For years we have made our terms of sale 
very simple and brief, as given at top of page 
63 in this catalogue. 
But with so many plans and policies being 
changed or upset over night these times, it 
keeps one guessing to know what to say or 
do that will hold good even a few months. 
I want to keep to the simple, easy-to-follow 
system so far as possible. 
So am making no radical changes. The old 
terms still apply for spring 1934, but I’ll men¬ 
tion a few points that I wish you would keep 
in mind. 
Awaiting the SEEDSMEN’S CODE, which 
may be handed us any hour now, or may be 
delayed some weeks, we are still operating 
under the N R A. Any changes or require¬ 
ments the Seedsmen’s Code may ask, we shall 
of course comply with. I do not anticipate its 
changing any of our prices and terms this 
spring. 
As I write this in January, there are all 
kinds of wild rumors regarding cost of cash¬ 
ing out-of-town checks. Chances are there 
will be a fee of 5 to 10 cents on every check 
you send us. Maybe not. Hope not. 
We shall accept your checks as before, 
standing the fee ourselves if there is one. In 
return, we" ask that you do not send checks 
for very small amounts. Not asking any cer¬ 
tain amount, but hope checks will run several 
dollars or more. Send small amounts in paper 
money, silver, stamps or money order. 
Best of all, of course, is the Post Office or 
Express MONEY ORDER. Until financial 
matters get settled once more, stick to the 
money orders and you will have nothing to 
worry about, or worry us regarding sending 
money. 
The following paragraphs are reprinted from 
last year’s catalogue. They repeat in part 
some things I’ve just mentioned, but no harm 
to review and get these points firmly in mind. 
If you telegraph to Boulder, use Western 
Union service. Otherwise, message has to be 
phoned from Denver. Not so good. 
Special Delivery not necessary on your rush 
letters to me. I usually get mail sooner other¬ 
wise. Not that our local special delivery serv¬ 
ice isn’t rarin’ to go. It is. But we get super 
service from the mail clerks, who shoot the 
letters into our big box, No. 19. We get our 
mail right hot off the griddle. 
Turn to page 63 and read about how easy it 
is to send me orders and money, in my strong 
return envelope. An envelope need not to be 
burglar proof. If it will carry the money, 
that’s enough. Uncle Sam’s boys are honest. 
And careful. However, Money Orders always 
100% safe, and of course, preferred. 
We can use stamps, as small or as large as 
are made. But saves time to buy in sheets, 
precancelled. We weigh and stamp all our 
parcel post packages. That’s how come you 
get such sudden service. Your packages are 
on their way a few minutes after we unload 
them at the postoffice. So we prefer money 
instead of stamps. 
PLEASE MAKE OUT YOUR OWN ORDERS —“Leave it to me, J. D.,” is sometimes misinter¬ 
preted. It means I’ll look after filling of your order and see that you get service and value. 
But I need a definite order to work on. Some send me checks and say “I’ll leave it to 
J. D. to select for me.” This I can’t do in justice to myself and customer. 
I don’t know what kinds, sizes, you want or how high priced bulbs, etc., you wish. Im¬ 
possible for me to go through catalogue and select for customers. No time. 
So kindly make out your order from catalogue I’ve worked so hard to prepare to make 
ordering easy for you. Thanks.—J. D.
