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 insurance 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.

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

Currie Bros. Co. give no warranty, express 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.

ers’ prices, and we will gladly mail to you our 1920 Garden- 
er’s Catalogue on request. Our seed stocks are especially 
adapted to the market gardeners’ use, as they are grown 
under the most careful supervision from specially selected, 
pedigreed strains and are rigorously tested for vitality.

of the goods ordered is sent to guarantee acceptance.

ceived. 
How to Order Seeds, Ete.—Purchasers will greatly oblige 
us by writing out their orders on the sheets we enclose for 
that purpose with each Catalogue; it greatly facilitates our 
work. It is most important that the full name and address 
be given, and plainly written. Often we 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 mistake that may be found.
