Purchasers pay transit charges on larger 

 quantities of seeds, and other merchandise,

 wanted by Parcel Post add postage, for those 

 we do not deliver free (see Zone Rates on 

 this page.) 



For tools, and accessories, odorless fertil- 

 izers, insecticides and fungicides (fluids and 

 poisons excluded) — we have given the packed 

 Parcel Post weight so that extra for postage 

 must be remitted according to Zone distances. 

 In most instances the charge by freight and 

 express on greater weights will be found more 

 economical, hence we only give weights 

 up to 10 lbs. 



We make no charge for packing or cartage 

 of goods to any railroad station, steamship 

 line or express office in New York City. 



We Make No Charge for Packing, ex- 

 cept special for foreign shipments, as tin- 

 lined cases, double sacks, etc., then we charge 

 cost. Cloth bags we charge for, viz.: Yi peck, 

 15c, 1 peck, 25c; M bushel, 35c; 1 bushel, 

 45c; 2 bushels, 70c Burlap bags, 1 peck,

 els, 90c. No charge for bags with lawn grass 

 mixtures. 



Accounts. — Parties having no account 

 with us — who order goods without remittance 

 — must furnish satisfactory reference. New 

 York City reference preferred on account of 

 the shorter delay pending investigation. 



Remittances may be made by Express 

 Money Order, P. O. Money Order or Bank 

 Draft; if stamps or cash send in a Registered 

 Letter. We must decline sending goods 

 C. O. D. unless 25% of their value accom- 

 panies the order.

 our Seeds, etc., can only be procured by send- 

 ing orders direct to us. 



The Prices Quoted in this Catalogue 

 are Net — We offer no premiums, discounts 

 nor gratuities. .We reserve the right to ad- 

 vance prices without notice should current
