IMPORTANT NOTICE, 
Read "Before Ordering 
Please send the remittance with the order. We do a strictly cash business, and 
have no open accounts in the mail order department. 
Our responsibility. We guarantee all goods to reach their destination in a live 
condition, but when we have done this our responsibilty ceases, because we know 
that if they receive proper treatment they will grow nicely. Many plants die from 
careless treatment and neglect; in such cases we cannot and should not be expected 
to replace them, as we cannot guarantee plants to grow when neglected. 
Should you receive two or more Catalogues alike, which sometimes occurs have 
the kindness to present such as you do not need to others who will likely want plants 
By doing so, confer a double favor. We will also feel thankful for your recommenda- 
o£ our establishment to your friends wanting plants. A copy of our Catalogue 
will be furnished to friends requiring plants, on receipt of address. 
When sending club orders, please give full name and address of each member of 
the club, so that we may enter their names and forward them our Catalogues as issued 
When corresponding, be careful always to sign your name the same way. Ladies 
sometimes send an order in their own name, and perhaps write again inquiring about 
the order in their husband’s name. This often causes us much annoyance and waste 
ot time. Do not mix your order and correspondence together. If you wish to write 
concerning the order, write it on the back of the order or on separate sheet. 
, By puf carelul manner ot packing we are able to send plants, etc., to all parts of 
the United States with perfect safety. Please favor us with an early order while 
stock is complete. 
Send post oflice money order or draft on eastern cities. If more convenient 
money can be sent by express money order with perfect safety, as in case the letter 
is lost a duplicate can be obtained if you are careful to keep your receipt Do not 
send individual checks, as it costs from 15 to 25 cents to get them cashed. It is not safe 
to send currency in letters unless registered. Money sent by express must be prepaid 
by the sender. Money may be sent at our risk only when the above conditions are 
complied with. 
It will facilitate the dispatch of business if with each order the Order Sheet is used, 
and the name and address are written plainly and in full; also direct by what con- 
veyance the articles may be sent. Please always particularly state whether plants are to 
be sent by mail or express. Express is always best where it can be done, and plants 
will be larger. When left to us, we will use our best judgment. 
New low express rates, We call attention to the new low express rates, which 
is a reduction of 20 per cent from the regular merchandise rate, at which plants have 
b f 0“ ex P re ssed heretofore, and also that packages of less than 100 pounds are billed 
at 100-pound rates. Remember, plants can be shipped at a lower rate than any other 
class of merchandise. No orders sent C. 0. D. unless at least one-third of amount is sent 
witd order. 
SIZE OF ORDERS. VVe fijl orders of any size, but no orders for less amounts |

cover cost of packing and postage. It takes as much time and packing for an order 
for one or two plants as it does for an order for two or three dollars, and we can not 
attord to fill orders for so small an amount and pay postage.
