TERMS OF BUSINESS 
We guarantee our Seeds 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, how- 
ever, 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 understood that our responsi- 
bility ceases upon the final acceptance of the goods, and while we exercise the greatest 
care to have all seeds, bulbs, plants, and shrubs, true to name, we can give no warranty, 
express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of 
seeds, bulbs, and plants, we send out, and will not be held responsible for the crop. If 
the purchaser does not accept the goods on these tenns and conditions, they must be 
returned at once and the money that has been paid for same will be refunded. 
The prices quoted in this catalogue are those prevailing at this date and are subject to 
change without notice. All terms of payment are net cash. 
We deliver free in the United States or Canada, to any Post Office, Railroad, Express 
Office, or Freight Station at our expense, all Vegetable and Flower Seed orders at the 
packet, ounce, quarter pound, half pound, and pound prices, also bulbs at the single 
and dozen rates, except where otherwise noted. Purchaser must pay transit on pints, 
quarts, pecks, and bushel lots, also plants and bulbs where noted, tools, fertilizers, and 
insecticides, etc. When ordering pints or quarts of Peas, Beans, or Corn, charges pre- 
paid, please remit in addition to price at the rate of 8 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart. 
Purchasers should order early to ensure a prompt, seasonable shipment of their goods. 
Do not wait until spring ; send your order in now for future shipment. All orders should 
be written separately from general letters or letters of inquiry. Please write the name 
and address in full, also be very particular to give the number of street or Post Office 
Box when goods are to be sent by mail, and when ordering goods forwarded by express 
or freight always state clearly the express or freight station. 
In opening an account with us it is necessary for us to receive cash with the order, or 
we must be furnished with satisfactory references. Those pertaining to Boston or 
Toronto preferred, thus saving time. 
Post Office Money Orders, Bank Drafts, Registered Letters, or Express Money Orders 
are acceptable and we must disclaim all responsibility when remittances are made in 
any other way. All cheques, etc., should be drawn in favour of “Carter’s Tested 
Seeds, Inc.” 
All letters are opened under directions of one of our principals, and the orders are 
given out under personal supervision. Bulb and plant orders are sometimes delayed by 
severe or hot weather and they at all times take longer to execute than seed orders in 
consequence of the care in lifting and packing. Customers should always retain a true 
copy of the order sent to us. 
It is also our earnest desire that all the requirements and directions of customers be 
scrupulously attended to by our assistants, and we practice the utmost personal super- 
vision 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. 
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 express or freight companies which 
delivered the article. Never sign for goods damaged in transit. 
Any proper letter of inquiry will receive prompt careful attention and answer, but 
our friends will favour us by stating all questions clearly and briefly and not using the 
order sheet. During April and May we are extremely busy and we would ask our 
patrons to curtail as much as possible all inquiries during those months. 
Please notify us of 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 Bulbs 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.
