reference. We send invoice at time of shipment of order, and should any 
error he 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 
(lets, which are to go outside the city, by freight, unless otherwise requested. 
Medium sized orders can be shipped by express to advantage; this is espe¬ 
cially 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 promptly trace. 
PACKING. We make no charge for packing except where stock is purchased 
at hundred-rate prices or in ease of large bulky stock, or where we are request¬ 
ed to ship with carefully preserved balls of earth, etc., which necessitates de¬ 
voting 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. The Edgewood Avenue 
cars direct to the nursery from the,Railroad Station, and by transfer from 
transfer points. Parties autoing, driving or wheeling to the nursery will find 
West Chapel Street the best route, turning to the right at either Central or 
Alden Avenue. 
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 prep¬ 
aration on short notice without doing an injustice to others who have their 
orders previously hooked. 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 
jar in advance of shipping as you possibly can. stating when you would like 
stock sent.
