Notices to our Overseas Correspondents. 
Prepayment necessary.—Owing to the expense incurred in collecting accounts abroad, we beg 
that Customers will kindly enclose with their Orders a remittance, a Banker's draft payable in London, 
or an “ order to pay ” on a London Bank or agent; the remittance should be sufficient to cover 
cost of postage or carriage when the freight is required to be paid in advance. 
Cash Discount 5%.—In the case of Prepaid Orders to value of 40s. and upwards we allow a 
discount of Is. in the £ from the amount of Bulbs or Seeds ordered, which may either be deducted 
from remittance, or if this is not done, a liberal equivalent in goods will be added to the order. 
Carriage.—No allowance for Carriage can be made in the case of Foreign Orders ; the extra attention 
necessary precludes any kind of allowance in this respect. 
Packing.—A moderate charge will be made where special materials have to be used, such as Sphagnum 
Moss, Oil-Silk, or hermetically-sealed tin cases, and where any special packing necessitates a great 
deal of labour (as in the case of some Plant Orders), when out-of-pocket expenses only will be charged.

Shipping, etc.—In Shipping Bulbs and Plants to Australia, New Zealand, America, India and 
the Cape, we exercise great care in selecting, preparing, and properly packing the same. Still there 
are so many contingencies that we cannot, in any way, hold ourselves responsible for the 
condition in which Plants or Bulbs reach their destination. Our customers will confer a favour 
if they report, on arrival, the condition of the goods. Our experience in successfully preparing and 
shipping Seeds, Bulbs and Plants to all parts of the world extends over a period of 70 years.
