WHEN ORDERING —Please be particular to write distinctly your 
name, Post Office (and Express Office, if different), County and State, giving 
the quantity and variety required, and the manner you prefer them sent. 
This prevents much delay and often disappointment. All orders are 
acknowledged upon receipt of same. 
GOODS ORDERED.— We try to ship every order as soon as oossible 
after receipt, weather, etc., permitting, unless otherwise instructed. 
REMITTANCES —Must accompany all orders from unknown cor¬ 
respondents, which can be made by Bank Draft, Post Office Order, 
Express Money Order, or Registered Letter. Small amounts may be sent 
in U. S. Postage stamps. 
CASES AND PACKING. —These are furnished free of charge, except 
in special cases. We use the most improved methods in packing as lightly 
as possible consistent with safety. All goods are shipped at the reduced 
rate, 20 per cent, off regular merchandise rates. In the absence of special 
instructions we use the best information obtainable for customer’s benefit, 
per express. When goods are ordered shipped by freight, they are sent so 
only at purchaser’s risk. 
ERRORS AND DAMAGES .—When such occur, customers will con¬ 
fer a favor by advising us at once by mail, and if the fault is ours we will 
cheerfully correct it, but I cannot be responsible for damage in transit. 
C. O. D. —Orders must have at least half the amount accompanying 
them as a guarantee of good faith, otherwise the goods will not be sent. 
No deviation from this rule. 
TERMS .—The prices herein quoted are net cash, 30 days, unless 
otherwise agreed upon before the goods are shipped. For large orders I will 
give a liberal discount, for cash, before shipping the goods. Invoices are 
sent with each shipment. Correspondence solicited from all intending 
purchasers. 
NUMBER OF PLANTS. —Six plants at dozen rates; fifty at hundred 
rates; five hundred at thousand rates. 
VISITORS —Are always welcome to visit my place to inspect the 
stock and to see for themselves the class of goods I am offering.
