fl NEW DEPARTMENT. 
Ah an accommodation to our custom¬ 
ers and in response to numerous inqui¬ 
ries, we have added a CUT FLOWER 
DEPARTMENT to our business. We will keep on hand in our New York 
stores fresh cut flowers, and are now prepared to execute all orders, large or 
small, on short notice. It will be our aim to have this department at the 
same high standard as our seed and plant departments, and wo will supply 
cut flowers for all purposes, either loose or made up in designs—baskets, 
bouquets and funeral emblems. Flowers for balls, weddings, churches, 
graduations, sick rooms, anniversaries, dinner table and house decoration, 
for friends departing on steamers; in short, appropriate flowers for all occa¬ 
sions may be had at our stores, ai#l we invite all patronage. 
fArrlorc hll Mail Owing to the fluctuations in values of cut flowers throughout 
Ul LUjI o ITU Midll# the season, it is impossible to give a list of prices in our annual 
Catalogue. We invite correspondence from parties out of town, who may want cut 
flowers, and will give estimates by return mail. In writing for prices please state for 
what purpose the flowers are wanted; as far as possible, the selection should be left to 
us, as we can almost invariably give greater value for the money than if we are limited 
strictly to purchaser’s choice. If the sum you wish to expend is sent to us, and we 
know the purpose for which the flowers are wanted, we can assure all who favor us with 
such orders tliut they will be treated liberally and get full market value for their money. 
Tolonranhir fArHppQ Orders by telegraph, from parties of approved credit, 
I oloyl u|Jllll> \J 1 Uul will receive prompt attention. Money can be sent by 
telegraph, and parties without mercantile rating are earnestly requested to send 
money with their message, to avoid delay. 
FrPP rVli\/f>ril AN orders amounting to $5.00 or over for cut flowers will bo 
II Ou Uull Vol U* delivered free by us at: any express office within fifty miles of our 
stores. We cannot express cut flowers collect on delivery. 
We guarantee safe arrival of cut flowers sent by express, when the time in 
transit (Joes not exceed two days. Mail orders for cut flowers should be marked 
on envelope , “Cut Flower Department,” to ensure immediate attention.
