We have frequent letters of inquiry similar to the following: "In your sets of ten grape vines for one dollar, please let me know what varieties you send, also in your sets of 25 raspberry plants for $1.00 what varieties do you send?" In reply to all such inquiries we would say that we are only enabled to offer such large numbers for a dollar by retaining the privilege of selecting the varieites when we fill the order, and this excludes the possibility of naming in advance of filling the orders, what varieties will be used. But all sets will be filled with good sorts. In sets where the varieties are named, those of course will be sent.

The following PREMIUMS apply to the list of Fruit Trees, Grape Vines, Small Fruits, Evergreens and Deciduous Trees, &c., only. DO NOT GET THIS MIXED WITH FLOWER PLANTS AND BULBS OR ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT. They commence with Apples and end with Deciduous Trees.

It will be apparent that as we have to prepay all mail matter, we cannot afford to allow as large premiums when plants are to be sent by mail, as we can when sent by express, the purchaser paying the express charges on receipt of the plants. But as an inducement to persons to present the matter to neighbors and solicit club orders, we offer the following liberal premiums, enabling those who have not the money to spare, to procure an assortment of plants by spending a few hours time.

MAIL CLUBBING RATES:
Persons sending $2.00 may select plants valued at $2.20; $4.00, $4.50; $6.00, $7.00; $8.00, $9.50; $10.00, $12.00; $15.00, $18.50; $20.00, $25.00.
And for all amounts remitted above $20.00, 25 per cent. may be added to the order.
