TERMS: Cash with order. Remit by money 



order, bank draft, or cash in registered letter. 



No. C.O.D. shipments without part payment. 



WHEN TO ORDER— HOW TO SHIP 



Order as soon as you have decided what 

 varieties and how many you want. Plants will 

 be reserved for you. Indicate on the order 

 sheet the approximate date you want the 

 plants shipped to you. See paragraph on 

 page 24, "When Should Plants Be Set?" 

 Write plainly so that we can get your name 

 and address correctly for prompt acknowl- 

 edgement of order and delivery of plants. 

 United Parcel Service: Two day delivery in 

 Conn.. Del., D.C., Md., Mass., N.J., N.Y., Pa., 

 R.I., Va. and W. Va. Charges are comparable 

 to parcel post and are paid in advance. All 

 R.F.D. and Post Office box addresses must 

 include name of street or road and nearest 

 crossroad in rural areas. 



Parcel Post: For shipment of less than 5,000 

 plants and larger shipments in nearby states. 

 "Special Handling" will speed delivery; addi- 

 tional charges ore 25^ up to 2 lbs.; 35^ from 

 2 to 10 lbs.; 50<f from 10 to 40 lbs.; SO^' for each 

 additional 40 lbs. Postal charges are paid in 

 advance. Figure amount according to rate 

 scale and weight table on page 27 of the 

 catalog 



Air Parcel Post: For quick delivery of ship- 

 ments under 5 pounds; consult the Air Parcel 

 Post chart on page 27 of the catalog. 

 Air Express or Air Freight: For fastest de- 

 livery of larger shipments we strongly recom- 

 mend that you call your nearest airport for 

 Air Express or Air Freight charges. In many 

 cases the cost is very little more than regular 

 express and you may find the speed of de- 

 livery well worth the higher cost. Shipping 

 charges are paid when plants are received. 

 Express: Generally satisfactory if your order 

 is large and the distance is great. Charges 

 are paid when plants are received. 



We do not advise C.O.D. shipments as 

 they require from 40«* to $1.00 additional post- 

 age. Also delivery may be delayed for two or 

 more days. 



COLLECTIONS: A through N on pages 20 and 

 21 have transportation charges paid by W. F.

OUR GUARANTEE: We guarantee all plants 

 ordered shipped before May 15 to reach you 

 in good condition. If they are found to be 

 otherwise notify us immediately so that we 

 can refill your order. Any claim for poor con-

 drought, floods, insects, etc. which may affect 

 the plants after their arrival, as these things 

 are entirely beyond our control.
