General Directions to Customers 
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 
WASHINGTON, D. C., January, 1924. 
Name and Address 
Write your Name, Post Office, County and 
State as distinctly as possible. Some orders 
reach us which give neither name nor loca- 
tion. In such cases it is impossible for us 
to fill orders until we again hear from the 
senders. 
Use the Order Sheet 
Make out your list of requirements con- 
secutively in the order as given in the Cata- 
logue, placing the quantity wanted before the 
article, and the price of the same in the col- 
umn to the right; and always keep a copy 
of your orders. 
Correspondence 
should not be intermingled with the body of 
the order, but written at the bottom of the 
Order Sheet or on a separate sheet of paper. 
Remittances 
-The safest method of sending money is by 
Post Office Orders. Where they are not ob- 
tainable it can be sent by Express Money 
Orders, Registered Letter, or Draft on New 
York. For small amounts, postage stamps 
will be acceptable. 
When the Remittance 
is not sufficient to pay for the quantity o1 
seeds ordered, we will reduce the quantity to 
correspond with the remittance. 
Errors 
All possible precautions are taken to avoid 
their occurrence Notify us at once if your 
order is not properly filled, and we wilt 
promptly make the necessary corrections. 
Substitutions 
As the season advances some stocks of 
seeds are exhausted, so it is advisable when 
late orders are sent to name a few substitutes. 
We make substitution only when requested to 
do so, sending varieties that will as fully 
cover the indicated wants as our stock will 
permit. If not so instructed, the remittance 
will béerefunded. 
Send Us Your Order as Early as 
Possible 
It will facilitate its prompt execution, and 
you will have your seed when you are ready 
to plant. 
Parcel Post 
Seeds and bulbs can now be sent by parcel 
post at the same rates as general merchan- 
dise. See inclosed table of parcel post rates 
for all zones. 
Seeds by Express 
Seeds can now be forwarded at 20 per cent. 
less than merchandise rates; a saving to the 
buyer of one-fifth over previous rates. 
Shipments by Freight 
Seeds in bulk, implements and other heavy 
goods are shipped by freight, and unless there 
is a freight agent at point of destination, the 
freight must be prepaid; the purchaser ad- 
vances the same, unless otherwise arranged. 
Catalogues 
are sent free to all our customers of the past 
year. Should any change their place of:resi- 
dence, we desire to be informed, that we may 
correct the address when making their first 
annual purchase; this will insure their receiv- 
ing catalogues the following year by mail. 
Many of our patrons who desire our cata- 
logues fail to receive them because their Post 
Office address is unknown to us. 
Non-Warranty 
We do not warrant in any way, expressed 
or implied, the contents or description, qual- 
ity, productiveness, or any other matter-of any 
seeds, bulbs or plants sold by us, and we will 
not be in any way responsible for the crop. 
If the purchaser does not accept goods on the 
above terms, no sale is made thereof, and he 
must return them at once and money will be 
refunded. We make all sales, at the prices 
quoted in this catalogue, subject to the tbove 
conditions.
