IMPORTANT — In remitting postage 

 always add it to the fool of the order as a 

 separate item — this will help to avoid 

 mistakes. 



Your local postmaster will inform you 

 what Zone you are in from New York 

 City, if you are in doubt, and you can 

 add for postage accordingly.

We forward Seeds to any postoffice 

 in foreign countries by International 

 Parcel Post when mail routes are open. 

 Full details in our "International 

 Parcel Post Circular" mailed on

 sending orders direct to us. 



ALL GOODS IN THIS CATALOGUE are offered subject to being unsold 

 on receipt of order, and the prices quoted are subject to change without notice. 



ADVANCE ORDERS, CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE. All advance

 at once to be returned.

 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
