 COST OF MAIIING SEED. 



Orders for ounces and & lbs. as well as ten centpapers are mailed free of postage, except Beans, Peas 

 and Corn. On orders by the pound and quart an advance of 8c. per lb. or pint, and 15 cents per quart 

 must be added to quotations for postage. See page 4, in regard to seeds by mail. 



On the receipt of #1 00 we will mail 15 large size papers of seeds, pnt up the same as seeds sold by 

 the pound. These papers can be selected from this Catalogue, and include four papers of either Teas 

 or Beans in tbe fifteen papers. Or for the same amount we will mail twenty smaller papers, including 

 four papers of either Peas or Beans. This is done to enable customers to get reliable seed in good 

 sized papers in places where our seeds are not sold. 



We are not like a great many houses, prepay postage and add to the prices on seed. If you will in- 

 vestigate our prices carefully, you wiil find thenj as cheap as the cheapest for the same quality of teed.

 seed except Peas, Beans and Corn, Potatoes, Onion Sets, Shallots, Grass and Field Seed, shrubs, 

 Shade and Fruit Trees, Flowering Plants and Poultry, Garden Implments, Tools, and Dirt Bands; 

 these are net cash. 



CHEAP SEED. 



"While we claim to sell good seed as low as any one in the business, we do not want a reputation for 

 cheap seed, which in fact is only another name for a mixed, low grade, or worthless article. Many com- 

 plaints reach us, from time to time, of great loss to gardeners here from purchasing from establish- 

 ments advertising cheap seed. It is poor economy to try to eave a few cents when we bear in mind that 

 the cost of the seed is a small matter in the total cost o"f the crop. If we do not start with a pure seed, 

 true to name and kind, of good vitality, it is self-evident that we cannot make a good crop, no matter 

 how lavish we may be after planting in fertilizing and cultivating. We are in the business to stay and 

 will not risk the loss of our reputation to gain a few extra dollars now. 



OUR TERMS— Cash, or satisfactory reference. Orders from unknown parties whose 

 financial rating- is not recorded, must be accompanied by a Draft on New Orleans, Registered 

 I/etter or Money Order. Where neither of the above can be obtained, send remittance in 

 United States postage stamps. Stamps must be in good order, and placed so they will not 

 Stick together. 



No Plants or I,ive Stock sent C. O. D. by express. 



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 delay; also if bv rail or boat 

 give station or landing, and if possible the name of railroad or name of boat. 



All C. O. D. orders must be accompanied by at least half the amount. 



BEWARE OF CHEAP SEEDS. 

 NO ONE CAN FURNISH A GOOD ARTICLE BELOW COST. 



Special notice is given to purchasers to compare our catalogue prices with those of Northern firms 

 who add freight, cartage and cost of bags. Taking those items into consideration it will be seen that 

 •ur prices are in keeping with those whose prices are far in advance of ours and our seed are none but 

 the best the soil produces. 



These prices are calculated very low, be careful of lower offers.
