IT'S THE SEED THAT GROWS THAT MAKES THE CROP 



You Want Prompt Delivery 



So Help Us Give It by Following these Directions 



in Ordering 



ORDER EARLY. It will be greatly to your 

 advantage to send us your orders as soon as you 

 have had the time to make your selection. This 

 assures you prompt shipments from our complete 

 stocks and avoids any possible delays incident to 

 the "Rush Season." 



IN ORDERING follow catalog prices. They in- 

 clude prepayment of postage on all seeds ordered 

 by packet, ounce, quarter-pound, pound and five- 

 pound lots, unless otherwise specifically stated. 

 If the order is to be sent by express or freight, 

 deduct five cents per pound from prices given. 

 Larger quantities than five pounds will be sent 

 by express or freight, the customer paying such 

 charges. To figure the cost of postage on flower- 

 ing plants and trees, add 15 per cent to the list 

 price. 



THE POSTAGE TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES 



must be added to the cost of the goods selected 

 in this catalogue, or the order will be reduced to 

 allow for the postage. These rules will also ap- 

 ply to orders from the United States where no 

 postage allowance is made for mailing, or we will 

 send by express.

 such shipments. 



OUR TERMS. Cash with order. Remittances 

 can be made in the following manner: By Post 

 Office Money Orders, Express Money Orders, 

 Checks, or Drafts on New Orleans or New York. 

 Where it is not possible to secure these, Currency 

 or U. S. Postage Stamps in good order will be 

 accepted. If you send a check on a Country 

 Bank, add 10c EXTRA FOR EXCHANGE. All 

 letters containing currency or stamps should be 

 registered to insure safe delivery. WHEN GOODS

WHEN ORDERING, write your name plainly, 

 give correct P. O. address if by mail; if by ex- 

 press, give your express office or nearest express 

 office, to avoid any delay, if by rail or boat, give 

 station or landing, and if possible the name of 

 the railroad or name of boat. Where no instruc- 

 tions are given as to how shipments should be 

 made, we will use our own discretion; but we urge 

 all customers to state plainly whether they want 

 goods mailed, expressed or shipped by boat or 

 by rail. As all shipments by boat must be pre- 

 paid, customers not known to us must remit 

 enough to cover freight. 



NON-WARRANTY. The J. Steckler Seed Co., 

 Ltd., gives no warranty, express or implied, as 

 to description, quality, productiveness, or any 

 other matter of any seeds (bulbs, or plants), it 

 sells and will not be responsible for the crop. 



We have discontinued the 5 cent packages 

 altogether on flower and vegetable seeds, 

 because the quantity in a 5 cent package 

 does not give enough seed to be of any bene- 

 fit. Prices on packet seeds, except where 

 noted, will be 10 cents per packet; 3 packets, 

 25c; $1.00 per dozen, postpaid.
