Terms of Payment, Etc. 
PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
HYACINTHS, TULIPS, CROCUSES, Etc. The prices quoted in this list on all Dutch Bulbs, Bermuda Lilies and Roman Hya¬ 
cinths are for advance orders, which must reach us not later than July 1, 1910. To make these very low prices, which are, in many 
instances, lower than American Wholesale Prices, we must have our orders in advance, as we cannot take any risk of having stock 
remain unsold on our hands. The bulbs will be delivered at the proper season, and need not be paid for until after delivery. Prices 
quoted include duty and all charges except freight or expressage from Pittsburg. 
TIME OF DELIVERY.—Bermuda Lilies arrive in August; Roman Hyacinths, Freesias, Candidum Lilies, the latter part of 
August or early in September; Dutch Bulbs, Hyacinths, Tulips, etc., about October I to 10. In ordering, please state whether 
you wish bulbs shipped as they arrive, or all in one shipment, about October 1 to 10. Dutch Bulbs may be sent safely by freight, 
but we advise shipping bulbs or plants that arrive in November by express. In absence of instructions we will send all bulbs in 
one shipment, except Japanese Lilies and Lily-of-thc-Valley, which will be shipped upon arrival, in October and November. Some 
dealers make a point of offering Dutch Bulbs for sale very early in the fall, which often necessitates the shipping of bulbs from Holland 
before they are properly ripened —a frequent cause of failure to bloom. \\ e do not usually try to deliver Dutch Bulbs before October 1, 
which is quite early enough. 
SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS.—Please send full shipping instructions. State whether goods are to be shipped by freight or express, 
and by what route. In the absence of instructions, we will ship by whatever method and route we think best. 
TERMS OF PAYMENT.—Our terms of payment are invariably cash on delivery, which does not mean that we ship C. O. I)., 
as we will not do so under any circumstances. We deliver the goods and mail bills at the same time, and expect payment within 
a few days. People unknown to us will please send references with their orders. Those who wish to send cash in advance 
with their orders will be allowed a discount of five per cent from the prices quoted on this list on all orders received before 
July 1, 1910. 
GUARANTEES. We guarantee all trees, shrubs, plants and bulbs furnished by us to be first-class, true to name and delivered 
in good condition when shipped by express. Stock is shipped by' freight at purchaser s risk, and customers must make claim on 
railroad companies for any loss caused by delay. 
We do not guarantee stock to grow, or results in any way. No complaint will be entertained that is not made immediately upon 
receipt of stock. 
There are so many causes for failure over which we have no control that we can assume no responsibility after stock is deliv¬ 
ered in good order. Poor soil, unfavorable weather, ignorant or careless culture, all contribute to failure, and all are beyond our 
control. 
EARLY ORDERS.—The earlier orders are given, the better we can have them filled. Some of our customers are now giving 
us orders to be delivered next spring. Our representative usually sails for Europe early in July, and personally selects the stock 
for all import orders received by July 1. 
CLUB ORDERS. No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the list, except that six bulbs will be furnished 
at dozen price, fifty at hundred price and five hundred at thousand price; but it is suggested, where these quantities are too large, 
that two or three friends or neighbors could combine their orders with advantage, and save transportation charges. 
PLEASE NOTICE the date of delivery and the limit of time for receiving orders for the different classes of stock. Often orders 
are sent us too late in the season to be filled. 
EXPERIMENTAL GROUNDS. For our own information and for the benefit of our customers, we have established experimental 
grounds where all promising novelties are tested. We also grow all varieties of trees, shrubs and hardy plants generally in the 
trade, so that we can have full information as to their respective merits. 
UNITED STATES AND AMERICAN EXPRESS SHIPMENTS.—Our Pittsburg shipping is all done from Cheswick, a local station 
which is an exclusive Adams Express office. We can not ship direct by any other company, but we can ship by Adams Express, 
care of American, United States, Wells-Fargo, or Pacific Company from Pittsburg.
