82 D. M. FERRY & COS DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 



Our Terms are Strictly Cash with the Order, 



FREE OF POSTAGE OR EXPRESS CHARGES.— Where Packets, Ounces, Two Ounces, Quarter Pounds, or 

 S»ounds are ordered at list prices, they will be sent free by mail or express. 



PINTS AND QUARTS.— Where Pints, Quarts and Four Quarts are 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. 



i^°°In those cases where perishable or other goods are ordered to be sent by freight or express to such great distances 

 that the cost of transportation will nearly or quite equal the value of the goods, we must decline to forward goods unless 

 purchasers remit us, in addition to the price of goods, sufflcient funds to prepay transportation charges. When this require- 

 ment is not complied with, we reserve the right of dechning the order and returning money to the person ordering. 



SEEDS BY ME ASURE.— One-fourtli busliel 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 ^VEIGHT. — 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, 30 cents must be added for 

 a new bag in which to ship. 



TVE 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 conceive of no necessity to warrant goods being so sent. 



HOW TO SEND MONEY. — Remittances may be made AT our risk by either of the following methods, viz: Postof&ce 

 Order, Draft on New York, Express Co's Money Order, or by Registered Letter. 



The rates charged for Postofflce Orders and Express Money Orders are now so low that this is the very best way to remit 

 where they can be obtained. We will bear the expense of sending money in either of these ways. Deduct the cost of the 

 •order from amount sent. We desire to call particular attention to the fact that 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, because 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 currencj^ 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. 



SIGN Y'OUR NAME.— There is hardly a day that we do not receive letters containing money and orders, which we 

 cannot fill, because the sender has failed to sign his name. Again, 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, in all cases where you can, fill out the blank and sign your name, and you will have no cause to censure us. 



CLUBS. — We offer the following liberal inducements to Clubs or those wishing to purchase seeds in packets. The seeds 

 will be sent by mail, post-paid; but these low rates apply fo seeds m packets only, and at catalogue prices, and not to 

 seeds bij weight or measure.

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 satis- 

 faction, such as sowing too deep, too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil; insects of all descriptions destroying the plants as 

 soon as, or before they appear; wet weather, cold weather, frosts, chemical changes in the seeds induced by temperature, 

 etc. For the above reasons, it is impracticable to guarantee seeds under all circumstances, and, while we exercise the greatest 

 care to supply every article true to name, and of the very best quality, and believe our seeds to be as pure and good as any 

 to be found, we toish it to be distinctly understood that we sell no seeds w^ith any warranty, expressed or implied, 

 and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop.
