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 sired 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. Tf 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 we are requested to 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 actual cost is made. 
ORDER EARLY. Do not wait until you are ready to plant before ordering, 
but place your order as far in advance as possible. We will hold such oideis 
subject to further directions is requested The actual shipping season is so 
short that much is gained both to the planter and the nurseryman when 
orders are booked as far in advance as possible of the actual shipping season.
