IOSE who have previously received our catalogues will 
miss the illustrations in this issue. We believe that the 
plant-purchaser knows what he wants, and is most inter¬ 
ested in what we have for sale, the sizes and prices, printed 
in plain, large type, and does not depend to any extent upon 
catalogue illustrations for guidance. Anyone seeking advice on garden 
or landscape matters will please refer to the inside back cover page of 
this catalogue. We will send, on request, a list of carefully selected 
books, covering the entire field of horticulture. 
Important to Purchasers 
PRICES—NOTE CAREFULLY 
Single-rate prices are for less than five of a kind. 
Ten-rate prices are for five or more, and less than twenty-five of a kind. 
Hundred-rate prices are for twenty-five or more, and less than 250 of a kind. 
Thousand-rate prices are for 250 or more of a kind. 
We cannot agree to fill small orders for a few of a kind for less than single rates, 
as it oftentimes takes one over many acres of ground to fill a single order, and the 
proportionate expense of digging and packing orders must be taken into account.

for less than five of a kind, shipped at the same time, amounting to the following:

TERMS. Cash in advance from unknown parties, or satisfactory reference. We

receipt of goods, notify us immediately, and we will do all in our power to see 
that it is rectified. 
HOW ORDERS ARE SHIPPED. We ship large trees and other bulky orders by 
freight, unless otherwise requested. Medium-sized orders can be shipped In- 
express to advantage; this is especially advisable where immediate arrival is desired. 
All orders arc delivered free to local freight or express companies and in the city. 
We are not liable for delays by forwarding companies. If stock is not promptly 
received, notify us and we will trace. 
PACKING. We charge for packing at cost, when stock is purchased at hundred- 
rate prices, or in case of large, bulky stock, or where we ship with carefully pre¬ 
served balls of earth. Otherwise we make no charge for packing. 
HOW TO REACH US. Our nursery and office are located at EDC.EWOOD, Edge- 
wood Avenue, just beyond Edgewood Park. See Guide Map on inside back cover. 
EARLY ORDERS. To one familiar with the rush at the packing season, it must be 
obvious that it is impossible to fill an order requiring much time in its prepara¬ 
tion on short notice, without doing an injustice to others who have their orders 
previously booked. In fairness to all, we have adopted the practice of filling orders 
in the rotation received, unless orders reach us far enough ahead of the packing 
season, with instructions to ship at a given date, so that we can arrange a special 
shipping date. So we again say — place your order as far in advance of shipping as 
you possibly can, stating when you would like stock sent. 
IMPORTANT NOTE. \ isitors are always most cordially welcome. During the 
spring and fall there are short intervals, however, when it is quite impossible 
for us to devote much time to showing parties about the nursery, as these are 
the most strenuous shipping periods of the entire year. 
TRANSPLANTING DIRECTIONS. This instructive pamphlet we arc pleased 
to send on request.
