INSTRUCTIONS AND TERMS 
Read Carefully Before Ordering 
WE never employ agents. This book is our only salesman. Beware of anyone solicit- 
ing your order for Kellogg Pedigree plant as they can be obtained only by sending 
your order direct to R. M. Kellogg Co., Three Rivers, Mich. 
The varieties listed and described in this book are the only ones we are growing this 
season. Please do not ask us to quote prices on any other varieties, as we cannot do so. 
All orders are booked in the rotation in which they are received. The earlier your order 
is received, the more certain you will be to get the varieties of your choice. 
We never ship plants C. O. D. nor until fully paid for, nor do we book orders and reserve 
plants until at least part payment is made, except to State or Public Institutions. 
We do not accept orders amounting to less than $1.00. Full payment should be sent 
with orders amounting to less than $5.00, but if your order amounts to $5.00 or more, and 
you cannot send full payment with order, you may send a payment of one-third the amount 
with the order, but the balance must be sent not later than April 1st. Full payment 
should be included with orders sent to us after March 15. 
We endeavor to acknowledge receipt of all orders promptly, but during March and April, 
we receive so many orders daily that it is impossible to acknowledge receipt of all orders 
the same day they are received. However, should you fail to receive acknowledgement 
within a reasonable time, write us, giving the date and description of your remittance. 
If you wish to increase or make any change in your order after it has been booked, don't 
fail to refer to the order number. Orders are not subject to cancellation and we cannot 
change any order after April 1. Additional plants may be ordered at any time, but if an 
additional order is received after April 1, it will be booked and shipped separately. 
It is advisable to have your plants shipped just as early as possible. We begin digging 
and shipping plants in the spring just as soon as weather conditions will permit, which is 
usually about April 1st, and continue until May 25th. Please do not request us to ship 
plants at any other time as we absolutely must refuse. Unless you instruct us to ship your 
plants on a certain date, we shall use our own judgment as to date of shipment. 
Kellogg Pedigree plants are accurately counted and tied into bunches of twenty-five 
plants each, and each bunch bears a label giving the name and sex of the variety. 
Should you change your residence, advise us at once, giving both your new and old 
address. Always sign your name the same, as this prevents confusion of names and enables 
us to give your letters prompt attention. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY 
All payments for plants should be made by Post Office or Express Money Order or by 
bank draft or registered letter. Currency or coin not registered is sent at your own risk. If 
yousend a personal check, add 10 cents extra as our bank charges us this amount forexchange. 
OUR GUARANTY 
With our careful methods of growing, labeling and packing plants, mistakes are practi- 
cally impossible. We therefore guarantee Kellogg Pedigree plants to be true to name and 
free from all insects or fungous diseases, but we accept all orders with the express under- 
standing that, should a mistake occur, we are not to be held responsible for more than the 
amount paid us for the plants. All claims for mistakes or adjustments must be made im- 
mediately upon receipt of plants, advising us the number of plants of each variety you 
have received, also the number of crates or packages containing the plants. This will 
enable us to investigate the claim promptly. 
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. All orders are accepted subject to crop and weather 
conditions and with the mutual understanding that R. M. Kellogg Co. will not be held re- 
sponsible for loss or delay after plants are turned over to the Transportation Company, 
or for inability to fill any order through 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 should we be unable to furnish plants of 
varieties you have ordered, may we substitute with other varieties equally as good or better? 
It is very important that you answer this by writing "yes" or "no" on the order sheet. If 
you do not express your desire, we shall assume that you wish us to use our judgment. You 
may rest assured that we shall not substitute in any case, unless it is absolutely necessary.
