Platanus Orientalis, Oriental Plane. Bed of Evergreens at Horticultural Hall, Fairmount Park, Phila, TELEPHONE.—Our ofiBce is connected with the Local and Long Distance Tei,Ephone. PRICES.—The prices contained herein are the lowest we offer. Five or twenty-five plants of any one sort sold at the ten or hundred rate respectively. When more than two hundred and fifty plants of any one sort are required, a special rate may be had on inquiry. STOCK SELECTED by customers, at the Nurseries, will be charged for at advanced rates, according to the value of the trees chosen. BOXES AND PACKING will be charged for ; but only a sufiicient sum to cover the cost of time and material consumed. Our packing is done in the very best manner, and by our method large trees can be shipped in bales to long distances in perfect safety. We advise boxes, however, whenever possible. When no packing directions accompany the order, we use our own judgment in the matter. SHIPPING.—For small orders, shipment by Express is preferable—but for long distances freight is quite as good. It must be remembered that freights are very slow, and ample time must be allowed us when shipping goods in this way. CASH WITH ORDER.—Customers who have not dealt with us heretofore should send cash with order,—old customers can, if they wish, remit on receipt of goods and invoice. All accounts are due, net cash, as soon as goods are delivered. REMITTANCES should be made by Post Office Money Order, payable at Station " G," Philadelphia, or by drafts or checks on Philadelphia or New York banks, or by registered letter. Postage Stamps accepted for small amounts. ORDER EARLY.—Much time can be saved in the shipping season if customers would prepare and forward their orders for Fall before the first of October, and for Spring, before the first of April. Every attention, however, will be accorded those sending their orders after that time. SHIPPING SEASON.—In the Fall we usually commence shipping about the 15th of September, continuing until December ist, to the 15th, and in Spring, about the 15th of March, the season rarely closing until the loth or 15th of May. Orders for the South cau be shipped at intervals, all winter. VISITORS are cordially invited to inspect our stock. They should take the train at Twelfth and Market Streets, getting off at Walnut Lane Station; or at Broad and Market Streets, for Carpenter Station. Cabs can be had at either station if desired. The Eighth Street and Germantowu Avenue electric cars come within three squares of our nurseries. Leave cars at Church vStreet (Pelhaui) Germantown.
