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 

 n. S. of all goods shipped by express.

 Sale and your annual purchases of bulk vegetable seede 

 amount to considerable, you are entitled to Market Garden-

 from specially selected, pedigreed strains and are rigorously

 profits certain.

 owing to the many conditions under which failures may oc- 

 cur we cannot and do not guarantee crops. In conformity

 neither name nor address attached, and delays w^hlch we are 

 powerless to avoid occur in consequence. Fall shlpplnsr di- 

 rections should be given us, stating distinctly whether larce 

 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

 sometimes creep in. As we will always gladly rectify such 

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

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

 inal fails to reach us.

 hear from our customers regarding results and receive In 

 this way many unsolicited testimonials, which are much ap-
