STOKES SEED FARMS COMPANY +es+ MOORESTOWN, NEW JERSEY 



SUGGESTIONS FOR ORDERING 



Deliveries 



We try to fill all orders as soon as they are received, not 

 holding them any longer than forty-eight hours. Our 

 busiest season is during March and April when it is some- 

 times difficult to keep up with the orders which come in 

 every mail. These delays are frequently unavoidable and 

 customers are sometimes obliged to wait a week before 

 receiving their order. By placing your order with us early, 

 we can make deliveries promptly. You can aid us con- 

 siderably by sending the correct amount with your order, 

 by writing your name and address clearly and by not 

 asking us to handle C. 0. D. packages. 



Prices 



The prices in this catalog are postpaid whenever men- 

 tioned and are subject to revision upward or downward, par- 

 ticularly in the case of potatoes, field and grass seeds of all 

 kinds. On pages 97 and 98 a Market Gardeners' Wholesale 

 Price-list is added. These prices do not include delivery. 



Flower and vegetable seeds are as a rule mailed together. 

 Onion sets and potatoes are handled separately and mailed 

 alone. Field seeds, except in very small quantities are 

 shipped by express or freight, collect, the prices not 

 including postage. 



Canadian Shipments 



We send all vegetable and flower seed packets and 

 ounces postpaid. Larger quantities are shipped by express 

 or freight, the purchaser paying the charges. Parcel post 

 packages weighing under four pounds, six ounces, may be 

 sent in this way when a customer remits ten cents per 

 pound in addition to the price for seed. 



Safe Arrival 



As in the past we guarantee the safe arrival of all goods 

 sent by mail or express within the limits of the United 

 States. We will make replacements of goods damaged or 

 lost entirely as soon as we are notified. When making 

 claims for express or freight shipments received in bad 

 condition, the goods must be signed for at the freight or 

 express office as "received in bad condition" so that we 

 may make claim for them. 



Ordering 



Use order sheet facing page 1 and return envelope 

 enclosed in catalog wherever possible. Write your name 

 and address distinctly, printing wherever possible. Mis- 

 takes are avoided if the catalog number is entered in the 

 proper column. Please do not write inquiries on the 

 order-sheet, but use a separate piece of paper. This will 

 avoid delay in answering. 



Remittances 



Remittances may be made by money order or check. 

 Do not send loose coins in the envelope with your order, 

 as they are frequently lost. We cannot hold ourselves 

 responsible when this occurs. Postage stamps may be 

 used in remitting for amounts less than fifty cents. 



C. O. D. Shipments 



As it requires about twice as long to handle a C. 0. D. 

 shipment as a cash order and in addition entails extra 

 expense for collecting charges, we kindly request that 

 customers send cash with their order, or if this is not 

 convenient, remit at least twenty per cent, of the total 

 amount when the order is mailed us. 



Errors 



As it is necessary for us to employ some new workers 

 during our busy season, errors in filling orders occasionally 

 occur. We would kindly request our customers to notify 

 us at once where an error has been made so that we may 

 rectify it with the least amount of inconvenience. 



Guarantees 



Our business is governed by the policy that a satisfied 

 customer is our best advertisement. When anything goes 

 wrong with your seed, we are here to adjust the matter to 

 your satisfaction. This naturally means that no effort is 

 too great to have our goods just exactly as they are rep- 

 resented in our catalog. We would even guarantee you 

 good crops from our seed were this possible, but when you 

 remember that there are so many things beyond our con- 

 trol, such as insects, diseases, improper culture, planting 

 the wrong varieties, etc., it is not possible for us to do it. 

 However, if there is any way we can make your chances 

 of success greater, we should be glad to adopt it.
