NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Persons Ordering Trees by Letter, will save us much trouble by writing 
out the names of varieties distinctly, in a list by themselves, intimating plainly 
where substitution may be made, in which case we will try to give perfect 
satisfaction. We are always happy to rectify mistakes made by us. and would 
be pleased to have our patrons advise us of such. 
We Deliver Trees at the Depots in Rochester, free of expense for cart¬ 
age, charging onl}^ the cost of packing, wdiich is done in the most careful and 
perfect manner. 
Directions p'or Shipments should always be plainly written, but when no 
directions are given we use our judgment to ship by the best route. After 
trees leave Rochester we are no longer responsible for miscarriage or accidents 
of an}^ kind. 
It' THE Trees yVRi: Frozen when received, the}^ should be buried in the 
ground without unpacking, or placed in a cellar free from frost, until they 
aie thawed, riius treated they will be uninjured. 
Ip rp.ceived too L.vtpI for Fai.l Planting, or if it is otherwise desirable 
to keep them until spring, they should be taken out of the bales or boxes and 
bulled, root and branch, in a dry place, or placed in a slanting position, Uie 
roots and stems covered with earth, and the branches protected with a covering 
of leaves oi evergreen boughs. At an}' time when they appear dry or shriveled, 
they can be easily renovated by being buried for a few days in the ground. 
loo Late in the Spring. —We sometimes have complaint made that trees 
ordered from our Nurseries arrive too late in the spring. It is a well estab¬ 
lished fact, but one not generally understood by our correspondents, that if a 
tree is in good condition and th^ buds in a doimant state when received, it does 
not mattei how far advanced the’ season may be when the tree is planted— 
indeed if the ground has become already warmed after the cold spring rains 
are ovei, so much the better—the tree will thrive surely if properly cared for. 
Dry Weather. —If the rveather is dry, we advise thorough viiilchi'ng—hni 
water sparingly. 
Unknown Correspondents. —All orders from unknown correspondents 
should be accompanied by a remittance, or a satisfactory reference furnished.
