NOTICE. I This Catalogue cancels all Priced Lists preuiously issued by us. 
THE ADVANTAGE OF CASH PAYMENTS. 
‘ Cash Buyers can deduct 5 per cent. (is. in 20s,) from the value of all Orders accompanied b y a rem ittance. 
Cash Buyers. — All Orders accompanied by a remittance will be delivered Carriage Free at our option, 
either by Parcels Post or by Rail. 
Cash Buyers have the utmost advantage in price, and large Orders 
are most liberally made up. 
Cash Buyers should remit by Postal Order or Cheque, in every 
case crossed “ London and Westminster Bank.” 
Where practicable, we shall despatch small packages by Parcels Post, 
but we reserve to ourselves the option of forwarding by any other 
route we may select when forwarding goods Oarriage Free. 
TERMS OF 
Orders.— All orders should be written separately from general letters or 
letters of enquiry. 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, aAer the long 
I accumulation of orders. 
Free Carrlag'e 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 all Bulbs, Seeds, Potatoes, and Plants, Cpriage Paid, 
to any Railway Station in England and Wales, or to any Port in Ireland or 
Scotland having direct communication with London, or Free by Parcels Post 
to Purchasers’ door where possible. IVe occasionally hear of charges being 
1 made by the Railway Companies, notwithstanding that our address label bears 
I the imprint in red letters, "Carriage Paid" In cases where a Charge for 
the Railway Carriage is made, notwithstanding that 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 must be paid by 
Purchaser. 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 fourteen days from the date 
of invoice (unless other terms are specified or arranged), but at no later period. 
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 ist, and December 1st. Five per cent, 
interest will be charged upon overdue accounts. 
Bemlttances. — Postal Orders, Post Office Orders, or Cheques on any 
Bank are acceptable, and should be drawn in favour of Jambs Carter & Co., 
and all crossed “London and Westminster Bank.” 
Empty Packages, Hampers, Boxes, Sacks, Bags, etc., are 
charged at cost price, and full price will be allowed on 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 
BUSINESS. 
despatch is also necessary. Booking charges must be prepaid, and a receipt 
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 labels. 
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. 
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 most pleased, 
at all times, to forward our Catalogues to any address we may be favoured with. 
Gardeners and Stewards. — We have at all times a number of ex- 
perienced 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.

Gardeners to design and advise in work of this kind. Plans and estimates

Conditions of Guarantee of Quality.— We guarantee our Seeds 
according to the quality purchased to be of the highest average standard of 
vitality ot the season, and it is open to the purchaser to confirm this by sub- 
mitting the samples to professional analysis at his own expense. We cannot, 
however, be in any way responsible for the produce of Seeds sold under this 
guarantee or for errors of description ; and it must therefore be clearly under- 
stood that our responsibility ceases upon the final acceptance of the goods.
