 lv[o Plants or Live Stock sent C. O. D. 

 by Express. 



On the receipt of $1.00 we will mail fifteen 

 large size papers of seeds, put up the 

 same as seeds sold by the pound. 

 These papers can be selected from this 

 catalogue. Or, for the same ' amount, 

 we will mail 24 smaller papers. This 

 is done to enable customers to get re- 

 liable seeds in good size papers ' in 

 places where our seeds are not sold. 



Correspondents in foreigrn countries should 

 add a sufficient amount for postage at 

 the rate of 12 cents per pound. 

 Canada postage is 16 cents per pound. 

 Seeds sent in sealed tin cans for the 

 tropics cannot be sent by mail unless 

 full letter postage, 50 cents per pound, 

 is paid; they may, however, be sent by 

 express, if such companies have offices 

 there. 



Our system of conducting- business is to 



give satisfaction to our customers,' 

 which we always guarantee. 



When ordering- write your name plainly, 

 give correct P. O. address if by mail, 

 if by express give your express office 

 or nearest express, to avoid any de- 

 lay; also if by rail or boat g^ive station 

 or landing and if possible the name of 

 railroad or name of boat. Where no 

 instructions are given as to how ship- 

 ment should be made, we will use our 

 own discretion, but we urge all cus- 

 tomers to state plainly whether they 

 want goods mailed, expressed, or 

 shipped by boat or by rail. As all ship- 

 ments by boat must be prepaid, cus- 

 tomers not known to us must remit 

 enough to cover freight. 



Non-Warranty. Note — There are so many 

 contingencies to be encountered in 

 growing plants from seed and in set- 

 ting out plants that are dependent on 

 the weather and other conditions over 

 which we have no control, that suc- 

 cess in planting is not altogether de- 

 pendent on the seed or plant. We will 

 send out only seed which we believe 

 will grow and produce the kind of 

 plant and variety represented, but 



This company g-ives no warranty, expressed 

 or implied, as to description, quality, 

 productiveness or any other matter of 

 any seeds, bulbs, plants or trees, we 

 send out, and we will not be in any 

 way responsible for the crop. If the 

 purchaser does not accept the g-oods 

 on these terms, they are at once to be 

 returned. 



All C. O. D. orders must be accompanied 

 by at least half the amount.
