ORDERS. Please be sure and write your name and address plainly, giving 
Fostoffiee, County and State —and do this every time you write. Be particular 
to say how the goods are to be sent, whether by mail or express. If ordered 
shipped before the middle of March most places can be reached safely by 
freight, but don't please don't order plants to go by freight late in the season, 
the risk is too great. Keep a correct copy of your order and check off all the 
stock when it arrives. People often forget what they order and make unjust 
complaint. J 
CLAIMS.— If any, must be made on receipt of goods, when they will be 
carefully and cheerfully examined, and, if just, all will be made satisfactory. 
Anyclaim made after fifteen days from receipt of goods will not be entertained. 
I send out only good stock, in good condition, carefully packed in all cases but 
success or failure depends in so large a degree upon the weather and care and 
management after having been received, that I do not, because I cannot, un¬ 
dertake to guarantee stock to live 
PACKING— Is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to 
pack lightly, thereby reducing the express to a minimum. All goods at prices 
quoted are packed free. Everything is labeled. 
TIME OF SHIPHENT—I commence to ship to my Southern customers 
during mild weather any time after they receive this catalogue. In most sea¬ 
sons I can fill a limited number of orders in January and February for the 
South, and as late as the 1st of May for my northern customers; but for all sec¬ 
tions it is advisable to order early and name date for shipment as early as you 
can possibly use the plants. This is good advice for several reasons, as plants 
when shipped early, if to go a long distance, are less liable to damage in the 
package; they have less foliage and can be packed lighter, thereby lessening ex¬ 
press charges; and another grod reason isthatplants set early almost invariably 
do well if cared for by an intelligent person, while those set late in the season 
often do well but frequently fail entirely. 
©"ALWAYS use the order sheet in catalogue in making out your order, 
and do not mix jour order and letter together on same sheet.
