Preliminary Notes. 
FERNS have been a prominent feature in our Catalogue for many years. There are 
no plants that give better satisfaction ahd require so little care as these. 
POSTPAID. We will deliver at your post office the Ferns, Hardy Perennials, Bog 
and Aquatic Plants and Orchids given in this Catalogue at prices named. 
TREES, SHRUBS and ROSES. These are too heavy for the mail, but they will 
be delivered at the express or freight office here, the purchaser paying transportation 
charges when goods are received. When stock can be packed in small boxes no charge 
is made, but when larger boxes or bales are used a Charge will be made to cover actual 
cost. 
IN MANY CASES, where the distance is not too great, parties would find it to-their 
advantage to have their stock of Ferns and Hardy Perennials sent by express, as heavier 
or more bulky plants could be sent in this way that could not go by mail. 
EXPRESS RATES. The express company here (Adams) offers to carry nursery 
stock at a reduction of 20 per cent discount from the regular rate. Thirty-five 
pounds can be sent to Boston or New York for 35 cents, and 1 cent for each additional 
pound ; ioo pounds go for 80 cents. Eleven pounds can be sent to Chicago for 35 cents 
and 3 cents for each additional pound. V';-;/ ..j;-‘ 
REMITTANCES m^y be made by Registered Letter, by Post Office Money Order 
on South wick, Mass., or by draft. 
CERTIFICATE OF INSPECTION. A copy will be sent to purchasers when desired.
