General Directions and Instructions 
HOW TO SEND MONEY. Remittance should 
be made by Postoffice or Express Money Order 
or by Bank Draft. Personal checks on good 
banks are accepted, but customers must pay ex¬ 
change and collection charge of 5 cents. U. S. 
stamps are accepted. 
DELIVERY OF GOODS. Goods may be sent 
by mail, express or freight. Postpaid prices 
are quoted in most cases. Parcel Post rates are 
given so that customers can figure the amount 
necessary to add to freight prices when larger 
amounts are desired by mail. If you wish goods 
sent by mail be sure that you remit mail prices. 
The Parcel Post weight limit is 70 lbs. Weight 
limit for Parcel Post to Canada 15 lbs. at 14c per 
lb. There is no reduction on postpaid prices of 
packet and ounce goods if sent by express or 
freight. 
EXPRESS AND FREIGHT. Quotations 
F. O. B. here means that we deliver the goods to 
the express or railway company. The purchaser 
pays all transportation charges on receipt of 
goods. On moderate sized orders we advise ex¬ 
press shipment rather than freight. All prices 
are F. O. B. here unless quoted postpaid. 
Upon delivery of goods to transportation com¬ 
pany, a sale is completed. In event of loss or 
damage to goods in transit the purchaser must 
have notation of such loss placed upon his re¬ 
ceipt, and may then file claim for loss at his 
station, or may send the necessary papers to us 
when we shall gladly enter claim for him, re¬ 
mitting to him as soon as the claim is paid. 
Remember that our responsibility ceases on 
delivery in good order to the transportation com¬ 
pany, and it is therefore imperative that every 
purchase be carefully examined for loss or dam¬ 
age before receiving it. 
We do not guarantee replacement of goods 
sent by mail. An additional remittance of five 
cents will insure any mail package. We can not 
insure plants and nursery stock so there is no 
recourse in case of delay and injury. 
PACKING. No charge is made for boxes, bags 
or wrapping for any goods offered in this catalog. 
KEEP A COPY OF YOUR ORDER. Check 
goods received with this copy. Sometimes items 
are sold out or will follow later, in which case a 
slip is enclosed with other goods or notices sent. 
MISTAKES. These will happen In spite of all 
care. Write us at once with copy of original 
order and order number, and mistake will be 
promptly rectified. Please do not return goods 
until you hear from us. 
Notify us if you hear nothing of your order 
within a reasonable time. 
OUR RESPONSIBILITY. It is so manifestly 
impossible for a seller of any perishable goods 
to be responsible for what happens to them after 
they leave his hands, especially goods like seeds 
which are planted in the ground under varying 
conditions of soil and climate, that we, in com¬ 
mon with all American seed houses, disclaim 
responsibility as to crop which may be raised 
from the seeds which we sell. 
We wish it understood that all goods are sold 
under the following general non-warranty. 
We give no warranty, express or implied, as to 
the description, quality, productiveness or any 
other matter, of any seeds, bulbs, shrubs or trees 
sold by us, and we will not be in any way re¬ 
sponsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not 
accept the goods on the above terms, no sale is 
made thereof, and they must be returned at once 
and money will be refunded. 
However, we wish to call the attention of our 
customers to the fact that we make careful tests 
of all seeds in our stock and endeavor to see that 
nothing but goods of the very highest quality are 
sent out. 
We urge most strongly that every bit of seed 
grain or seed corn received from us be tested. 
Should the test prove unsatisfactory or the goods 
not as represented we should be notified at once 
and an immediate adjustment will be made. 
With regard to trees or plants, if sent by ex¬ 
press, and damage is noted by consignee at the 
station, we are glad to replace or refund. We 
do not guarantee nursery stock and plants after 
being taken from the express office, but are al¬ 
ways willing to give attention to just claims for 
loss. We do not make C. O. D. shipments of per¬ 
ishable goods.
