FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL 



1919 



IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO CUSTOMERS. 



The rapidly increasing- demand for our seeds and the phenominal success of our business is mainly due to the unstinted 

 care taken in the selection of our stocks, and the precaution to supply our customer with seeds that insure profitable crops. 



While we made mere elaborate plans than usual for this years supply of seeds, for various reasons crops of some sorts 

 are far below our requirements; we, therefore, urge buyers to place their orders as early as possible. 



GENERAL INFORMATION. 



WE GUARANTEE our Seeds to be thoroughly tested and 

 such as will produce good crops under favorable conditions. 

 That all Seeds will be delivered in good condition to our 

 customers, bv freight, express or parcel post. 



We offer no catch-penny packets of seeds; all our packets 

 are put up full size, and filled with the same high gTade 

 seeds we sell to market gardeners. 



HOW TO ORDER. Write your full name and addres? as 

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

 shipping directions, stating whether wanted by parcel post, 

 express or freight, giving the name of the railway company 

 or express company. This often saves delay. 



WE DELIVER 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 

 United States, except where otherwise stated. 



SHIPPING WEIGHT OF BEANS, PEAS AND CORN, ONE 

 POUND PER PINT. 



In many cases 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.

PURCHASERS PAY transportation on Seeds in quantities 

 over one pound, also on Tools, Fertilizers, etc. 



PLANTS BV EXPRESS are not delivered free. Small 

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

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

 cially the larger ones, and we advise shipping by express 

 when possible. 



PREPAID STATIONS. Where there is no agent at the 

 railroad station freight must be prepaid, and customers are 

 requested to send enough money to cover the expense on 

 bulk shipments. 



NO CHARGE is made for packing except for 2 bushel 

 seamless bags at 70 cents each, and all goods are delivered 

 free of charge to freight depots and express offices in Mil- 

 waukee. 



HOW TO SEND MONEY. Postoffice orders, express orders, 

 bank drafts or cash in registered letter may be sent at our 

 risk. Clean one and two cent postage stamps will be ac- 

 cepted for small amounts, same as cash. 



NON-GUARANTEE. While we warrant all our Seeds to 

 grow and produce good crops under favorable conditions, and 

 great care is taken in filling orders, we give no warranty, 

 express or implied, as to the description, quality, productive- 

 ness or any other matter of Seeds. Bulbs, etc., we sell, nor 

 will we be responsible for the crops. 



The purchaser must, therefore, accept goods ordered from 

 us on these terms, or no sale is made.
