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 trace. 
PACKING. We make no charge for packing excepting when stock is purchased 
at hundred-rate prices or in case of large bulky stock, or where we 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 cost 
is made.

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 nn 
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 pr ^ 
aration on short notice without doing an injustice to others who have me 
orders previously booked. In fairness to all, we have adopted the prac me 
filling orders in the rotation received, unless orders are received far en0 
ahead of the packing season, with instructions to ship at a given date, so ^ 
we can arrange a special shipping date. So we again say— place yow o> 
far in advance of shipping as you possibly can, stating when you won 
stock sent. , pnc j
