II. G. Hastings Co., Seedsmen, Atlanta, Georgia 
UNITED STATES PARCEL POST ZONE RATES 
WE PAY THE POSTAGE 
On all seeds in this catalog listed in 
packet, half ounce, ounce, quarter pound, 
pound and two-pound quantities, we pay 
the postage. On all seed, plant and bulb 
collections we pay the postage. We pay 
the postage on plants and bulbs except in 
larger quantities where a “not prepaid” 
price is named. 
YOU PAY THE POSTAGE 
When you order five pounds or more of 
any kind of seeds at “Not Prepaid” prices 
stated in the catalog, you pay the postage, 
express or freight. The same applies to 
quantity lots of bulbs and plants listed at 
“Not Prepaid” prices. 
When you order seeds in 5 or 10 pound 
lots or over at “Not Prepaid” prices you 
can have the seeds sent to you by parcel 
post, express or freight but you must pay 
the transportation charges. Where the 
freight or express office nearest you is 
not convenient and you had rather have 
your seeds delivered to your post office 
or mail box it is best to have them come 
by parcel post. 
When you order your seeds to come by 
express or freight we can send them “col- 
lect” so you may pay the transportation 
charges on delivery. If you want your or- 
der to be sent by parcel post the postage 
must be paid in advance and you must 
send us the amount of postage in addition 
to the cost of the seeds. When you order 
seeds in quantity at “Not Prepaid” prices 
you will get better and usually much 
quicker service if you will send us the 
postage so we can ship by parcel post 
rather than by express collect. 
When you order some items at “Post- 
paid” prices and others at “Not Prepaid” 
prices and want them all to come by par- 
cel post, add postage for the “Not Pre- 
paid” items only. All quantity lots of 
seeds in this catalog are listed in pounds, 
so it is easy to figure the extra amount 
for postage to send with your order. Your 
Postmaster and generally your R. P. D. 
Carrier can tell you what zone you are in 
from Atlanta.

Two things are 
necessary. First 
figure up the weight of the seed according to what you are order- 
ing. Then, assuming that you know the particular zone you live in 
from Atlanta, take the amount shown in the column for that zone 
opposite the number of pounds you are ordering. Whatever that 
amount is must be added to the cost of the seed so we can pre- 
pay the postage. 
As an example we will suppose that you want to order 14 pounds 
(a peek) of corn. If you lived in either the 1st or 2nd postal zones 
from Atlanta the amount to be sent us in addition to the price of 
the corn woxild be 18 cents ; for the 3rd zone 32 cents ; for the 4th 
zone 59 cents and so on. With the above table it’s very easy to 
figure it exactly, once you know w'hat your zone number is. 
By parcel post, seeds can be sent to any post office and if you 
live on an K. F. D. route, they are brought to your door. Sev- 
enty pounds is the weight limit. If larger quantities are wanted 
it would have to split into two or more shipments. 50 pounds is 
the weight limit for the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th zones. 
APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF ZONES 
For those who cannot easily get information as to their zone we 
give the following approximate location of the zones. If at all in 
doubt as to your zone be sure and send enough to cover necessary 
postage. If you send too mueh it will be returned to you. The 
rates in the 1st and 2nd zones are the same. 
GEORGIA — Eargely in the 1st and 2nd zones. Extreme southern 
part is in 3rd zone. 
ALABAMA — Divided among three zones; eastern half in 2nd 
zone, western half in 3rd zone except extreme southwestern portion 
which is in the 4th zone. 
FLORIDA — Has three zones. The northern part is in the Srd 
zone, the middle and most of South Florida in the 4th, and ex- 
treme southern portion in 5th zone. 
MISSISSIPPI — ^About evenly divided, the eastern half being in 
the 3rd and the western half in the 4th zone. 
LOUISIANA AND ARKANSAS— Both of these states are entirely 
in the 4th zone. 
TEXAS — Mostly in the 6th zone, a small part including the most 
eastern counties being in the 4th and extreme western portion 
in 6th. 
TENNESSEE — Divided in three zones. Southern part of East 
Tennessee is in 2nd zone; most of the rest in 3rd zone except the 
extreme western part which is in the 4th. 
SOUTH CAROLINA — Western part of the state in 2nd zone, 
balance in 3rd zone.
