LARGE-SIZED PACKETS 



Customers frequently write us that our packets 

 -contain twice as much seed as those obtained from 

 other houses ; yet, notwithstanding our very 

 iiberal premiums on seeds in packets and ounces, 

 as announced on other side of page, we shall still 

 continue to put up, with our standard gauges, the 

 same liberaNsized packets. 



When possible, use order sheet opposite page

SEEDS BY MAIL 



The Rural Free Delivery Mail Carrier here 

 illustrated, and thousands like him all over this 

 whole country, bring our seed-store with its com- 

 plete equipment right before every farmer's door. 

 No branch of our great Government has ever been 

 established that has been so instantly popular and 

 serviceable to the farming communities all over the 

 land as this Rural Free Delivery Service. Their 

 daily calls keep the farmer in touch with the out- 

 side world in a manner which was unknown before. 



We would again caution our customers to be 

 very careful in writing their orders. Be sure 

 always to write the name and address before fill- 

 ing in the order, as nearly all the cases of com- 

 plaint that we have during the season arise from 

 insufficient address or from the name Oeing so care- 

 lessly written that it is impossible to properly 

 decipher it. 



Cash should always accompany the order. 



We will be responsible for money sent by Post- 

 Office Order, Express Money Order, Bank Draft, 

 Express or by Registered Letter. 



Post=OfHce Orders cost, for any amount up to 

 $2.50, 3 cents; over $2.50 and not exceeding $5, 5 cents; 

 over $5 to $10, 8 cents ; over $10 to $20, 10 cents; 

 over $20 to $30, 12 cents ; over $.30 to $40, 15 cents ; 

 over $40 to $50, 18 cents ; over $50 to $60, 20 cents.

 companies at their agencies, and cost, for amounts 

 not over $5, 5 cents ; $10, 8 cents ; $20, 10 cents ; 

 $30, 12 cents ; $40, 15 cents.

MOST LIBERAL PREMIUMS 



25 CENTS' WORTH OF SEEDS EXTRA 



IS ALLOWED ON EACH ONE DOLLAR SENT 

 US FOR SEEDS IN PACKETS AND OUNCES. 

 Thus, any one sending us $1.00 can select seeds 

 in packets and ounces to the value of $1.25; for 

 $2.00, to the value of $2.50 ; for $3.00, to the value 

 of $3.75 ; for $4.00, seeds in packets and ounces to 

 the value of $5.00, and so on ; or in other words we 

 give you a discount of twenty per cent, on our 

 prices by the PACKET and OUNCE. To illus- 

 trate — should an order amounting to $3.00 contain 

 $2.00 worth of seeds in packets and ounces, you 

 are entitled to deduct twenty per cent, or one- 

 fifth on these, which would be 40 cents, and you 

 would therefore send us $2.60 net ; while should 

 the entire order be composed of packets and 

 ounces, you would deduct 60 cents, remitting only 

 $2.40 net.
