Zone Postage to Family Gardeners 



Family Gardeners are asked to study Zone Postage. Especially those who late in the season want to fill 

 up on any varieties of Seeds can obtain them quickly by Parcel Post at the prices for postage named in the 

 schedule below. 



Family Gardeners will observe that the Postoffice Department has divided the United States into eight 

 Zones or Sections of country, all at varying distances, and to all of which Zones the postage rate per pound 

 differs according to distance. Of course the California or eighth Zone is the highest. 



For example, several pounds of Peas, Beans, Cabbage Seed, or any other seed, going to Zone No. 3 

 will cost 6 cents per pound, while the same weight of Seed going to Zone 4 will cost 7 cents per pound. 

 The diagram explains itself. 



Cabbage Seed for instance can be obtained in the far west at the postage rate of 6c. Just nothing 

 if the article be wanted. 



The Family Gardener ordering Seeds by Mail should add postage on Peas, Beans and Corn, according 

 to the zone rate in which he lives and according to the number of pounds ordered.

To Family Gardeners 



POSTAGE PAID by Landreth 



With the exceptions named below on all Garden Vegetable Seeds Landreth pays the postage. Ordei 

 them at the Catalogue prices. 



POSTAGE NOT PAID by Landreth 



On Peas, Beans, Corn and Agricultural Seed : add postage to the Catalogue prices of these. The 

 postage table printed above marked "X" gives the rate. 



The advantages over express or freight on Peas, Beans and Corn by parcel post are clearly seen. 

 For example, take 5 pounds of Peas to Columbus, Ohio, situated in the Fourth Zone: 



For the first pound, 7c; for each additional pound, 4c; total for the 5 pounds, 23c. 

 Or to Santa Fe, in the Seventh Zone: 



For the first pound, 11c; for each additional pound, 10c; making, as a total, 51c 

 Far cheaper than express. Try parcel post. 



INVITATION 



On page 4 is an illustration of Landreths' New Seed House, so large and so well adapted for the pur- 

 poses intended that Landreths' Customers, when in Philadelphia, are invited to run up to Bristol, twenty 

 miles, to inspect it, which is a three minute walk from the Pennsylvania Railroad Station. 



The convenience of this building will make the filling of orders much easier than when the items were 

 scattered under different roofs, as when at Bloomsdale, and at varying distances, once thought to be more 

 safe, providing against a mixture of varieties, but under the ample conditions of the new building capaci- 

 ous space can be assigned to distinct varieties. 



Family Gardeners planting Seeds, especially of other Seed Establishments, are cordially asked and 

 pressed to visit the Landreths' Seed House to observe for themselves, and on the spot, the facilities for 

 storing and packing Seeds, and if they have time also to visit the Landreth Trial Grounds.
