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, except in 
Peas and Beans, Potatoes, Artichokes, and special quotations, when any or all of these are ordered in small quantities, ^ 
in many such cases 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 
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. 
Althongh every care will be taken in the packing and sending of plants, seeds, &c., risk of every description must be borne by thi 
purchaser immediately they are delivered to the Railway Company or Postal Authorities 
Every article is charged at the very lowest price. Our object is to give the ready-money buyers the advantage 
they are really entitled to. It may happen that prices lower than ours may sometimes be quoted. This invariabl 
means false 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 oare. 
Full instructions as to the proper mode of forwarding must accompany each order, as it is calculated to expedite transit of goods, at, 
save vexations mistakes. All goods are advised the same day as forwarded, and the invoice posted as soon as possible afterwards. 
Say by what rail. Please to write the address plain and in full on each order. No complaints entertained unless made immediately 01 
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 ant 
probable annoyance to our Customers. 
Cash with Order is a sound way of doing business, and it enables us to give 
you advantages in our goods and also prices. 
All orders by post will be dealt with precisely as if given personally. Those who send abovt 
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 
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 caret 
Plants in suitable boxes.

No visitors admitted on Saturday evenings and Sundays. Closed on all Bank Holidays. 
Customers are particularly requested, when sending orders for friends (with their own), to do so on 
papers, with eaoh address written plainly, to prevent mistakes.

firm 
Not as in co-operative societies, do we demand payment beforehand, unless from unknown correspondents, when satisfactory references to banken, 
or some person already known, are equally acceptable. So as to encourage quick returns and but small profits, we allow 5 per cent, discount 
(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 remitted 
in full. When special prices are quoted, accounts are payable one month from date of invoice and no discount. We cannot undertake to sell 
a receipt for payments under 2s. 6 d. , unless the return postage is sent us. 
We hope all customers will apprise us of change of address, thus saving the annoyance to them of redirection and surcharge by postal officials 
lots of double postage to us when returned; a halfpenny card would thus save us a shilling, and often pounds. Should any Customers not receive out 
Catalogues at the usual seasons of the year, we shall be pleased to send copies of same upon hearing from them. Many are lost in transit. 
We grow our own Seeds, and every possible pains taken, and the strictest attention is paid to have and 
IN I I L_ , 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 no 1 
pay any claims for damage or delay of goods sent at "Owner’s Risk” rates; we therefore beg to infornt 
our customers thfct our responsibility ceases as soon as goods are delivered into the hands of the Railway 
Company, and, in justice to ourselves, we cannot supply otherwise than on these conditions. All good 
forwarded at "Owner’s Risk” effect a great saving in cost of carriage, and which we consider of grea 
interest to our patrons; we shall tnerefore continue to dispatch parcels at “Owner’s Risk ” unless speciall] 
requested to forward them at "Company” Risk.
