General Directions to Customers 1 



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

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

 ORDER EARLY. — We aim to execute orders as soon as received, but in rush season from March to May slight delays are unavoidable, 

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



FORWARDING. —We deliver, postpaid to any Post Office in the United States, Vegetable and Flower Seeds in packets, ounces and 

 pounds, except where otherwise noted in the Catalogue. Agricultural Seeds, Implements, Fertilizers and other heavy and bulky 



goods are sent by Express or Freight at purchaser's expense. 



All Plants, Roots and Bulbs are forwarded by Express, purchaser paying charges. For those of our customers who prefer to 

 receive their goods by Parcel Post, we will be pleased to forward in this manner such Plants, Roots and Bulbs as can be sent in this 

 way at the additional cost as noted on page 117 and on order blank which must be added to the value of each order for Plants, 

 Roots or Bulbs. Special instructions regarding the forwarding of plants will be found on page 117. 



CANADIAN SHIPMENTS. —Flower Seeds are sent postpaid. All other goods are sent by Express or Freight, purchaser paying all 



charges. Patrons who wish to purchase Plants or Bulbs must secure a permit from the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. 



LOCAL DELIVERY. — We deliver goods free in Philadelphia. We can also forward by Package System (Baggage Master) to points 

 where this system is in operation, such goods as will be received by them at the following charges. Packages weighing when packed 

 for shipment not over 10 pounds, 12 cts.; not over 25 pounds, 18 cts.; not over 40 pounds, 24 cts.; not over 55 pounds, 30 cts. 



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



Offices in Philadelphia. 



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. 



REMITTANCES should be made by Post Office Money Order, Drafts on Philadelphia or New York Banks, or Express Money Orders. 

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

 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 C. O. D. 



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- 

 be stated clearly and briefly, and not on order sheets. January, 193 1.
