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

HOW ORDERS ARE SHIPPED. We ship all large trees and other bulky 
orders, which are to go outside the city, by freight, unless otherwise re¬ 
quested. Medium sized orders can be shipped by express to advantage; 
this way is especially advisable where immediate arrival is desired. All 
orders are delivered free to local freight and express companies. We are 
not liable for delays by forwarding parties. If not promptly received 
notify us and we will promptly trace. 
PACKING. We make no charge for packing except in the case of large bulky 
stock, or where zee are requested to ship with carefully preserved bulls of 
earth, etc., which necessitates devoting more time and packing material than 
is usual. In such instances a charge covering actual cost is made. 
ORDER EARLY. Do not wait until you arc ready to plant before ordering, 
but place your order as far in advance as possible. We will hold such 01 dels 
subject to further directions if requested. 1 he actual shipping season is so 
short that much is gained both to the planter and the nurseryman wlnn 
orders are booked as far in advance as possible of the actual shipping season
