Remarks to Purchasers 



READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 



Name and Address. Write your Name, Post Office, County and State 



as distinctly as possible. Some orders reach us which give neither name nor 

 location. In such cases it is impossible for us to fill orders until we again 

 hear from the senders. 



Use the Order Sheet. Make out your list of requirements consecutively 

 in the order as given in the Catalogue, placing the quantity wanted before 

 the article, and the price of the same in the column to the right; and always 

 keep a copy of your orders. 



Correspondence should not be intermingled with the body of the order, 

 but written either at the bottom of the Order Sheet or on a separate sheet 

 of paper. 



Remittances. The safest method of sending money is by Post-Office 



Orders. Where they are not obtainable, it can be sent by Express Money 

 Orders, Registered Letter, or Draft on New York. For small amounts, postage 

 stamps will be acceptable. 



When the Remittance is not sufficient to pay for the quantity of seeds 

 ordered, we will reduce the quantity to correspond with the remittance. 



Errors. All possible precautions are taken to avoid their occurrence. 

 Notify us at once if your order is not properly filled, and we will promptly 

 make the necessary corrections. 

 Substitutions. As the season advances some stocks of seeds are exhausted, so it is advisable when late orders 

 are sent to name a few substitutes. We make substitution only when requested to do so, sending varieties that 

 will as fully cover the indicated wants as our stock will permit. If not so instructed, the remittance will be re- 

 funded. 



Send us Your Order as Early as Possible. It will facilitate its prompt execution, and you will have your 

 seed when you are ready to plant. 



Parcel Post. Seeds and bulbs can now be sent by parcel post at the same rates as general merchandise. 

 See inclosed table of parcel-post rates for all zones. 



Seeds by Express. Seeds can now be forwarded at 20 per cent less than merchandise rates; a saving to the 

 buyer of one-fifth over previous rates. 



Shipments by Freight. Seeds in bulk, implements and other heavy goods are shipped by freight, and unless 

 there is a freight agent at point of destination, the freight must be prepaid, the purchaser advancing the same, 

 unless otherwise arranged. Our facilities for shipping to points south of Pittsburgh on the Ohio River and connect- 

 ing streams are excellent, steamers plying daily between this and southern points. 



Catalogues are sent free to all our customers of the past year. Should any change their place of residence, 

 we desire to be informed, that we may correct the address in our Catalogue list. Our local customers, who pur- 

 chase over our counters, will please give their correct address when making their first annual purchase; this will 

 insure their receiving Catalogues the following year by mail. Many of our patrons who desire our Catalogues 

 fail to receive them because their post-office address is unknown to us. 



Non- Warranty. We do not warrant in any way, expressed or implied, the contents or description, quality, 

 productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants sold by us, and we will not be in any way re- 

 sponsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept goods on the above terms, no sale is made thereof, and 

 he must return them at once and money will be refunded. We make all sales, at the prices quoted in this Cata- 

 logue, subject to the above conditions.
