shall be taken. Five liundred, however, will be furnished at the thousand rate, fifty at the hundred rate, and five at the 
ten rate. The absence of a tliuusand, hundred or ton rate means in each ease that the next best rate is the lowest we 
can make. In no cose does this mean so many trees of assorted classes, but refers only to ONE CLASS of assorted 
varieties; for instance, 5 appU^s, or 5 i)ear8, or 6 plums, of different varieties, but not 2 apples, 2 pears and 1 plum. 
SUBSTITUTIONS

stated whether and to what extent substitution will be allowed in case the order cannot be filled to the letter. Where 
no instructions in this respect accompany the order, we shall feel at liberty to substitute other varieties as nearly similar 
as possible. If the selection of the varieties is left entirely to us, we shall endeavor to send only such sorts as are 
acknowledged to give general satisfaction.

6th. All trees and plants are carefully labeled, and securely packed in the best manner, for which a moderate 
charge sufficient to cover cost of material only, will be made; but no charge is made for the delivery of packages to the 
railroad or express offices at Niles. 
EXPRESS OR FREIGHT 
6th. Always state which way you want your order shipped and give explicit directions for marking packages. 
When it is left for us to choose the mode of conveyance, we will exercise our best judgment, but as all articles are

through the negligence of the transportation companies. i
