1917 CHOICE FLOWER AND VEGETABLE SEEDS 1917 



MY THREE WARRANTS 



1. I Warrant Your Remittance to Reach 

 Me if sent by either postoffice or express money 

 order, bank draft or registered letter, but by no 

 other method. You may select extra flower seeds 

 in packets to the amount of the cost of sending 

 money by any one of these methods. If you 

 remit by stamps or silver, it will be at your risk. 

 If stamps are sent use one or two cent stamps, and 

 do not stick them to your letter. In remitting 

 bv stamps, add 2c for anything less than 50c and 

 4c for $1.00 or over. 



It is comparatively safe to send small amounts of 

 silver, but it should be sewed between pieces of 

 blotting paper or cloth. 



TEN CCNTS MUST BE ADDED TO 

 PERSONAL CHECKS 



2. I Warrant My Seeds to Reach You, pro- 

 vided I receive your order. If you do not receive 

 them promptly, please notify me not later than 

 two weeks after the date you sent order, and gi^e 

 date and enclose duplicate, of which you should 

 always retain a copv. You should receive your 

 seeds within two or three days of the actual time 

 it takes the mail to come and go between the two 

 points, as I aim to fill all orders within 24 hours 

 of their receipt, except plant and btdb orders. 

 See Bulb and Plant pages in regard to these de- 

 liveries. 



3. I Warrant My Seeds to be Good. 



No one can promise that seeds will grow, nor 

 do I, as so much depends on conditions. I know- 

 by actual testing that my seeds are good, and if 

 any failed to grow for you last year and you 

 think that the failure is due to lack of vitality in 

 seeds and not to some other cause, you may feel 

 pt liberty when placing your order with me this 

 year to include such varieties. Seeds of Green- 

 house Plants, which generally require special 

 care, are excepted from this offer to replace. A 

 new order should accompany application for 

 seed to be replaced, and please refer to date or 

 number of last spring's order in which it was 

 included. 



Promptness is My Motto 



Try me. If you do not get your seeds it is from 

 one of the following reasons: 



Why You Do Not Receive Your Seeds 



a. No address, given. I receive many orders 

 without signature or postoffice. Be sure to sign 

 your name and give name of office. 



b. Insufficient address. If there is mail 

 delivery do not fail to give street or rural delivery 

 number. 



c. Indistinct writing. Take special pains to 

 write name and postoffice distinctly. 



d. No title given. Ladies should always 

 give title, Miss or Mrs., especially if initials only 

 are signed. 



e. Fault in Postal Service. Sometimes letters 

 fail to reach me, and sometimes packages, even 

 when properly addressed, are lost or miscarried 

 in the mails.
