A. CURRIE & COMPANY 



GARDEN ANNUAL 



1917 



At no time in all the thirty-seven years since the founder of this business started selling Seeds, has there been 

 more perplexing problems to solve than those confronting us early this season. We are, however, happy to say at 

 this time that through persistent effort we are now in a position to serve our numerous customers as well as ever 

 before. 



GENERAL INFORMATION FOR CUSTOMERS: 



AVE GUiVRAXTEEl our Seeds to be thoroughly tested and 

 such as will produce good crops under favorable conditions. 

 Tluit all Seeds will be delivered in good condition to our 

 customers, by freight, express or parcel post. 



HOAV TO ORDER. Write your full name and address as 

 plainly as possible so as to avoid mistakes, and give full 

 shipping directions, stating whether wanted by parcel post. 

 e.Kpress or freight, giving the name ot the railway company 

 or express company. This often saves delay. 



AVE DEI^IA'ER all Flower and Vegetable Seeds either by 

 parcel post or express without extra charge at the prices 

 given in this Catalog, to any postoffice or station in the 

 t'nited States, except where otherwise stated. 



PURCHASERS PAY transportation on Seeds in quantities 

 over one pound, quarts, pecks, bushels, also on Farm Seeds, 

 Tools, Fertilizers, etc. 



PLANTS BA' EXPRESS are not delivered free. Small 

 plants are mailed free with the soil removed from the roots. 

 It is better, liowever, to have the soil left on the roots, espe- 

 ciallv the larger ones, and we advise shipping by express 

 when possible. 



In many eases the express charges on 10 lb. packages and 

 over will be found more economical than parcel post, besides 

 a receipt is given, making it safer to ship by express.
