in every hundred, all will come out right, saving both of us the trouble 
of writing. 
BE PATIENT. 
In our busy season the office work is so pressing that packages of 
plants frequently 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. 
OUR LOW PRICES. 
A careful comparison of our prices with those of other growers will 
show that we offer plants much cheaper than the same grade of stock 
can be purchased for at any other establishment in the country. In 
proof of this we are willing to duplicate the prices of any first-class and 
reliable house in the United States on plants, in this Catalogue. 
('. O. D. ORDERS. 
C. O. D. orders must be accompanied by at least one-fourth of the 
amount in cash, and the parties ordering are to pay the express charges 
for collecting. Large orders of shrubbery, trees, etc., can go by ordi- 
nary freight, by consigning to our own ordes and sending bill of lading 
by express, C. O. D., endorsed to parties ordering. Heavy express 
charges are thus avoided and collections facilitated. 
OUR PLANTS. 
Plants offered in this Catalogue are none of your puny, weak little 
things that take till Pall to see what you get ; but are grown in pots 
ranging in size from two and one-half to four inches, according to the 
varieties of plants. We need not mention this to old customers who 
know what kind of plants we send out, but this Catalogue will be re- 
ceived by many people who never saw our plants or received our Cata- 
logue before. Patrons can always depend on getting their money’s 
worth, and more, too, as we are very liberal with our extras. 
MISTAKES. 
If anything is wrong with your order, do not think we intended it, for • 
we have no interest in so doing; our interest is to give satisfaction, and 
that we are determined to do; so should an error occur, kindly put it 
down as a mistake, notify us, and we will put it right. We wish our 
customers would, in every case, keep a copy of their order, and verify 
it on arrival of plants; this will prevent mistakes as to what they 
“thought” they ordered, but which was never written upon their order 
sheet; and if not too much trouble, please drop us a card on the arrival 
of the goods. We are glad to know when you are pleased, and we wish 
to know of any dissatisfaction, that we may make it right. 
ADDRESSES. 
Please be careful and write your Name and Address plainly. We can 
readily make out what is wanted in an order, as we are acquainted with
