ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
1st. — All orders should be legibly written out on the order sheet herein enclosed, this 
will save us much trouble and at the same time prevent mistakes. 
In case budded plants are ordered, state whether we shall send the same varieties on 
own roots, in case we cannot supply them budded. This is necessary where parties 
ordering have any preference for either mode. When nothing is said ire exercise our best 
judgment , and if out of budded plants, send those on their ovm roots, and, “ 1 ice versa .” Budded 
plants, however, cannot be sent by mail—they are too large ; they can only go by express. 
2 d* To secure fine plants it is advisable that orders be sent in as early as possible, as 
late in the season the strongest plants will have been selected, and the stock of some varie¬ 
ties exhausted. We fill orders in strict rotation. 
dd. Amateurs, in ordering, will do well to leave the selections to us as far as possible, 
but our list is open to all to make their own selections. Purchasers, however, will please say if 
they wish us to substitute, in case all the varieties ordered cannot be supplied. In such 
case we always endeavor to send something better, where it is possible, than the kind called 
for. 11 e do not substitute without being requested to do so. but if out of any sort we add to the 
number of the others ordered, unless otherwise directed . 
4th. It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages ac¬ 
company each order. All articles are at the risk of the purchaser after being shipped, 
and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarders alone must be held responsible. 
5th. Our customers are requested to notify us immediately, of any errors that may 
be committed in filling their orders so that we can at once make ample amends, as we 
desire to conduct our business, in all respects, satisfactorily to those who favor us with 
their confidence. 
dth.— All orders from unknown correspondents, must be accompanied with a draft on some 
of the principal cities, or a Money Order for the amount. When neither can be had, enclose 
bank bills in registered letter. 
7th. — Ladies, in ordering, will please always sign the same name ; it often causes us 
much trouble to receive a letter from Mrs. Mary Smith, and shortly after another from 
the same party, signed Mrs. James T. Smith. 
bth. Plants by Express. 11 hen no directions are given as to uhat wag the plants 
are to be sent , we always fonoard by Express at the purchaser's cost, no charge being made for 
packing. The plants which we send in this way (except the new and very scarce varieties) 
are one year old buds, or one to two year old plants on own roots, and in the case of hard v 
sorts, are generally dormant. They are, of course, very much larger and more valuable 
than those sent by mail, and all who can afford it will do much better to get their plants 
in this way. These plants are the only ones suitable for immediate effective results. 
9th. Plants by Mail. There is a laVge number of our customers who, living at 
remote distances from the Railroad or Express Offices, cannot conveniently receive pack¬ 
ages by Express. There is another and larger class, whose means do not admit 
of expensive purchases, but who cannot and will not be without flowers, and particularly 
without Roses. To such we are pleased to offer special inducements in the shape of Roses 
by mail, at half the price charged for the large plants, thus enabling all to provide them¬ 
selves with the most beautiful flowers. The plants are sent post-paid at the prices named,
