ANNUAL SPRING CATALOGUE 



OF 



Reliable Seeds, Bulbs, and Plants. 



QUALITY OUR FIRST CONSIDERATION. 



Index, page 128. 



Seeds Post-Paid by Mail. We send seeds free of postage to any part of the United States, at ounce or 

 packet prices. All heavy seeds, such as peas, beans, corn, clover, roots, tubers, etc., we do not send free, as such 

 are quoted at net prices at our store. If these are desired by mail, purchasers should remit an additional sum for 

 postage at the rate of eight cents per pound, ox fifteen cents per quart. 



Postage on Seeds to Canada. We send flower seeds at packet prices, free of postage, to any post- 

 office in Canada. On seeds by weight or measure, and Vegetable Seeds in packets, the postage is sixteen cents per 

 pound, which the purchaser should remit. 



Plants by Express. Plants are now carried by the leading express companies at a discount of twenty per 

 cent, from the regular merchandise rates. It is, therefore, much better to send them by express than by mail; better 

 specimens can usually be sent. 



Order Early. It is very important that you send your orders as early as possible on receipt of this catalogue. 

 We aim to ship all orders the same or next day after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible, 

 hence the importance of ordering early. 



Prices and Terms. The prices quoted are those ruling at this date, and are subject to fluctuation with- 

 out notice; they do not include transit except where so stated. Our terms of payment are net cash. 



. Quotations with samples will be cheerfully given for such variable articles as Grass and Clover Seeds. 



Liberal Premium on Seeds in Packets. When the order is accompanied by the money, purchasers of 

 seeds in packets at catalogue prices may select 25 cents' worth extra packets for each $1.00 sent. Thus, 

 any one enclosing $1.00 may order seeds in packets amounting to $1.25. Two dollars sent us with the 

 order will pay for seeds IN packets amounting to $2.50, and so on. This offer does NOT include seeds in collec- 

 tions, by weight or measure, bulbs, plants, or anything excepting seeds in packets. 



Seeds by Weight and Measure. Except where otherwise priced, one-fourth bushel will be sold at bushel 

 rates; one-half pound at pound rates. The smallest quantity of seeds we weigh is 10 cents' value, but ^-ctwX. packets 

 of almost all common varieties can be had. 



Bags and Packing. No charge for boxes or packing, nor for delivery to Freight Depots or Express Offices. 

 Two Bushel Cotton Bags only we charge for at 20 cents each, and if returned in good condition free of expense, 

 they will be credited as charged. 



Name and Address. We frequently receive orders without the name of the sender or with insufficient ad- 

 dress. Customers should be particular to give the full Name, Post-Office, County, and State, number of street 

 or P. O. Box, and the nearest Express Office. 



Gardeners and Farmers. Parties requiring the services of reliable men, married or single, should consult 

 with us, as we have the names of a number on our register, thoroughly experienced in every branch of the business. 

 We have the largest acquaintance among gardeners of any firm in New England, and it is seldom that any one 

 who applies to us fails of getting the right party. No fee. 



NON=WARRANTY. 



R. & J. Farquhar & Co. give no warranty, express or implied, 



as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of 



^ "W ^T 1 : rA any seeds, bulbs, or plants 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.
