INSTRUCTIONS TO PURCHASERS 



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. No service on week- 

 ends, so plants must be shipped on Mon., 

 Tues., or Wed. Only 100 lbs. per day may 

 be delivered to any one customer. All 

 R.F.D. and P.O. Box addresses must include 

 name of street or road and nearest cross- 

 road. Charges comparable to parcel post 

 and paid in advance. 



Parcel Post (Mail): For shipment of less 

 than 5,000 plants and larger shipments in 

 nearby states. Postal charges are paid in 

 advance. Figure amount according to rate 

 scale and weight table on this page. We 

 strongly recommend "Special Handling" 

 to speed delivery. Additional charges are 

 25c up to 2 lbs.; 35c from 2 to 10 lbs.; 50c 

 from 10 to 40 lbs.; and 50c for each addi- 

 tional 40 lbs. 



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

 they require from 40<* to $1.00 additional 

 postage. Also delivery may be delayed for 

 two or more days. 



Air Express or Air Freight: For fastest de- 

 livery of larger shipments we strongly rec- 

 ommend 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 delivery 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. 



COLLECTIONS: A through N on pages 20 

 and 21 have Mail, Special Handling charges 

 paid by W. F. Allen Company. 



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- 

 dition must be made immediately on receipt 

 of plants as we cannot be resnonsible for 

 drought, floods, insects, etc. which may affect 

 the plants after their arrival, as these things 

 are entirely beyond our control.
