 the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms they are 

 at once to be returned. 



TESTIMONIALS FROM CUSTOMERS— We are always pleased to 

 hear from our customers regarding results. We appreciate the thousands 

 of unsolicited testimonials we receive annually and are glad to publish 

 as many as space will permit. Photographs of gardens and particu- 

 larly of individual vegetables, flowers or fruits are always very gladly 

 received by us. 



On shipments weighing 20 pounds or more it is cheaper to 

 ship by express. As the express companies give a receipt for 

 each package, and are responsible, it amounts practically to 

 insurance without cost, whereas it costs extra, according to 

 value, to insure a parcel post package. We guarantee the 

 safe arrival in the U. S. of all goods shipped b\' express.
