INSTRUCTIONS AND TERMS 
Read Carefully Before Ordering 
This book is our only salesman. Kellogg Pedigree Plants can be obtained only by 
sending your order direct to R. M. Kellogg Company, Three Rivers, Michigan. 
Orders are booked in the rotation in which they are received and should be sent to us 
just as early as possible. 
Full payment should be included with your order if it amounts to less than $5.00. If 
your order amounts to $5.00 or more and you are unable to remit the full amount when order- 
ing, you may remit one-third of the amount with the order, the balance to be sent not later 
than April 1st. Full payment should be included with orders sent to us after March 15th. 
We never ship plants C. O. D. nor until fully paid for, nor do we book orders and re- 
serve plants until at least part payment is made, (State or Public Institutions an exception). 
We endeavor to acknowledge receipt of all orders promptly, but during March and 
April we receive so many orders daily that it is often impossible to acknowledge all the same 
day they are received. If you do not receive acknowledgment within a reasonable time 
however, write us, — giving full description of your order and remittance. 
If you wish to make any change in your order after it has been booked, always refer 
to the order number. Orders are not subject to cancellation and we cannot change any 
order after April 1st. Additional plants may be ordered at any time but if an additional 
order is received after April 1st, it will be booked and shipped separately. 
It is advisable to have your plants shipped as early as possible. We begin digging and 
shipping in the spring as soon as weather conditions permit, usually about April 1st, and con- 
tinue until May 25th. We positively refuse to ship at any other time of the year. If you 
specify shipping date, we shall follow your instructions as closely as weather permits. 
Unless you specify shipping date, we shall use our own judgment as to date of shipment. 
Kellogg Pedigree Plants are accurately counted and tied into bunches of 25 plants, 
each bunch containing a label giving the name and sex of the variety. Plants of each 
variety must be ordered in exact multiples of 25; that is, — 25, 50, 75, 100 and so on. 
Advise us promptly of change of residence, giving both your old and new addresses. 
Always sign your name the same as this assists us in giving your letters prompt attention. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY 
Remittances should be made by Post Office or Express Money Order, bank draft 
or registered letter. Currency or coin not registered is sent at your own risk. Add 10 cents 
extra if you remit by personal check as our bank charges us this amount for exchange. 
OUR GUARANTY 
With our careful methods of growing, labeling and packing plants, mistakes are prac- 
tically impossible. We therefore guarantee Kellogg Pedigree Plants to be true to name and 
free from insects or fungous diseases, however we accept all orders with the express under- 
standing that in no event will we be held responsible for more than the amount paid us for the 
plants. All claims for mistakes or adjustments must be made immediately upon receipt of 
the plants, advising us the number of plants of each variety received, date received, also 
the number of crates or packages. This will enable us to make a prompt investigation. 
Kellogg Pedigree Plants are delivered to the Transportation Company in strictly first- 
class condition and thereupon our responsibility ceases. We cannot and will not be in any 
way responsible for the crop. Orders are accepted subject to crop and weather conditions 
and with the mutual understanding that R. M. Kellogg Company will not be held respon- 
sible for loss or delay after plants are turned over to the Transportation Company, or 
inability to fill any order on account of shortage of plants, conditions resulting from an 
act of Nature, labor situation or any other cause beyond our control. 
SUBSTITUTION 
We seldom find it necessary to substitute but if we are unable to furnish certain 
varieties you have ordered, may we substitute varieties of equal or greater value? It is 
very important that you answer "Yes," or "No" in proper place on Order Sheet, naming 
second choice if substitution will meet with your approval. If you do not indicate your 
wish, we shall assume that you wish us to use our judgment in substituting.
