Fagus Sylvatica Asplenifolia, Fern-Leaved Beech.—See page 15. Directions to Correspondents. TELEPHONE.—We have telephone connections, and can also be reached over the Long Distance Telephone. PRICES.—The prices contained herein are the lowest we offer. Five or fifty plants of any one sort sold at the ten or hundred rates 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 sufficient 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 remem- bered that freights are very slow, and ample time must be allowed us in shipping goods in this way. CASH WITH ORDER.—Customers who have not dealt with us here- tofore 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. REfllTTANCES should be made by Post Office Money Order, payable at " Station G," Philadelphia, or by drafts or checks on Phila- delphia 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 before the first of April. Every attention, however, will be accorded those send- ing their orders after that time. SHIPPING SEASON.—We usually commence shipping about the 15th of March,—the season rarely closes before the 10th or 15th of May. 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 Germantown Avenue electric cars come within three squares of our nurseries. Leave cars at Church Street (Pelham) Germantown.
