OUR CATALOGUE FOR 1917 



GENERAL INFORMATION 



How to Send Money — Remittances should be made either in the form of an Express Money Order, P. O. Money Order, 

 Bank Draft or Registered Letter, lc and 2c stamps will be accepted for small amounts, provided they are carefully 

 wrapped, so as to prevent sticking. 



Be Sure to Give Full Name and Address with each order. Every season we get a number of orders without name of 

 sender or Post Office, and the postmark on the envelope is often too obscure to be made out. There is no way of finding 

 out who the senders are: consequently we are blamed, whereas the fault is their own entirely. We therefore, beg our cor- 

 respondents to write their full name and address on each order. 



We prefer written orders, but when orders are given by telephone, they are accepted as understood, and at the risk 

 ot the purchaser, in case of misunderstanding in transmitting telephone orders. 



Seeds by Mail — Since our last catalogue was printed, all Seeds, Bulbs, and Plants have been admitted to the Parcel 

 Post rate of postage, and are now mailable at the same rate of postage as other merchandise. For full information and 

 Parcel Post rates, see table below. Remember, however, that we pay the postage on all packets, ounces and one-quarter 

 ! ounds at the price quoted in this catalogue. 



Seeds by Express — Express rates have also been materially reduced since issuing our last catalogue, and on the average, 

 express rates are now lower than Parcel Post rates to points beyond the third Zone, and when practical, we would advise 

 customers to cider goods shipped by Express, as it is far more satisfactory, quicker and safer. Goods ordered C. O. D. 

 by Express must have 25 per cent, of the amount accompany the order. We do not make shipments by Freight C. O. T). to 

 points where there is no bank.

We appreciate the 

 ing all the time. We 



Seeds, Bulbs and Plants have been admitted to the Parcel Post 

 rate of postage, and are now carried at the same rate as other mer- 

 chandise, with the exception that packages weighing up to 8 ounces 

 are carried at the rate of lc for each 2 ounces, regardless of distance. 

 Remember, however, that prices quoted in this catalogue on packets, 

 ounces and one-quarter pounds are postpaid, but when larger quan- 

 tities are ordered sent by mail, add the required postage as per rate 

 table to the left. When pounds are ordered, remit postage for 2 pounds; 

 when 2 pounds are ordered, remit postage for 3 pounds; and so on, 

 as the wrapping of the packages will make it run over the actual 

 weight ordered. When figuring the amount of postage, if in doubt 

 as to the exact amount required, remit even more than you think 

 necessary, and we will return the amount not needed, as we cannot 

 . > ml packages postage collect, nor charge on our books small amounts 

 due for postage stamps. When ordering pints, remit for postage on 

 1 pound mailing weight, and for quarts remit for 2 pounds mailing 

 weight.

 your oust master. The freight limit in the first and second Zones is 50 

 pounds; all other zones. 20 pounds.
