Customers Will Oblige Us by Carefully 

 Reading This Page 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 im- 

 possible for us to fdl such orders until we 

 again hear from the senders. 



Send Us Your Order as Early as Pos- 

 sible. It will facilitate its prompt execu- 

 tion, and you will have your seed when 

 you are ready to plant. 



Use the Order Sheet. Make out your 

 list of requirements consecutively in the 

 order as given in the Catalogue, placing 

 the quantity wanted before the article, 

 and the price of the same in the column 

 to the right; and always keep a copy of 

 your orders. 



Correspondence should not be inter- 

 mingled with the body of the order, but 

 should be written on a separate sheet of 

 paper. 



Remittances. Send your remittance by 

 Express or Post Office Money Order, 

 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 of seeds ordered, 

 we will send the quantity for which the 

 remittance will pay. 



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. 



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 



Where we are taking care of your orders 



prepaid, the purchaser advancing the same, unless otherwise 

 arranged. Our facilities for shipping to points south of 

 Pittsburgh on the Ohio River and connecting streams are 

 excellent, steamers plying daily between 

 this and southern points. 



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 of seeds are exhausted, so it 

 is advisable, when late orders are sent, to 

 name a few substitutes. We make sub- 

 stitutions only when requested to do so, 

 sending varieties that will as fully cover 

 the indicated wants as our stock will per- 

 mit. If not so instructed, the remittance 

 will be refunded. 



Catalogues are sent free to all our cus- 

 tomers of the past year. Should any 

 change their place of residence, we desire 

 to be informed, that we may correct the 

 address in our Catalogue list. Our local 

 customers, who purchase over our coun- 

 ters, will please give their correct address 

 when making their first annual purchase; 

 this will insure their receiving Catalogues 

 the following year by mail. Many of our 

 patrons who desire our Catalogues fail 

 to receive them because their post office 

 address is unknown to us.

All goods bv parcel post are sent at purchaser's risk, unless insured. Insurance is 5 cts. for 

 $25 or less; 10 cts. for $25 to $50. This insures delivery only, but not damage to package. 



Who can guarantee that the sun will shine or that it will 

 rain on a certain day? Because of mankind's utter depend- 

 ence on Nature, and because of our inability to control 

 Nature's forces, except in a very limited way, we cannot guar- 

 antee crops from our seeds. No honest seedsman can or does. 



We take all 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 experi- 

 enced men and put up in the most care- 

 ful manner; they are guaranteed to repre- 

 sent full value for money received. Be^ 

 yond 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, pro- 

 ductiveness, 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.
