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

 logiie. Write plainly; keep a copy of your order. Do not order C. 0. 1)., as it is 

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



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

 made at our risk by either of the following methods: (1) Postofflce 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 j nd will cost from three 

 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. 



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

 they must be clean and in good condition, but will not be responsible for sums of 

 One Dollar or over sent in this manner. 



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 Quart. 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 ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES.— We guarantee the safe arrival of packages of Seeds 

 and Bulbs in good condition in every case. If a package is injured 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 tilled at once, and save much delay. 



ERRORS. — We take the utmost care in filling 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. — It will greatly facilitate shipment if our customers would send in as 

 many orders as possible during the month of February, because our stock is then 

 complete and ready for mailing, and you will be sure to get what you send for; 

 and what is more important to you, the seeds will be at hand for planting just 

 when you want them. 



SOUTHERN ORDERSo— C'ustomers in the South, who in some cases need their Seeds 

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

 will have their orders carefully tilled at as low prices as are ruling at the time.
