TERMS OF 
Conditions Of Guarantee Of Quality.— We guarantee our Seeds, 
Bulbs, etc., according to the quality purchased, to be of the highest average 
standard of vitality of the season, and it is open to the purchaser to confirm 
this by submitting the samples to professional analysis at his own expense. We 
cannot, however, be in any way responsible for the produce of Seeds, Bulbs, &c., 
sold under this guarantee, or for errors of description ; and it must therefore 
be clearly understood that our responsibility ceases upon the final acceptance 
of the goods. 
Orders. — When practicable, Orders should be written separately from 
General Letters or Enquiries. Please write your Name and Address in full, 
also nearest Railway Station or Shipping Port to which the Goods are to be 
forwarded. All letters are opened under the direction of one of our Principals, 
and the Orders are given out for execution under personal supervision. Plant 
Orders are sometimes delayed by severe or hot weather, and they at all times 
take longer to execute than Bulb or Seed Orders, in consequence of the time 
required in lifting and packing, especially in the autumn, after the long 
accumulation of Orders. 
New Customers. — We beg respectfully to state that on opening an 
account it is necessary for us to receive Cash with the Order, or a reference to 
a Banker or some one known to our House. 
Free Carriage of Goods (except in cases where the cost of carriage 
absorbs the value of the parcel, when we reserve to ourselves the right to send 
unpaid). — We deliver Seeds, Potatoes, Plants, and Bulbs Carriage Paid to any 
Railway Station in England and Wales, or to any Port in Ireland or Scotland 
where practicable, also Free by Parcels Post to Purchasers’ door where 
possible. We occasionally hear of charges being made by the Railway Com- 
panics, notwithstanding that our address label bears the imprint in bold letters, 
“ Carriage Paid." In cases where a Charge for the Railway Carriage is made, 
when the Package is labelled" Carriage Paid," Purchasers should on no account 
pay the demand, but refer the Carriers to us. Charges for delivery from 
Stations (if any) must be borne by the consignee. Glass and other Goods liable 
to breakage are sent out securely packed, but beyond that we cannot be 
responsible for damage in transit. Notice of damage should be at once made 
to, and compensation claimed from, the Carriers. 
Cash Discount. — We allow 5 per cent, discount off the total amount of 
invoice on all goods paid for with order, or within 14 days from the date 
of invoice (unless other terms are specified or arranged), but at no later period. 
BUSINESS. 
Term Of Credit.— Our fullest term of credit is three months from date 
of invoice and without discount, and our books are made up quarterly — i e 
March 1st, June 1st, September 1st, and December 1st. Five per cent, interest 
will be charged upon overdue accounts. 
Remittances.— Postal Orders, Post Office Orders, or Cheques on any 
Bank are acceptable, and should be drawn in favour of James Carter & Co 
and crossed “ London and Westminster Bank.” 
Empty Packages, Hampers, Boxes, Sacks, Bags, etc are 
charged at cost price, and full price will be allowed for them when returned 
immediately, carriage paid, and in good condition. These should be in every 
case marked “ Empties from a letter by post informing us of their 
despatch is also necessary. Booking charges must be prepaid, and a receipl 
should be taken, so that the value may be recovered if they are lost or mis- 
sent. Coin, other valuables, or important communications should on no 
account be enclosed with returned empties. On receipt of a post-card we 
will send printed address labels. 
Attention to Customers. — It is our earnest desire that all the require- 
ments and directions of Customers be scrupulously attended to by our assistants 
and we practise the utmost personal supervision to see that they are carried 
out. We would, therefore, respectfully request that we be informed if at any 
time there is cause for dissatisfaction, that we may have it rectified at the 
earliest possible moment. 
Change Of Address.— Please notify to us any change of Permanent 
Address, in order that we may be able to forward our Catalogues with 
regularity. The favour of your kind recommendation of our House to those 
of your friends requiring Seeds for the Garden or Farm, or Plants and Flower 
Roots for the Garden or Conservatory, is respectfully solicited. We shall be 
pleased, at all times, to forward our Catalogues to any address we may be 
favoured with. 
Stewards and Gardeners.— We have at all times a number of 
experienced men on our Registers, and shall be glad to hear from any 
Customer requiring persons in either of these capacities. 
Seeds for Cottagers, etc. — Seeds for distribution to Cottagers, for 
Allotments, Soldiers’ Gardens, Local Horticultural Societies, Hotel-keepers 
etc., supplied at special terms.
