PETER HENDERSON & CO.. NEW YORK— MIDSUMMER CATALOGUE 



BUSINESS RULES, ETC. 



FREE DELIVERY FOR CERTAIN Q 

 STATES BY PARCEL POST OR EXPRESS 

 AND FLOWER SEEDS BY THE PACKET, 

 OUNCE, % POUND AND POUND. 



Purchasers pay transit charges on larger 

 quantities of seeds, and other merchandise, 

 unless otherwise provided. When goods are 

 wanted by Parcel Post add postage, for those 

 we do not deliver free (see Zone Rates on 

 this page.) 



For tools, and accessories, odorless fertil- 

 izers, insecticides and fungicides (fluids and 

 poisons excluded) — we have given the packed 

 Parcel Post weight so that extra for postage 

 must be remitted according to Zone distances. 

 In most instances the charge by freight and 

 express on greater weights will be found more 

 economical, hence we only give weights 

 up to 10 lbs. 



We make no charge for packing or cartage 

 of goods to any railroad station, steamship 

 line or express office in New York City. 



Cloth Bags only we charge for, and these 

 at cost, viz.: 1 peck, 15c. ; Yz bushel, 20c. 

 1 bushel, 25c.; 2 bushels, 45c. All Grass 

 Seed B.a.gs excepting bags for Timothy and 

 Clover, are furnished free. 



Accounts. — Parties having no account 

 with us — who order goods without remittance 

 — must furnish satisfactory reference. New 

 York City reference preferred on account of 

 the shorter delay pending investigation. 



Remittances may be made by Express 

 Money Order, P. O. Money Order or Bank 

 Draft; if stamps or cash send in a Registered 

 Letter. We must decline sending goods 

 C. O. D. unless 25% of their value accom- 

 panies the order. 



We Do Not Supply Dealers, therefore 

 our Seeds, etc., can only be procured by send- 

 ing orders direct to us. 



The Prices Quoted in this Catalogue 

 ARE Net — We offer no premiurr.s, discounts 

 nor gratuities. We reserve the right to ad- 

 vance prices without notice should current 

 conditions require it. 



Peter Henderson & Co. give no warranty 

 express or implied, as to description, quality 

 productiveness, or any other matter of any 

 Seeds, Bulbs or Roots they send out and they 

 will not be in any way responsible for the crop. 

 If the purchaser does not accept the goods on 

 these terms, they are at once to be returned.
