ACCOUNTS — Parties having no account with us — who order goods 

 without remittance — must furnish satisfactory reference. New York 

 City reference preferred on account of the shorter delay pending investiga-

 steamer or mail. When no shipping instructions are given we send ac- 

 cording to our judgment. Some seeds, etc., we deliver free in the U. S.,
