A. B. Davis & Son, Purcellville, Virginia. 
will start to grow at once without coaxing. When our customers can afford it, it is better to have 
plants shipped by express, as we can often send larger plants, and put in more plants gratis. 
Plants received by mail should be placed in tepid water for 20 minutes before the moss is 
removed from their roots. 
We deliver all plants free of charge at Purcellville, a station on the W. , O. & W. division of the 
R. & D. R. R., or at Brunswick, a station of the B. & O. R. R. 
All remittances should be made by Registered Letter, Draft, Express Money Order or by Post 
Office Money Order, drawn to the order of A. B. Davis & Son, payable at Purcellville Post Office, Va. 
Always use the Order-Sheet, as it enables us to fill your order with despatch and accuracy. 
Orders for less than 50 cents’ worth of plants and flowers will not be filled, unless 10 
cents additional to the price of the plants be sent to pay postage by the person ordering. A 
50-cent order requires as much trouble in handling, and nearly as much postage, as an order for 
two or three dollars’ worth. 
CLUB ORDERS. 
Although our prices are exceedingly low, considering the quality of the plants furnished, yet 
we offer the following inducements to all who exert themselves in our behalf by soliciting their 
friends and neighbors to unite with them in ordering plants of us, thus increasing the amount 
remitted. By this arrangement, any one desirous of obtaining a few plants, who does not wish to 
spare the money for the purpose, can readily obtain them free of cost by spending a little time in 
soliciting orders of friends and neighbors, and sending the orders to us as early as possible, in one 
list. Each person’s order will be selected as directed and tied up separately, so that there will be 
nothing to do when the club’s package arrives but to deliver the bundles. 
We therefore offer the following liberal terms to those who wfll obtain orders— said orders to 
to be taken at regular price per single plant or bulb in Catalogue. It will, of course, be understood 
that these additional plants go to the person w r ho gets up the club, so that the club-raiser s name 
should always be signed. 
Please note: We wish it to be plainly understood that our special plant collections, plants quoted 
at reduced rates for 2, 3, 6, a dozen or a hundred of the same kind, are not included in club rates. 
Only plants ordered at the price per single plant are entitled to the discounts enumerated below.
