2 J. M. THORBURN & CO/S CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



iiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^ 



I Prices, as will be seen upon comparison with others are as low | 



I as Highest Grade Bulbs can be sold at, and do not include trans- | 



I portation. | 



I We indicate under each heading of the various Bulbs, the maiUng weight j 



I when packed, so that if wanted by parcel post, our Customers can de- | 



I termine the amount required to be added for postage according to Zone | 



I rate, as per table below. 



I The weights given are those taken 



I from our stock last year, and may 



I vary in some instances; should there 



I be any difference in weight when 



I orders are filled, the postage will be 



I adjusted, and any amounts overre- 



I mitted will be returned. 



I On shipments of 15 lbs. and up- 



I wards it is best to send by express, 



I wherever possible, as by special ar- 



I rangements with the express com- 



I panies, bulbs travel at a reduction of 



I 25 per cent, from regular rates; it is 



I therefore both safer, and, in nearly 



I all cases, cheaper, to send large pack- 



I ages by express instead of by mail. 



I J. M. Thorburn & Co. give no warranty, express or 1 



I implied, as to description, quality, productiveness or I 



1 any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants they 1 



I send out, and they will not be in any way responsible 1 



1 for the crop. If the purchaser does noi accept the s 



§ goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned. 1
