CURRIE BROTHERS: 
SPRING NUMBER, 1902. 
As heretofore our Guide contains this year a very complete list of 
all the good things for the Farm and Garden all of which have been 
tried and found entirely reliable, each and every article being a valu- 
able acquisition in its own way. All oldvarieties that have been su- 
perseded by newer and improved sorts have been discarded, and only 
those of genuine merit retained. Not only does this Guide give a list 
of the BEST SEEBS GROWN, but it also furnishes directions for 
the successful cultivation of almost all crops, which may be followed 
with confidence. A few changes in the time of sowing and planting, 
necessitated by peculiar climatic conditions, being left, of course, to 
the good judgment of the cultivator. In the case of flower seeds, 
partly to economize space, but particularly to make it more conven- 
ient for the gardener, we give instructions on each seed packet. 
TESTED SEEDS—Onur seeds are ali tested, a precautien- 
ary measure of great value to our customers and to our- 
selves, and none are allowed to leave our establishment until we are 
satisfied that they are absolutely of the best quality, possess the great- 
est possible vitality and are certain to grow under favorable conditions. 
That under favorable conditions they do grow and give entire satis- 
faction, is fully testified to by the many flattering testimonials we an- 
nually receive from our customers. We, however, 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 crep. If the purchaser does not 
accept the goods on these terms they are at once to be returned. 
FARM SEEDS—We make a specialty of the handling of clean 
and reliableseeds. On our pages 30 to 41 will be found a complete 
list of Cereals, Grasses, Clovers, and other forage plants of great 
value to the farmer. 
WE GUARANTEE THE SAFE ARRIVAL OF SEEDS—iIn 
the event of the arrival of packages in bad condition, notice shouid be 
sent us at once and we will cheerfully replace the same free of charge. 
When customers do not receive their goods in a reasonable time, they 
should inform us and at the same time serd a copy of their order, so 
we can trace order. 
LOW PRICES—We grow and handle seeds in large quantities. 
Our business, both wholesale and retail, 7s ever and rapidly on the in- 
crease. And our facilities for handling seeds, receiving and filling orders, 
packing and shipping are being improved, where possible. Withall of 
these advantages we are enabled to make very low prices. We are con- 
fident they compare favorably with those of any reliable seedman in 
the United States. Gur moito is first-class goods at reasona- 
ble prices.

Instructions to Customers. 
ORDERS FROM NEW CUSTOMERS —Persons unknown to 
us, to avoid delay, will please send a remittance, or satisfactory city 
reference with their orders. We decline to ship C. O. D. to un- 
known customers unless sufficient money is sent to guarantee accept- 
ance.

in the following manner: P. O. Money Order, Bank Draft on New 
York, Chicago or Milwaukee, Express Money Order or Registered 
Letter. Money sent inany other way than as specified above, is em= 
tirely at the risk of the sender. We accept Postage Stamps for 
small amounts, same as cash. 
WHEN TO ORDER SEEDS—Order early, is our invariable 
advice to customers. We plan to have our catalogue reach them at 
what we believe to be a proper time to give seed orders consider- 
ation. To avoid a rush and perhaps delays in the very busy 
months of spring near seed-time, it is a great convenience to ourselvs, 
and very oftenan advantage to purchasers, if orders are sent to us early 
if the goods are not wanted immediately, we will get them ready and 
ship at any date desired. 
N. B.—We fill all orders in the rotation in which they are received. 
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; it greatly facilitates our work. [ft is 
most important that the full mame and eddress be given, 
and plainly writtem. Often-we receive orders with neither name 
nor address attached, and delays which we are powerless to avoid oc- 
cur in consequence. 
ing 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 Co. or Railroad running to your place, 
or Stage Route. 
A WORD TO CORRESPONDENTS—A great many letters 
are received by us throughout the year asking for information on 
horticultural subjects, all of which we are most happy to answer, 
the subject in question, if it so demands, being most carefully con- 
sidered by us, and our reply given to the best of our ability. To fa- 
cilitate this work, and avoid confusion and errors, we will he greatly 
obliged if our correspondents will kindly write such letters on a sheet 
of paper separate from that containing an order.
