D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH, 



TERflS: 



OUR TERMS ARE STRICTLY 

 CASH WITH THE ORDER. 



HOW TO SEND MONEY. — Remittances may 

 be made at our risk by any of the following 

 methods, viz: Postoffice Order, Draft on New 

 York or Chicago, Express Go's Money Order, 

 OR BY Registered Letter. 



The rates charged for Postoffice Orders and Ex- 

 press Money Orders are now so low that these are 

 the best ways to remit. We will bear the expense 

 of sending money in either of these ways. Deduct 

 the cost of the order from amount sent. Express 

 Money Orders can be obtained at all offices of the 

 following Express Companies: American, United 

 States, Wells, Fargo & Co., and Northern 

 Pacific. They are cheap and absolutely safe. 



Postal Notes afford a cheap and convenient mode 

 of remitting small sums, but without security, be- 

 cause they are payable to bearer. We cannot be 

 responsible for money sent in this way. 



When Money Orders cannot be obtained, letters 

 containing money should always be registered. 

 Money in ordinary letters is unsafe. If currency is 

 sent by express, the charges should be prepaid, and 

 if local checks are used, 25 cents must be added to 

 cover the cost of collection. 



WE DO NOT SEND C. O. D., as the cost of 

 collecting return charges is quite an unnecessary item 

 of expense; and the prices being given, we can con- 

 ceive of no necessity to warrant goods being so sent. 



SIGN YOUR NAME.— We receive a great many 

 letters containing money and orders, which we can- 

 not fill because the sender has failed to sign his 

 NAME. The P. O. ADDRESS is frequently omitted, 

 and the post mark being blurred, we are unable to 

 fill the order, no matter how much we desire to do 

 so. Use our Order Sheet and Envelope whenever 

 you can, filling out the blank and signing your 

 name, and you will have no cause to censure us. 



SEEDS BY MEASURE.— One-fourth bushel 

 and over sold at bushel rates; four quarts and 

 over up to one-quarter bushel sold at four-quart 

 rates; less than four quarts sold at quart or 

 pint rates. 



SEEDS BY WEIGHT.— Half pound and over 

 at POUND RATES; less than half pound lots are 

 charged at ounce, two-ounce or quarter-pound 



RATES. 



BAGS. — To every order for one-quarter bushel 

 and upwards, to the amount of two bushels, 20 cents 

 must be added for a new bag in which to ship. 



FREE OF POSTAGE OR EXPRESS 

 CHARGES.— Packets, Ounces, Two Ounces, 

 Quarter Pounds or Pounds, ordered at list prices, 

 will be sent free by mail or express. 



PINTS AND QUARTS.— Pints, Quarts and 

 Four Quarts, ordered at list prices, fifteen cents 

 PER QUART, TEN CENTS PER PINT, must be added 

 for postage or express charges, and they will then 

 be sent free. 



PECK, BUSHEL AND BARREL LOTS. — 



Where Peck, Bushel or Barrel lots are ordered, 

 the freight or express charges must be paid by the 

 party ordering. 



%W' Where perishable or other goods are ordered 

 to be sent by freight or express to such great dis- 

 tances that the cost of transportation will nearly or 

 quite equal the value of the goods, we must decline 

 to ship unless purchasers remit us, in addition to the 

 price of goods, sufficient funds to prepay transpor- 

 tation charges. When this requirement is not com- 

 plied with, we reserve the right of declining the 

 order and returning money to the person ordering. 



CLUBS. — We offer the following liberal induce- 

 ments to Clubs, or those wishing to purchase seeds in 

 packets. The seeds will be sent by mail, post-paid; 

 but these low rates apply to seeds in packets only, 

 and at catalogue prices, and not to seeds hy 

 weight or measure. 

 Send us $1 .00 and select packets to the value of $1 . 15

GUARANTEE. — Complaints made that seeds are 

 not good, should quite as often be attributed to 

 other causes as to the quality of the seeds. There 

 are hundreds of contingencies continually arising to 

 prevent the best seeds always giving satisfaction, 

 such as sowing too deep, too shallow, in too wet or 

 too dry soil; inrects of all descriptions destroying 

 the plants as soon as or before they appear; wet 

 weather, cole' weather, frosts, chemical changes in 

 the seeds induced by temperature, etc. For the 

 above reasons, it is impracticable to guarantee seeds 

 under all circuristances. 



While we send out Qnly seeds that will, to the best of 

 our belief, give entire satisfaction, it must be expressly 

 understood that we give no warranty expressed or im- 

 plied, and we will not be in any way responsible for 

 the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods 

 on these terms they must be returned at once, and any 

 money paid us for them will be refunded.
