 out notice. 



If You .\re a Market Gardener raising garden truck for 

 Sale antl your annual purchases of bulk vegetable seeds 

 amount to considerable, you are entitled to Market Garden- 

 ers' prices which we will gladly quote you on request. Our 

 seed stocks are especially adapted to the market gardener's 

 use, as they are grown under the most careful supervision 

 from specially selected, pedigreed strains and are rigorously 

 tested for vitality. Their extremely high quality makes 

 profits certain. 



Me warrant Our SccdH to possess «itron*c vitality, but 

 owing to the many conditions under which failures may oc- 

 cur we cannot and do not guarantee crops. In conformity 

 with action taken many years ago by the American Seed 

 Trade Association, of which we are members, our goods are 

 sold under and subject to the following non-warranty clauNCi 

 Currie Bros. Co. give no warranty, e.xpress or implied, as to 

 description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of 

 any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, and we will not be 

 in any way responsible for the crop.

 deliver all Vegetable and Flower Seeds in packets, ounces, 

 Vt pounds and pounds, FREE to any postoflice in the United 

 States, Peas, Beans, Sweet Corn, Field Corn, Grass Seed and 

 Farm Seed offered on pages 37-40, except in packages, de- 

 livered at purchaser's expense; if wanted by mail, add to 

 prices quoted an amount sufficient to cover the postage at 

 Parcel Post rates. If in doubt as to the number of your'zone 

 with reference to Milwaukee, ask your postmaster. 



Purchasers of Seed in bulk (pecks, bushels, barrels, etc.. 

 Tools, Fertilizers, Insecticides, Shrubs, Plants, Bulbs, etc., 

 unless otherwise noted), will have their orders shipped by 

 freight or express at their expense. 



Keniittanoes should be made by Express Money Order, P. 

 O. Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter. Money 

 sent in any other manner is done entirely at sender's risk. 



Orders trom New Customers. — Persons unknown to us, to 

 avoid delay, should send remittance or satisfactory Milwau- 

 kee reference with their orders. We decline to ship C. O. D. 

 to unknown customers unless at least 25% (%) of the value 

 of the goods ordered is sent to guarantee acceptance. 



How to Order Seeds, Etc. — Purchasers will greatly oblige 

 us by writing out their orders on the sheets we enclose for 

 that "purpose with each Catalogue. Try to group your items 

 so that the various classes of seeds (vegetable, flower, farm, 

 etc.) will be listed together, plants will be together, bulbs 

 together, etc. These things greatly facilitate our work dur- 

 ing the rush period, and make quicker shipment possible. 



It is most iuiportaut that the full name and address be 

 given, and plainly -tvritten. Often w^e receive orders with 

 neither name nor address attached, and delays which we are 

 powerless to avoid occur in consequence. Full shipping di- 

 rections should be given us, stating distinctly whether large 

 quantities are to be sent by express or freight, otherwise we 

 must use our own judgment regarding the best route. Give 

 name of Express Company or Railroad running to your place 

 or Stage Route. 



Errors in filling orders, in spite of every precaution, will 

 sometimes creep in. As we will always gladly rectify such 

 errors, however, if they are brought to our attention in time, 

 customers should notify us promptly upon arrival of goods 

 of any mistakes that may be found. Keep a copy of your 

 order, so that such mistakes may the more readily be lo- 

 cated, or that it may be repeated correctly in case the orig- 

 inal fails to reach us. 



Testimonial from Customers. — We are always pleased to 

 hear from our customers regarding results and receive In 

 this way many unsolicited testimonials, which are much ap- 

 preciated. Photographs of gardens and particularly of in- 

 dividual vegetables and flowers sent to us are also very 

 much appreciated. 



CUT FLOWER DEPARTMENT. — We maintain a thor- 

 oughly up-to-date Flower Department, and our equipment 

 for filling orders for local and outside delivery Is unex- 

 celled. Telephone, telegraph and mail orders for Cut 

 Flowers, Wedding Bouquets, Funeral Bunches and Designs, 

 Wedding and Table Decorations, etc., are always given 

 prompt and careful attention. Masonic and other Society or 

 Secret Order floral emblems a specialty. Cut Flowers and 

 Designs shipped by express to any point within a reason- 

 able distance guaranteed to arrive fresh and in good condi- 

 tion. We are members of the F. T. D. (Florists' Telegraph 

 Delivery) and are, therefore, in a position to fill orders for 

 quick delivery in all the chief cities of this country and 

 (Canada with certainty and dispatch. 



On shipments weighing 20 pounds or more it is cheaper to ship 

 by express. As the express companies give a receipt for each 

 package, and are responsible, it amounts practically to insur- 

 ance without cost, whereas It costs extra, according to value, 

 to Insure a parcel post package. We guarantee the safe arrival 

 in the U. S. of all goods shipped by express.
