EVERGREEN LODGE, 
A Few Points — Read Before Ordering. 
Our Terms. 
Our terms are invariably Cash with the order. 
Visitors Welcome. 
Visitors arc always welcome, as we have somethin); of interest for them to see 
at all seasons of the year. 
Express. 
All orders for goods not stating the mode of transportation will be sent by Ex- 
press at the purchaser’s risk. 
Remittances. 
In remitting, send Money Order or Draft; if in currency, invariably register 
the letter, as we will not be responsible for remittances otherwise made. 
Postage Stamps. 
When you cannot procure a money order and cannot make change otherwise, 
we will accept Postage Stamps. We would prefer two, live and ten cent stamps. 
Postal Notes. 
Postal Notes are very convenient for small amounts, but are no more safe than 
money sent in an ordinary letter, as they cannot be duplicated if lost, and anybody 
that gets them can collect them. 
Our Shipping Facilities. 
Our shipping facilities are first-class, and the rates by express or freight from 
this point are much lesss to all the States South of us than they are from any of the 
Northern floral establishments; the time occupied in transit is also much less. 
Have Your Goods Sent by Express. 
If possible, have your goods sent by express, is always our advice, as you invar- 
iably get your plants in a bettercondition ; and. as an inducement, we send a lot of 
plants extra to help pay express charges, and we feel ourselves repaid by the better 
satisfaction our shipments will give you. 
Orders For Less Than One Dollar. 
No orders for less than one dollar will be sent by mail unless fifteen cents ad - 
ditional to the price of the plants be sent to pay postage. It is quite as much trou- 
ble to handle, and requires as much postage to mail, a fifty cent order as it does 
one for two or three dollars’ worth of plants. 
When Our Liability for Loss Ceases. 
We take a receipt for all plants delivered in good order to carrying company, 
when our liability ceases, and the plants are at the risk of parties ordering. W'> 
make no charge for drayage or packing. If mistakes occur, notify us at once; 
oteerwise, we are not responsible. 
Letters and Packages. 
Letters travel somewhat faster in mails than packages, so, if we write you a 
letter, and it reaches you before the plants, wait a day or two before writing, and 
give them the necessary time, and in ninety-nine cases in every hundred all will 
come out right, saving both of ns the trouble of writing. 
Be Patient. 
In our busy season the office work is so pressing that packages of plants fre- 
quently leave the greenhouse before we get an opportunity to write, and as this is 
unavoidable, we beg our customers, if any plants are missing, to kindly wait two 
or three days for a letter of explanation before informing us of the shortage.
