GENERAL DIRECTIONS TO CUSTOMERS 
ORDER EARLY.— All orders should be sent as early as possible, as 
they are filled In the order in which they are received. In our busy season 
it is sometimes impossible to fill orders on the same day as received; hence 
the advisability of ordering early. 
SHIPMENTS— All plants, shrubs, bulk seeds, fertilizers, etc., will be 
sent by express unless otherwise advised, but we assume no responsibility 
for stock shipped in any other way. 
PAYMENTS. — From unknown correspondents, a remittance or satisfac- 
tory reference should accompany order. Orders can be sent C. O. D. if a 
partial payment on account is made to guarantee good faith. 
ERRORS. — While we exercise great care in filling orders errors will 
sometimes occur. In that event please notify at once that we may make cor- 
rections. 
GUARANTEE.— We use great care to have our Seeds true and reliable, 
but owing to many contingencies arising to prevent the best seed from al- 
ways giving satisfactory results, such as sowing too deep, too shallow, in 
too wet or too dry soil, wet weather, frosts, damage by insects, as soon as 
or betore the plants appear, etc. In common with other responsible Seed 
firms, we sell our goods subject to the following disclaimer, being that 
adopted by the American Seed Trade Association: 
We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, 
productiveness, or any other matter, of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send 
out and will not be responsible in any way for the crop. If the purchaser 
does not accept the goods on these terms they are to be returned at once.
