Name and Address. Write your Name, Post Office, County,

 which give neither name nor location. In such cases it is im- 

 possible for us to fill such orders until we again hear from the 

 senders. 



Send Us Your Order as Early as Possible. 



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 inter- 

 mingled 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. j 



Express Rates. Seeds, bulbs, and 

 plants are now entitled to special rates^ 1 

 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 

 advisable, when late orders are sent, to 

 name substitutes. We substitute only when 



Where we are taking care of your orders 



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.

always delighted to receive from you frank 

 expressions of opinion concerning either our 

 goods or methods of service. If it has been

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 all precautions, every pre- 

 caution, to see that our seeds are right. 

 They are tested as to vitality and purity; 

 they come from the foremost seed-grow- 

 ing specialists; they are handled by experi- 

 enced men and put up in the most care- 

 ful manner; they are guaranteed to rep- 

 resent full value for money received. 

 Beyond that, we cannot go, so, in com- 

 mon with all responsible houses, we do 

 not warrant in any way, expressed or im- 

 plied, 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.
