Smiths , Powell & Lamb's Descriptive Catalogue of Fruit 
bulk (see wholesale trade list). "We have just added largely to our 
cellar accommodations and are now in condition to take orders for a 
large quantity of stock to be stored in cellar for early shipment in the 
Spring to those sections where the season is too far advanced before we 
are able to dig. 
Our office is. situated at 195 West Genesee Street, and easily accessible 
from the railroad stations. 
Visitors are at all times welcome, and will be shown over our grounds 
and invited to make personal examination of our stock. 
First . — Send in your orders early if you wish them to receive imme- 
diate attention. We execute them in rotation as received, and to treat 
all impartiallj r we cannot fill them out of their regular order even if 
immediate attention is desired. 
Second — Let your name, place of residence, County and State, always 
be legibly written. 
Third . — Write your orders out clearly and distinctly, apart from the 
body of the letter. 
Fourth . — Be particular to describe the kinds of trees, especially Fruit 
trees, that are wanted; state whether Standards or Dwarfs; also say 
whether substitutions of other varieties are desired in case there be 
some named of which we have not at the time a supply. Our rule is to 
furnish the varieties ordered to the extent of our ability, and not make 
substitutions unless authorized. Where varieties are not named, the 
selection being left to us, we make the list according to our best judg- 
ment for the interest of the purchaser. 
Fifth . — All trees, plants, etc. sent from our Nurseries will be dis- 
tinctly labeled and packed in the best manner, for which we only charge 
for the boxes or bales, and all packages will be delivered without 
charge for delivery at the railroad, after which they are at the risk of 
the purchaser. 
Sixth . — Give specific directions as to the mode, route and line by 
which you wish your packages transported, and to whose care you 
would have them consigned. We must otherwise be governed in these 
matters by our own judgment. 
Seventh . — We desire to be informed immediately of the occurrence of 
any error, omission or oversight, should any be chargeable to us, that 
it may be corrected at once. 
Eighth . — All orders from strangers must be accompanied with a 
draft on New York, postoffice or express order, for the amount. 
Our Descriptive Catalogue will be sent free to our patrons; to others 
on receipt of 10 cts. in postage stamps. 
Special prices will be given to large planters upon application.
