SUGGESTIONS TO ALL WHO BUT.

Leeward Islands, Mexico, Salvador, British Guiana, Newfoundland, Cuba, Porto Rico, Windward

Our Customers in Canada.—We send to Canada same as in United States, Seeds, Bulbs, 
Greenhouse Plants, and Plants whose tops die down in winter. In all cases when possible the 
duties and postage will be paid on Seeds and Plants at retail catalogue prices, except when the 
price is given delivered at the Express or Railroad office in Rochester, N. Y., such as Potatoes 
and other heavy goods. 
No Goods C. O. D. — Persons often order small packages sent C. O. D., and the express charges 
sometimes amount to more than the order, and then they refuse to take them. This is not our fault, of 
course, but it makes us expense for express both ways, and sometimes loss of the plants ; therefore, we 
send 710 goods C. O. D. {collect on delivery .) This rule is imperative. We are responsible, and 
guarantee safe arrival. 
Those who want heavy seeds in large quantities can get them very cheap by freight if they will 
order early. Many of our customers take advantage of this fact, and more should do so. 
Shipping Plants. Orders for plants will be held until about April ist, when we begin shipping to 
the warmer States, and northward as fast as the weather will permit, unless otherwise requested. If 
wanted for winter flowering or immediate use, state the fact. 
Cash with Order.— Filling thousands of orders each week during the rush of business from Jan¬ 
uary ist to June jst, makes it necessary that each order be accoyitfianied with the cash. 
The Safe Arrival of Packages Guaranteed. — We guarantee the safe arrival of packages of 
Seeds, Bulbs, and Plants in good condition. If a package fails to reach a customer we will send again 
as soon as informed of the fact; or if any part is injured or lost we will replace it. We do not consider 
ourselves held by this guarantee unless complaints are made within tc 7 i days after receipt of plants. 
Sometimes orders never reach us, and many orders, with cash, reach us without post office or state. 
When customers fail to receive their goods in a reasonable time they should inform us, and at the same 
time send a copy of their order, stating the amount of money, and in what manner it was sent. 
Whenever writing in reference to previous order, be sure and fuentiofi the post office to which goods 
were to be shipped, and sign the same 7 iame as in the first order. 
Correction of Errors.— We take the utmost care in filling orders, always striving to do a little 
more for our friends and patrons than justice and fair dealing require. In case an error is made, we 
desire to be informed of the fact, and promise to make such corrections as will be perfectly satisfactory.
