How to Order by Mail 
YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. — Be very sure that your name and address are written very plainly on each 
order. We frequently have orders where either name is not given or address omitted. Also give plainly the R. F. D. 
number and box, or the street address. We acknowledge all orders above 25 cents by a postcard, giving the number 
of your particular order. If such acknowledgment is not received, or if the order does not follow at once, write us 
about it. 
CASH WITH ORDER. — The proper way is to send remittance in full to cover order and postage. We send 
orders C. O. D. only if 25% of the amount of order is enclosed. Plants we never send out C. O. D. 
REMITTANCES should be made by Post-office Money Order, Express Money Order, or by Bank Draft on 
San Francisco. For amounts up to one dollar, clean, unused postage stamps will be accepted. Coin should not be 
sent by mail. Checks on local banks may be sent, which will be a great convenience to many customers. We do not 
accept responsibility for orders which never reach us. 
SHIPPING. — We will use our best judgment as to the best way of sending orders when specific directions are 
not given. On large "postpaid" orders it is better to have them go by express if your town is on a railroad — it is 
safer. We prepay express charges quoted "postpaid." If special directions in shipping are needed, send them explic- 
itly, and where express or freight office is different from post-office, so state in space on our order sheet. Paris Green, 
Nico Fume and other poisons are not mailable, nor are liquids like Rose Leaf and other insecticides ; they must go 
by express or freight. Seeds do not pack well with nursery stock, because they are liable to get damp and become 
spoiled; it is better to have them shipped separately. 
SEEDS BY MAIL. — We send by mail or by express prepaid, all orders for flower seeds, and for vegetable 
seeds (except beans, corn and peas). We do not pay postage or express charges on onion sets, field seeds, clovers, 
grasses, bird seeds, beans, corn, peas, tools or plants; but we do pay them on other vegetable and flower seeds. 
Correspondents in foreign countries should add a sufRcent amount for postage at the rate of 12 cents per pound. 
Canada postage is 16 cents per pound. Seeds sent in sealed tin cans for the tropics cannot be sent by mail unless 
full letter postage, 50 cents per pound, is paid; they may, however, be sent by express, if such companies have 
offices there. 
PARCEL POST.— A new and adequate Parcel Post law now applies to shipments of seeds, bulbs, tools, plants 
and garden supplies (except poisons and liquids) to all of the United States; also to Alaska, Canal Zone, Guam, Hawaii, 
Porto Rico and the Philippines. Packages are subject to a limit of maximum weight in the first and second zones of 
50 lbs. ; and in all other zones, third to eighth, of 20 lbs. The maximum size of a package is 84 inches for combined 
length and largest girth. Insurance will be effected only when asked for and remitted for as follows : Parcels to the 
value of $25 or under for 5c; to the value of $25 to $50 for 10c. 
ZONE RATES may be had by application to your postmaster, who will tell you the zone which you are in with 
reference to San Francisco, or we will tell you as nearly as we can if you write us.

NON-WARRANTY: Note. — There are so many contingencies to be encountered in growing plants from seed 
and in setting out plants that are dependent on the weather and other conditions over which we have no controi, 
that success in planting is not altogether dependent on the seed or plant. We will send out only seed which we 
believe will grow and produce the kind of plant and variety represented, but: 
C. C. Morse & Co. give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any 
other matter of any seeds, bulbs, plants or trees they send out, and they will not be responsible in any way for the 
crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned.
