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: Postal Money Order, Draft on 

 New York or Chicago, Express Go's Money 

 Order, or by Registered Letter. 



The rates charged for Postal Money Orders and 

 Express 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 principal Express Companies. They 

 are cheap and absolutely safe. 



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 conceive of no necessity to warrant goods 

 being so sent. 



SIGN YOUR NAME.— We receive a great 

 many letters containing money and orders, which 

 we cannot 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 Envel- 

 ope 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. 



Ili^^ 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 transportation charges. When this require- 

 ment is not complied 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 by 

 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 

 satisfaction, such as sowing too deep, too shallow, 

 in too wet or too dry soil; insects of all descrip- 

 tions destroying the plants as soon as or before 

 they appear; wet weather, cold weather, frosts, 

 chemical changes in the seeds induced by tem- 

 perature, etc. For the above reasons, it is imprac- 

 ticable to guarantee seeds under all circumstances. 



In producing and handling our seeds we take every 

 'possible precaution to havie all of them of the highest 

 quality, but we give no warranty, express or implied, 

 as to description^ purity, productiveness, or any other 

 matter connected with any seeds we send out, and we will 

 not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the 

 purchaser does not accept the seeds on these terms 

 they must be returned at once, and any money paid us 

 for them will be refunded.
