FREE OF POSTAGE OR EXPRESS CHARGES.—Where Packets, Ounces, Two Ounces, Quarter Pounds or 
Pounds 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, fifteem 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. X 
(e8"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, 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. 
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. jn 
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. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY.—Remittances may be made AT our RISK by either of the following methods, viz: Postoffice 
Order, Draft on New York, Express Co’s Money Order, or by Registered Letter. 
The rates charged for Postoffice 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 
At 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 
¢o 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 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. 
SIGN YOUR 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 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 cther 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, 
ete. For the above reasons, it is impracticable to guarantee seeds under all circumstances. 
While we send out only seeds that will to the best of our belief, give entire satisfaction, it must be expressly understood 
that we give no warranty expressed or implied and we will not be held in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser 
does not accept these seeds on these conditions, they must be returned at once and any money paid on the seeds will be 
returned
