An Exhaustive Treatise on What to Buy and How to Grow Flower and 



Vegetable Seeds. 



To 0^1^ Customers 



When to Order. 



We endeavor, when placing our Catalogue in' the hands of our regular customers, early in January, to have our stock of seeds, 

 etc., complete in every respect ; and those of our patrons who favor us with their orders at an early date are sure of receiving 

 prompt and careful attention, and assist us in reducing the heavy strain which always occurs as the season advances. 

 Order early and avoid delays. 



Dispatch of Orders. 



All orders will be promptly dispatched on their receipt, or a reason given for their non-fuliillment. Plant orders are sometimes 

 delayed by severe weather, and they at all times take longer to execute than orders for Seeds and Bulbs. 



Free by Mail. 



All Flower and Vegetable Seeds in packages, ounces and 3i' pounds, will be forwarded free by mail when so desired, at prices 

 quoted in this catalogue. When ordering Peas, Beans, Corn or Seeds at pound rates by mail, add as follows to cover cost of 

 mailing: Corn, 10 cts. per quart; Beans and Peas, 15 cts. per quart; all seeds at pound rate, 8 cts. per pound. 



Safe Delivery of Orders. 



We guarantee the safe delivery in good condition of orders in all eases. If a package is lost we will replace it as soon as informed 

 of th« fact. It sometimes happens that orders never reach us or are without a signature. When customers fail to receive their 

 goods in a reasonable time they should inform us and, at the same time, send a copy of their order. 



Remittances 



Remittances may be made at our risk, by Bank Draft, Post OflSce Money Order, Express Order, or Registered Letter. Small 

 amounts may be sent by ordinary mail, and postage stamps can always be used by us to advantage. 



Tested Seeds. 



We have always , made it a stringent rule that all seeds should be tested prior to shipment. We have hitherto found thii 

 method one of success, and have therefore been enabled to ensure greater confidence in our friends by so doing. 



We Guarantee. 



That all seeds sold by us shall prove to be as represented, to this extent, that should they prove otherwise we will replace them 

 or send other seeds to the same value. But we cannot guarantee the crop any further than the above oflfer, as there are so many 

 causes which operate unfavorably in the germination of seeds and maturity of the crop, over which we have no control. We can 

 only undertake, therefore, to use our utmost care and skill in this matter, and cannot warrant any article, nor undertake any 

 responsibility in case of failure or disappointment. 



If the purchaser does not want to accept the goods on these terms he must return them. 



Gardeners.
