Roses, Fruit Trees, etc 
George Cooling & Sons pay carriage on all Orders for Rose 
Trees (excepting Plants in Pots) of 21s. in value and upwards to any Railway 
Station in England, and on Orders of 42s. to Scotland and Ireland. Fruit Trees 
are sent Carriage Free when the order amounts to £3 in England, and £5 for 
Scotland and Ireland. In all smaller orders than the above we add an extra plant 
or plants to compensate for carriage. 
Roses in Pots, Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, &c., we cannot undertake to 
send Free of Carriage, but will in all cases add liberally to the number ordered 
to compensate. 
Dwarf Roses up to about 12 in number may be sent in one package by Parcels 
Post, and we will forward in this manner if any of our customers wish. 
Customers in ordering will much oblige by giving instructions as to the most 
direct way of forwarding, name of station, &c., to ensure prompt delivery. 
A Discount of 5 percent allowed off all amounts above 20s. paid within 14 days’ date 
of invoice. All Accounts due, without deductions, at Midsummer and Christmas. 
Post Office Orders, to be made payable to George Cooling & Sons, at the Head 
Office, Bath. Cheques crossed “ Prescott & Co." A remittance or reference is 
respectfully requested from those sending their orders for the first time. 
The full price allowed for all packages if returned carriage free and in good 
condition within a month. 
Plants will be so packed that they may stand a journey of a week or ten days 
without injury. Should the packages arrive at their destination during a severe frost 
it will be advisable not to unpack them, but to keep them cool and moist, out of reach 
of frost, until a change of weather takes place. 
Failures sometimes take place in the removing and transplanting of all kinds of 
trees. This may occur through a variety of circumstances, such as severe frost and 
drought, cold north-easterly winds in spring, want of the usual care in planting, and 
other causes for which it is impossible for the nurserymen to be accountable. The 
greatest care is taken to supply healthy and strong plants of everything required ; 
and if on receipt any are broken in transit , or not satisfactory, we shall be pleased to 
make every compensation ; but complaints received months afterwards cannot be taken 
into consideration. 
FOREIGN ORDERS. 
We take special care in the selection of Roses and other Plants and Trees for exportation, and our 
system of packing has proved most successful ; only well ripened plants and most suitable varieties 
are chosen, and every care is taken to secure their safe arrival. 
FOREIGN PARCELS POST -Parcels of Roses may now be sent by post to British Colonies 
and to most Foreign Countries. 
N.B . — Foreign and Colonial Orders must in all cases be accompanied by a remittance ; this 
should include sufficient to cover cost of packing and carriage when latter has to be paid in advance. 
From Sir E. Hovill, Nicosia, Cyprus. — "All the plants you have sent me have done admirably."
