Suggestions to Customers 
SEND MAIL TO NEW YORK. We ask that mail orders 
and correspondence be sent to 132-138 Church St., New York City. 
PLEASE USE THE ORDER SHEETS. Also keep a copy of your 
list, and, above all, do not omit your name and address. Numerous 
orders reach us every season without these important particulars. 
ORDER EARLY. It is difficult for us to serve you as 
promptly as we wish when we receive a very large number of rush 
onlers just prior to planting-time. Will you not help us by giving 
us your order early? We will appreciate the favor indeed, and 
you will gain too: by having the goods on hand you will be 
able to take advantage of early opportunities for planting. 
ERRORS. Ordering early helps to prevent errors. Our order- 
filling ss^stem calls for complete rechecking by efficient supervisors; 
customers may be assured of full weight and correct count. We be¬ 
lieve we have reduced errors to the minimum, yet should mistakes 
occur, our patrons may rely upon us to rectify them promptly. 
COMPLAINTS. These will always be adjusted to the pur¬ 
chaser’s satisfaction, but we ask that we be notified within 6 days 
of receipt of goods. We cannot consider complaints made after this 
nor can we accept responsibility for crop failures. 
ORDERS FOR PLANTS. Kindly use the special order sheet 
for plants to be found at the end of this book. We diip trees, 
shrubs, rosea, etc., at the correct date for planting, which may be 
some time after your order reaches us. When the plants arrive, 
impack them at once and water them. They should be “heeled in,” 
that is, be planted temporarily, or should have some soil plac^ 
around their roots if you are not ready to use them at once. 
IF ANYTHING IS MISSING when you unpack your goods, 
do not think we have necessarily made an error. Look first for a 
memorandum, either enclosed with your order or sent by mail, 
tolling you that some items of the order are to follow later; these 
may be goods which are not ready, or not suitable for using right 
away. Onion sets, trees, shrubs, roses, and plants generaUy are 
not shipped imtil it is the proper time to plant them. We some¬ 
times enclose small packages in larger bags of seed or fertilizer; 
please examine these before reporting shortage. 
PRICES. Our prices are net, with no discounts, and they are 
subject to change without notice.

REMITTANCES. These should be made by check, bank draft, 
post office order, or express money order. Do not send currency 
unless by registered letter. 
C. O. D. We are always glad to supply seeds, bulbs, fertilizers, 
or insecticides to be paid for on delivery. We do not send shrubs, 
roots, roses, hedge plants, or other perishable goods C. O. D. 
CHARGE ACCOUNTS. We will be pleased to open charge 
accoimts to responsible parties on receipt of the usual trade 
references; in this case our invoices are payable within 30 days 
net—no discount. 
FREE PACKING. For domestic shipments of seeds, bulbs, 
fertilizers and plants we make no packing charge, except when 
cotton and burlap bags are used for grass and field seed; these we 
bill at cost and allow In full when returned, prepaid, with 
sender’s name and address marked on bundle. 
EXPORT DEPARTMENT. Shipments to distant points form 
an important feature of our business, and we are well equipped 
to take care of these orders through our Export Department, 
which is organized to serve our clients in foreign lands. Pur¬ 
chasers may rely upon proper packing, prompt delivery to 
steamers, and correct preparation of the necessary documents. 
’rrazisporta.tion and special packing will be charged extra at cost. 
EMPLOYMENT REGISTER—Superintendents, Gardeners, 
Greenkeepers, Groundsmen, PoultrjTnen. We always have on 
our books the names of men seeking positions, most of whom are 
known personally to our representatives, and we will be glad to 
put them in touch with employers seeking help of this kind. 
NON-WARRANTY. We, Stumpp & Walter Co., give no war¬ 
ranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, productive¬ 
ness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, 
and will not be responsible for the crop. As bearing on the above, 
the following remarks, taken from a recent Bulletin of the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture, are interesting: “Without attempt¬ 
ing to discuss the arguments for the seedsman’s disclaimer pro 
and con, the fact remains that reputable seedsmen stand back 
of then seeds and do not knowingly and wilfully sell seeds that 
are unfit.”
