EXCEPTIONS 
(a) In the first or second zone, where the distance by the 
shortest regular practicable mail route is 300 miles or more, the 
rate is 9 cents for the first pound and 2 cents for each addi¬ 
tional pound. 
(b) On parcels collected on rural routes the postage is 2 cents 
less per parcel than shown in the foregoing table when for local 
delivery and 3 cents less per parcel when for other than local 
delivery. 
*(c) Parcels weighing less than 10 pounds measuring over 
84 inches but not more than 100 inches in length and girth com¬ 
bined are subject to a minimum charge equal to that for a 10- 
pound parcel for the zone to which addressed. 
If you wish your Parcel Post package insured, please so 
state on your order, remitting extra for this at the rate of 5 cts. 
for each $10.00 value or less. 
Practically all articles listed in this catalogue, other 
than liquids and poisons, may be sent by parcel post. 
When figuring the amount of postage, if in doubt as to 
the exact amount required, you can remit even more 
than you think necessary, and we will return the amount 
not needed, as we cannot ship “postage collect” nor 
charge on our books small amounts due for postage 
stamps. Your postmaster will tell you the parcel post 
zone in which your postoffice is located measuring from 
Washington. 
If you wish your parcel post package insured, please 
so state on your order, remitting for this, 5 cents for 
each $10.00 of value. 
FOR LARGE ORDERS, shipments by freight are 
much cheaper than by parcel post and express. Wash¬ 
ington is one of the best distributing points in the coun¬ 
try, railroads radiating in every direction give prompt 
and efficient service so that customers can count on 
having goods delivered without delay. 
FLUCTUATION IN PRICE. Seed potatoes, onion sets, 
grass and clover seeds, in fact, all field seeds, fluctuate 
in price, depending on market conditions and supply. 
The prices given in this catalogue are those ruling at the 
time it is printed. We shall take pleasure at any time in 
quoting prices on request, or will fill any orders at the 
lowest price possible for high-grade seeds. All prices in 
this catalogue subject to change without notice.
