©par Jffrtpttiis: 
The plants offered here, we consider, to be as good as can be secured 
anywhere. 
Our prices are, we believe, as low as good stock can be sold and return 
a living wage. Why pay more? 
Cash with order—check, money order or bank draft. No goods sent until 
paid for, or 25% with order, balance C. O. D. 
All stock is offered subject to prior sale, or failure of the crop. 
We want to satisfy every reasonable demand and will do anything within 
reason, but it is understood that we are not liable for a greater amount than 
original cost of plants or bulbs. 
No charge is made for packing. Prices f. o. b. Lewes, Del.

Co., Milford, Del.; our customers, and the papers that carry our advertise¬ 
ments. 
TAKE NOTICE 
The prices quoted in this catalog are for the shipping trade. To those 
who can visit our greenhouses and make their own selection, the 
prices will often be considerably lower. This is due to the fact that all stock, 
especially perishable plants, must be wrapped and packed in such a way as 
to reach the purchaser in first class condition. This requires moss, oiled 
paper, and sturdy boxes for which we make no additional charge. Therefore 
many of you who live nearby may find it profitable to make the trip to our 
gardens at Lewes. 
In this catalog we are listing only a small part of the stock we have to 
offer. A visit will convince you of the large and varied assortment of flower, 
vegetable, and berry plants, shrubs, roots, bulbs, seeds, and evergreens that 
we have. 
At our gardens you will also see some of the newest introductions in the 
plant field, for each year we endeavor to select that which, in the future, will 
prove worthwhile. 
CARE OF PLANTS 
If not ready to plant for a few days, bury the roots in cool, moist ground, 
partially shaded, being careful to firm the ground well so as to come in con¬ 
tact with the roots. When ready to plant puddle the roots well in thin mor¬ 
tar of clay and water and keep from sun and wind while planting. If Straw¬ 
berry plants, be careful not to get water on foliage as it is sure to rot them. 
We suggest you write, U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. for 
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1028 Strawberry Culture, East. 
CUT FLOWERS 
We carry cut flowers and potted plants and request your orders for these 
in this vicinity believing our service will be satisfactory, having had many 
year’s experience in the arrangement of flowers. 
SUGGESTION. If you will send us the names and addresses of five or 
more persons who have good gardens, we will enclose with your order three 
(3) packets of good flower seeds to pay for your kindness. 
If we please you, kindly tell your friends. If you are not satisfied please 
tell us so that we can adjust anything that is amiss.
