A FEW POINTS WORTH ATTENTION. 
FREE ^CARRIAGE OF SEEDS. — We send all Vegetable and Flower Seeds carriage paid to any place in the United Kingdom, excepting 
Peas and Beans, Potatoes, Artichokes, and special quotations, when any or all of these are ordered in small "quantities, m 
fn^any^ucSTases the carriage nearly, if not quite, absorbs the value of the goods. 
Potatoes and sundries, &c., are only sent free if the value amounts to 20s. in England, and 40s. in Scotland and Ireland, and upwards, when we 
send the whole carriage paid. We do not pay carriage on Pot Plants, Trees, Shrubs, or Bulbs ; but extra plants, &c., are added gratis in lieu of carriage 
EMPTY PACKAGES. We charge at cost price, and allow two-thirds price if returned in good condition and carriage paid^ and must be in all 
cases accompanied with sender’s name and address and advised by post. 
Although every care will be taken in the packing and sending of plants, seeds, &c., risk of every description must be borne by the 
purchaser immediately they are delivered to the liailway Company or Postal Authorities. 
Every article is charged at the very lowest price. Our object is to give the ready-money buyers the advantages 
they are really entitled to. It may happen that prices lower than ours may sometimes be quoted. This invariably 
means fi^se economy in a variety of ways — good things must be looked after by good men, who must be fairly paid, 
and good strains are only procured by unceasing labour and care. 
Full instructions as to the proper mode of forwarding must accompany each order, as it is calculated to expedite transit of goods, and 
save vexatious mistakes. All goods are advised the same day as forwarded, and the invoice posted as soon as possible afterwards. 
Sav by what rail. Please to write the address plain and in full on each order. No complaints entertained unless made immediately on 
receipt of goods. 
The greatest care is exercised, and utmost liberality shown, when the selection of sorts is left to us. 
It is particularly requested that all small orders under 10s. be accompanied 
with remittance to avoid the necessity of Booking:, and very often the 
trouble of rendering: and even re-rendering: several times to our loss and 
probable annoyance to our Customers. 
Cash with Order is a sound way of doing: business, and it enables us to g:ive 
you advantag:es in our g:oods and also prices. 
All orders by post will be dealt with precisely as if given personally. Those who send above 
their value will have additional put in to make up the full amount. 
We have every facility for keeping a large stock of everything enumerated in this Catalogue, and are therefore determined to adopt the system of 
quick sale and ready money. All who enclose remittances will be most liberally dealt with. 
SEEDS AND BULBS FOR EXPORT. — All these are specially selected for Export Orders, and carefully and securely packed in tin-lined casM, 
Plants in suitable boxes. 
Our establishments are open for business, &o., from 6 o’clock a m. until 6 p.m., and 6 o’clock p.m. on Saturday. 
No visitors admitted on Sattirday evenings and Sundays. Closed on all Bank Holidays. 
Customers are partloulMly requested, when sending orders for friends (with their own), to do so on separata 
paper s, with each address written plainly, to prevent mistakes. 
When Special Quotations abe given. Customers ark kindly requested to mention such. 
To avoid delay and disappointment, all business communications must he sent direct to the firm, 
addressed “ H. CAJfJTELL ^ SOJfS,” otherwise they will remain unnoticed. 
Telegraphic Address, '• OAJfKELL, SWAJfLEY.” G.P.O. Telephone, JTo. 3, Swanley Junction. 
Post Office and Postal Orders to be made payable at Swanley Junction, Kent, and crossed ” ^ Co.” 
All Cheques to be made payable to H. CAMKELL SOJVS, and crossed Martin's Bank, Swanley, Kent 
Not as in co-operative societies, do we demand payment beforehand, unless from unknown correspondents, when satisfactory references to bankew,; 
or some person already known, are equally acceptable. So as to encourage quick returns and but small profits, we allow 5 per cent, discoont 
(.excepting Collections of Seeds, and which are strictly nett) on all payments made within 14 days of date of invoice, but after that date must be remittel 
iu full. When special prices are quoted, accounts are payable one month from date of invoice and uo discount. We cannot undertake to senl 
a receipt for payments under-2s. 6d., unless the return postage is sent ns. 
We hope all customers will apprise us of change of address, thus saving the annoyance to them of redirection by postal officials j a halfpennj 
card would thus save us a shilling, and often pounds. Should any Customers not receive our Catalogues at the usual seasons of the year, we shall b! 
pleased to send. copies of same upon hearing from them. Many are lost in transit. 
K I ^*T“ I O P We grow our own Seeds, and every possible pains taken, and the strictest attention is paid to have and 
IN V-/ I I O 1^ • supply every item as per Catalogue; but there are so many always anxious to rush into litigation for the 
sake of compensation for any trifle, and failures which may occur over which perhaps we have no control, that we are 
compelled to issue this notice : — 
H. CANNELL & SONS give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other 
matter of any goods they send out, whether planted by their own men or not, and they will not be in any way responsible 
for the crop, or for any promises their employees may make. If not accepted on these terms the goods are to be returned. 
Every personal effort is made to give the utmost satisfaction, and no complaints can be entertained unless made immediately 
on receipt of goods. (These conditions will be found in all Seed Catalogues.) 
We have received intimation from the various Railway Companies that for the future they will not 
pay any claims for damage or delay of goods sent at “Owner’s Risk” rates; we therefore beg to inform 
our customers that our responsibility ceases as soon as goods are delivered into the hands of the Railv^ 1 
C.nmnnnv nnri in iiistir.. tn niira«^lv..s w.. r.nnnnt siinnlv otherwise than on these conditions. All ^OOdiTt 
Company, and, in justice to ourselves, we cannot supply otherwise than on these conditions. All goodsH 
forwarded at “Owner’s Risk” effect a great saving in cost of carriage, and which we .consider of 
interest to our patrons; we shall therefore continue to dispatch parcels at “Owner’s Risk” unless special!)'^ 
requested to forward them at “Company” Risk. ^
