Important 3\Cotice--T^ead before Ordering 
Please send the remittance with the order. We do a strictly cash business, am! have no open 
accounts in tlie mail-order department. 
Our responsibility. We guarantee ail goods to reach their destination in a live condition, but when 
we have done this Ovtr responsibility ceases, because we know that if they receive proper treatment tliey will 
grow nicely. Many plants die from careless treatment and neglect; in sucl) cases we cannot and sliould not be 
expected to replace tliem, as we cannot guarantee plants to grow when neglected. 
Should you receive two or more Catalogues alike, which sometimes occurs, have the kindness to pre- 
sent such as you do not need to others who will likely want plants. By so doing, confer a double favor. We 
will also feel thankful for your recommendation of our establishment to your friends wanting plants. A copy 
of our Catalogue will be furnished to friends requiring plants, on receipt of address. 
When sendings 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 correspondinj^, be careful always to sign your name the same way. Ladies sometimes send 
an order in their own name, and perhaps write again iiujuiring about the order in their husband’s name. 
This often causes us much annoyance and waste of 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 our careful manner of packin/g we are able to send plants, etc., to all parts of the United States 
with perfect safety. Please favor us with an early order wlule stock is complete. 
Send post-office 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 care- 
ful to keep your receipt. Do not send individual checks, as it costs from 15 to 35 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 conveyance the articles may be sent. 
Please always particularly state whether plants are to be sent by mail or express. Ex- 
press 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 rale, at which plants have been expressed heretofore, and also that pack- 
ages of less than 100 pounds arc billed at loo-pound rates. Remember, plants can be shipped at a lower rate 
than any other class of merchandise. No orders sent C. O. D. unless at least one-third of amount 
is sent with order. 
Q-f orders of any size, but no orders for less amounts than 50 
— cts. will be filled unless I 5 cts, is sent to 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 of $2 or $3, and we cannot afford to fill orders for so small an amount and pay postage. 
Prompt filling of orders. We aim as far as possible to fill all orders the day after they reach us; 
but in the busy rush of the spring trade it is sometimes impossible to do this, and then they are filled in strict 
rotation and as speetlily as possible. We rarely hold an older for more than two or three days at the longest; 
so please do not be impatient, but give us a little time ami your order will have the most prompt attention pos- 
sible. If you do not hear from us in five or six days, then drop us a line, for your order may have failed to 
reach us; this will give us a chance to trace it, in case it has been miscarried, but you can depend on the most 
prompt execution possible, in filling your orders.
