HOW TO ORDER.— Always use the order sheet and printed envelope, sent with each 

 Catalogue. Write plainly, keep a copy of your order. Do not order C. 0. D, as 

 it is unnecessary expense to customers, as cost oi collecting is added to all bills. 



REMITTING MONEY.— Cash should always accompany the order. Remittances may be 

 made at our risk by either of the following methods : (1st) Postoffice Money 

 Orders, (2) Express Co. 's Money Orders, (3) Draft on New York or Chicago, (4), 

 Registered Letters. Money sent by either method is absolutely safe and will cost 

 from five to fifteen cents. We will bear the expense of sending money in either 

 of these ways, and customers may select additional seeds free, to the amount of 

 the cost of remittance. 



POSTAL NOTES and stamps can be used in remitting small amounts, but will not be 

 responsible for sums of One Dollar, or over sent in this manner. 



STAMPS received same as cash for small orders, or when notes are not obtainable, and 

 they must be clean and in good condition. 



POSTAGE PAID.— We deliver free to any Postoffice, or Express Office in the United 

 States, all seeds quoted by the Packet, Pound, Ounce, Pint or (^uart. Seeds 

 offered by the Peck, Bushel, or in 5, 10 or 100 lb. lots, purchasers have to pay 

 Express or Freight charges. 



SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS.— When goods are to be shipped by Freight or Express, 

 give plain shipping directions ; otherwise we use our best judgment in regard to 

 the matter. 



NAME AND ADDRESS.— In sending an order please be particular in giving Name, Post- 

 office, County and State, in full distinctly written. We are often in receipt of 

 orders from customers who not only forget to sign their names, but also their 

 place of residence, thus causing a delay of weeks in the execution of their orders. 

 Write your orders legibly, separate from the body of the letter. 



SAFE ARRIYAL OF PACKAGES.— We guarantee the safe arrival of^kages of Seeds 

 and Bulbs in good condition in every case. If a package is iujur^ or lost we will 

 replace it as soon as informed of the fact. Sometimes it happens that orders 

 never reach us. When customers fail to receive their Seeds or Bulbs in a reason- 

 able time, they should inform us, and at the same time send a duplicate copy of 

 their order, which can be filled at once, and save much delay.. 



ERRORS.— We take the utmost care in tilling orders, striving to do a little more for our 

 friends and patrons than we offer, yet in the press of business mistakes will some- 

 times occur, in which event we wish to be promptly notified of the fact, and will 

 make such corrections as will be perfectly satisfactory. Please keep copies of all 

 your orders for comparison. 



CHANGE OF ADDRESS.— If you have changed, or intend to change your address, 

 please let us know, so that we may change it on our books. 



ORDER EARLY.— Please order as soon after you get this Catalogue as possible, because 

 our stock will be complete, and you will be sure to get what you send for ; and 

 what is of more importance to you, the seeds will be at hand for planting just 

 when you want them. 



SOUTHERN ORDERS.— Customers in the South, who in some cases need their Seeds 

 before our new Catalogue is out, can always order from old Catalogue, and will 

 have their orders carefully filled and at as low prices as are ruling at that time. 



ADDRESS all correspondence, and make all P. 0. and Express Money Orders payable to 



Pella, Iowa.
