Explanatory Notes 
Hardy Flowers and Ferns are yearly growing in importance, and I am glad to expand my 
list to contain the numerous genera and species in demand everywhere. 
It is to be understood that this list is not completed until my Autumn Supplement is sent 
out, about September 1. All who have applied for this list will also receive the Supplement at 
the season of issue. 
Canadian Customers will please remember that the rate of postage to them is double 
that to any part of the United States, and that shrubs, trees and vines are not admitted from 
the States at all seasons. 
Express rates on nursery stock are much less than on other ordinary matter. Ours is the Ameri¬ 
can or National Express, and we can send as far as these lines go at very much reduced rates. 
To send 11 pounds from here to St. Louis costs only 35 cents, with 3 cents for each additional 
pound; 13 pounds to Chicago costs 35 cents, with 2% cents for each additional pound; 35 
pounds may be sent to Boston, Worcester, Springfield (Mass.), Concord (N. H.J, or to New 
York City, for 35 cents, and for each additional pound 1 cent will be added. Of course, when 
a package must go through the hands of more than one company, the expense will be greater. 
My prices include boxing, packing—except in the case of Trees and Shrubs (see instructions 
under that department)—and delivery to my nearest freight, post office or express office. 
Separate offers for free delivery have been added to my prices, for those who wish plants 
sent by post or prepaid. I shall reserve the right to send either by post or prepaid express at 
these rates, and want the name of your express office as well as your post office, whether the 
order is sent by post or not. These estimates by post may not always be exact, but when an 
excess of postage is sent I will either make up the deficiency in plants or return the excess. 
Where prices by mail are not given, it is understood that the plants are too large for mailing. 
The prices for seeds include postage.
