Flower Seeds offered in this Catalog, which is as follows : — 
registered For the convenience of our customers when ordering Seeds, and checking our bills, and to expedite the 
NUMBERS. execution of orders, we have allotted registered numbers to all Seeds offered in this Catalog, as it is much 
easier to write “ No. 6— 20 cents," than “one ounce Carters Crimson Ball Beet — 20 cents." We therefore 
urgently request our customers to order by number and price only.

POINT OF VIEW. 
THE EFFECT OF 
THE CARTER 
MULTIPLE UNIT 
SYSTEM ON 
PRICES. 
All Vegetable and Flower Seeds are offered by weight, measure, or number of Seeds, according to circum- 
stances, packets containing unstated quantities being practically eliminated. 
Large Seeds, such as Peas, Beans, Corn, &c., are offered by the J pint, £ pint, pint, and quart. Small 
Seeds by the tV oz., | or.., J oz., J oz., J oz., I oz., £ lb., and 1 lb. Flower seeds and very choice Vegetable 
Seeds are offered by number of seeds. 
By packing and offering our Seeds as above, our customers can buy as many seeds as they require, an 
innovation which we believe will be very popular, and much appreciated. 
The system has simplified our packing and shipping departments to such an extent that we have been able 
to reduce our prices substantially.

SYSTem L and N |TS ground and seed up in equal proportion, and as we propose to supply our Seeds in small units, our 
effect on even customers will be able to adopt the same principle. 
SOWING. 
If a customer objects to receiving the Seeds in small units, say, four quarter ounces for an ounce, or four 
singlepackets ounces for a quarter pound, or two pints for a quart, or four packets of 250 Seeds for 1,000 Seeds, we

ordering.

ORIGIN OF 
CARTERS TESTED 
8EEDS. 
All Seeds offered by Carters Tested Seeds, Inc., are grown, tested, packed, and sealed at the Royal Seed 
Establishment at Raynes Park, London, England, with the exception of purely American-grown stocks, 
which we obtain from growers of repute and integrity. 
CASH DISCOUNT 
OF 6 PER CENT. 
A cash discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed on all Vegetable and Flower Seed orders of the value of 1.00 
or more, when accompanied by cash. We make this offer in order to reduce our book-keeping and 
billing expenses, but it does not apply to charge orders or to any other goods. 
CARTERS 
MULTIPLE UNIT 
SYSTEM IS AN 
ECONOMICAL 
SYSTEM. 
The smallest quantity of Seeds offered of all varieties are scientifically calculated to give a good sowing 
and supply a good plant, or stand under ordinary conditions, and although some packets may seem to 
contain a great many Seeds, one must make allowance for the vagaries of the weather, the size of the seeds, 
and the destruction done by insects of all sorts. 
The Carter Multiple Unit System is an economical system, and we cannot undertake to break away from it 
and supply half-packets, nor can we agree to take any packets back opened or unopened.
