Customers Will Oblige Us by Carefully Heading 

 This Tage "Before Ordering 



Name and Address. Write your Name, Post Office, County, and State as distinctly as 

 possible. Some orders reach us which give neither name nor location. In such cases it is 

 impossible for us to fill such orders until we again hear from the senders. 



Send Us Your Order as Early as Possible. It will facilitate its prompt execution, 

 and will serve as insurance against disappointment later in the season when our stocks of 

 some varieties may become exhausted. 



Use the Order Sheet. Make out your list of requirements consecutively in the order 

 as given in the Catalogue, placing the different items desired in the columns provided for 

 them on order sheet; always keep a copy of your orders. 



Correspondence should not be intermingled with the body of the order, but should 

 be written on a separate sheet. 



Remittances. Send your remittances by Express or Post Office Money Order, Registered 

 Letter, or Draft. For small amounts, postage stamps will be acceptable. 



When the Remittance is not sufficient to pay for the goods ordered, we will send the 

 quantity for which remittance pays. 



Express Rates. Seeds, bulbs, and plants are now entitled to special rates, which are 

 considerably lower than rates on general merchandise. Where quick delivery is desired, 

 we advise, unless goods are too bulky, to have shipments go forward by express or 

 parcel post. 



Errors. All possible precautions are taken to avoid their occurrence. Notify us at once 

 if your order is not properly filled, and we will promptly make the necessary corrections. 



Substitutions. As the season advances, some stocks become exhausted, so it is advis- 

 able, when late orders are sent, to name substitutes. We substitute only when requested 

 to do so, sending varieties that will as fully cover the indicated wants as our stock will permit. 



Catalogues are sent free to all our customers of the past year. Should any change their 

 place of residence, we ask to be informed, that we may correct the address on our list. Our 

 local customers, who purchase over our counters, will please give their correct address when 

 making their first annual purchases; this will insure their receiving Catalogues the following 

 year by mail. Many of our patrons fail to receive our Catalogue because their post office 

 address is unknown to us. 



Please Let Us Hear from You. We are always delighted to receive from you frank 

 expressions of opinion concerning either our goods or methods of service. If it has been 

 our privilege to serve you to your satisfaction, kindly tell others about Beckert Service. 

 If our service proves disappointing, please tell us. 

 Where we are taking care of your orders About Warranties and Guarantees. Because of our inability to control Nature's 



forces, we cannot guarantee crops from our seeds. No honest seedsman can or does. We 

 take ah precautions, every precaution, to see that our seeds are right. They are tested as to vitality and purity; they come from the 

 foremost seed-growing specialists; they are handled by experienced men and put up in the most careful manner; they are guaranteed 

 to represent full value for money received. Beyond that, we cannot go, so, in common with all responsible houses, we do not warrant 

 in any way, expressed or implied, the contents or description, quality, 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, he should return 

 them at once and money will be refunded. We make all sales subject to above conditions.
