The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, 

 which will, if followed, he an aid to purchasers as well as ourselves. 



ORDER EARLY. — We aim to execute all orders as soon as received, but during the rush season, in late September and October, delays 

 are unavoidable, which, however, can be largely overcome by our patrons anticipating their wants and ordering and taking delivery 

 of their requirements early. 



TIME OF SHIPMENT. —We confidently expect to be able to ship the majority of the bulbs offered in this catalogue before the close 

 of September; a few sorts do not mature until October or later. Unless otherwise instructed, we will send the early bulbs 

 as soon as ready, and the late-maturing sorts when in good condition to ship. 



FORWARDING. - 



Bulbs, Flower Seeds and Vegetable Seeds are delivered to any point within the United States prepaid by Parcel Post or 

 Express, at our option, except where otherwise noted in the catalogue. 



Agricultural Seeds, Implements, Fertilizers, and other heavy and bulky goods, are sent by Express or Freight at pur- 

 chaser's expense. 



Roses. All dormant Roses during the fall will be delivered charges prepaid to any point within the United States. 

 Plants are forwarded by Express, purchaser paying charges. For those of our customers who prefer to receive their plants by Parcel 

 Post, we will be pleased to forward in this manner such plants as can be sent in this way, at the following additional cost to cover

Packing. —No charge is made for boxes or packing on Express or Freight shipments nor for Delivery to Freight Depots or Express 

 Offices in Philadelphia; the extra cost of packing Parcel Post shipments of plants is included in the charge noted above. 



SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES. — We guarantee safe arrival of all goods sent by Express or Mail to points within the United 

 States. If a package sent by Express or Mail is injured or lost we will replace it as soon as informed of the fact. Goods sent in any 

 other way are solely at purchaser's risk. Frequently it happens that orders never reach us or are without signature. When cus- 

 tomers fail to receive their packages in a reasonable time they should inform us, and at the same time send a copy of order and any 

 other information necessary to trace the goods. Claims for damage must be made on receipt of goods. We do not hold ourselves 

 responsible for failures after delivery of the goods in good condition. PLEASE KEEP A COPY OF YOUR ORDER FOR 

 CHECKING DELIVERY.

We disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not made as above directed. Where it is not possible to obtain these, the letter 



should be registered. Coin should not be sent by mail. 

 CASH WITH ORDER. —Please send money with the order sufficient to cover the whole bill. We decline sending goods "Collect 



on Delivery." 



NAME AND ADDRESS. -Please remember to write on each order your NAME, POST-OFFICE, COUNTY and STATE; 



also give number of street or P. O. Box as distinctly as possible; also the NEAREST EXPRESS OFFICE. 



NON- WARRANTY. — Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as unfavor- 

 able weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which renders it impossible for us to guarantee success and 

 although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as will, under proper conditions, produce satisfactory results, we still 

 give no warranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, and will not be in any 

 way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in this Catalogue will be executed on these conditions only. It must, 

 however, be plain to every one who gives the matter the slightest thought that it is to our best interests to send out only such stock 

 as will not only grow, but prove true to name and description. 



CORRESPONDENCE. —We try to give prompt attention to all proper letters of inquiry, etc. We ask, as a favor, that all questions 

 oe stated clearly and briefly, and not on order sheets. SEPTEMBER, 1932.
