R.B. BUCHANAN SEED CQ 
MEMPHIS. TENNESSEE. 
R. B. BUCHANAN, SEEDSMAN 
TO YOU: 
This is the beginning of my thirty-seventh year selling seeds in 
Memphis—to many families I am selling the fourth generation, having 
sold seed to their Fathers, Grandfathers and Great-grandfathers. 
In complying with the National Recovery Act, I have raised wages 
and put more people to work, yet have been able, owing to the increase 
in volume of business, to give you this year the same low prices as last 
year on nearly every item of vegetable and flower seed, and many prices 
have been reduced. 
Buchanan’s Seeds are known in every Southern State. The Buck 
Brand trademark is the mark of a reputation that has grown stronger 
year by year for more than a quarter of a centuy. 
Good seed is the smallest cost of any crop, and I urge every Merchant, 
Banker, Doctor, and Lawyer to indorse our Agricultural Agents and 
Vocational Teachers in their efforts to obtain the highest quality seeds 
for your community, remembering “That as the Southern Farmer 
Prospers, Your Business will also Prosper.” 
Wishing you and yours health and hard work during 1934, I am 
Yours very truly, 
January 1, 1934. R. B. BUCHANAN. 
Read Directions for Ordering 
CASH WITH ORDER—Please send money with the order sufficient to 
cover the whole bill and remit by express, postal money order or check. 
We refuse to send goods “Collect On Delivery” unless remittances are 
made on account to guarantee acceptance. Our terms are cash. 
C. O. D.—Absolutely no plants or other perishable goods will be sent 
C. O. D. We advise against C. O. D. orders because of delays and high 
collection charges, which are unsatisfactory to the customer and expen¬ 
sive to us if uncalled for and returned at our expense. We accept 
C. O. D. orders for seeds in exceptional cases when 25% of the order 
amount is paid in advance. This deposit is meant to cover collection 
and return charges in case the order is not called for and paid for by 
the customer. 
FREE DELIVERY BY MAIL—We deliver free to any postoffice in the 
United States all Vegetable and Flower Seeds quoted in this catalogue. 
The Parcel Post delivery being so convenient for those living away 
from their postoffice, especially during their busy planting season, we 
have tried to quote all items in this catalogue Post Paid in small 
quantities, and will quote any other items prepaid to you if you will 
use our Special Quotation Sheet and list the goods you want, saying 
you want all transportation charges paid to you. 
ERRORS—While we exercise the greatest care in filling orders, en¬ 
deavoring to do a little more than we offer, yet in the press of business 
errors sometimes will be made, in which event we wish to be promptly 
notified Of the fact and will make such corrections as will be entirely 
satisfactory. Customers should be very clear and explicit in making 
out all orders, and thereby help us to avoid errors. Please keep copies 
of all orders for comparison. 
PLANTS, BULBS AND SLIPS—Plants, bulbs and slips are seldom 
forwarded on the same day with seeds ordered at the same time. They 
are packed separately and sometimes are delayed. 
NON-WARRANTY—Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs 
are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as unfavorable 
weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which 
renders it impossible for us to guarantee success. We will give no war¬ 
ranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, 
plants or bulbs we send out, and will not be in any way responsible 
for the crop, and every order for articles named in this catalogue will 
be executed on these conditions only. 
YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS—Always be sure to give both; we 
have hundreds of orders, either unsigned or without address, await¬ 
ing identification. If you have not received the seeds you ordered, 
probably yours is among them.
