TABLE OF EXPRESS RATES. 
For the convenience of Customers who contemplate ordering their Seeds or 
Plants by Express, I here append a table of the present rates to various lead¬ 
ing points, which will serve them to arrive approximately at. the charges to 
their own town. 
PLANTS BY EXPRESS. 
I would always recommend having plants sent by Express, when there are 
many ordered, and when there is an Express Office npar, as I can usually send much 
larger plants, and do not have to wash the soil ofif the roots, as is the case when 
sent by mail. When the weather is sufficiently warm, I pack all express orders in 
light, strong baskets, (which we furnish free), leaving the tops exposed. Plante 
packed in this manner will carry nicely for a great distance, and will keep from a 
week to ten days in a fresh condition. You wili see that my express club terms are 
very liberal, and will more than compensate you for express charges. I give below 
the rates on a package of twenty pounds in weight, to a few of the principle cities. 
Larger or smaller packages will he in proportion. From ?3.00 to $5.00 worth of 
' plants can he put in a twenty-pound package. By inquiring of your agent for the 
rates to the nearest of the following cities, you can tell about what the charges will 
be to your place.
