Important to Purchasers.

Single rate prices are for less than five 
of a kind.

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.

We send invoice at time of shipment of order, and should any error be noticed 
on receipt of goods notify us immediately and we will do all in our power to 
rectify it. 
HOW ORDERS ARE SHIPPED. We ship all large trees and other bulky or¬ 
ders, which are to go outside the city, by freight, unless otherwise requested. 
Medium sized orders can be shipped by express to advantage; this is especially 
advisable where immediate arrival is desired. All orders are delivered free 
to local freight, express companies and in the city. We are not liable for 
delays by forwarding parties. If stock is not promptly received notify us and 
we will trace. 
PARCEL POST. Herbaceous-plants and Dormant Roses sent Postpaid at single rate prices, if 
requested. Most of the stock sent out by the Nursery is too large and bulky to be sent by 
Parcel post. 
PACKING. We make no charge for packing excepting when stock is purchased at 
hundred-rate prices or in case of large bulky stock , or where we ship with carefully 
preserved balls of earth , etc., which necessitates devoting more time and packing 
material than is usual. In such instances a charge covering cost is made. 
HOW TO REACH US. Our nursery and office are located at EDGEWOOD, 
Edgewood Avenue, just beyond Edgewood Park. See Guide Map on opposite 
page . 
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 are received 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. Visitors 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 are pleased 
to send on request. 
GARDENS.—AFTER CARE. Attractive gardens can only be reason¬ 
ably expected ivhere the original idea is good , workmanship thorough , materials 
high grade and necessary after care kept up. We can supply all these necessary 
features , even the after care , by special arrangement.
