 and complete. If you order by number, please be sure to give it 

 correctly. If number and name are both given, mistakes are less ] 



We 



will be prepared to fill your orders. Many 

 of you will want to order seeds, as well as seed 

 potatoes, bulbs, nursery^ or green-house stock, and delay sending in 

 your order until time to plant out in your locality, thereby causing us 

 to be in a great rush at the last moment. Send your entire order at 

 once; we will get your seeds off promptly, and if j^ou want all of your 

 order or any part of it held for later shipment, advise us just when you 

 wish the goods shipped; your stock will then be reserved for you and 

 you will receive it at the time you specify.

 we hold ourselves responsible for its safe arrival. Should you live on 

 a R. F. D. route, give the mail carrier your order and money; he will 

 purchase a money order for you and mail it to us. Where the above 

 methods are inconvenient, we will accept postage stamps.

 can in some instances save money by having them sent this way. Make
