IMPORTANT! Su's it.tft 
the supply of first grade seed of many items is very short this 
year. To avoid disappointment, we advise that you procure 
your supply early. Order direct from* a reliable seedsman. 
More than ever before it will pay you to* deal with an old 
established house. 
Greeting to Customers and Friends: 
For 52 years we have been actively engaged in producing and selling good seeds 
at prices within the reach of everyone. Our business has been built on first quality 
merchandise, good service, square dealing, and low prices, and that will continue to 
be our policy. Our old customers know and new ones may be assured that the seeds 
we sell are the best that can be produced. 
Our seeds are all selected for type and tested for germination. We offer new strains as soon as 
they have satisfied thorough growing tests and proved their value. 
You will find our prices low this year, and the quality up to the highest standards. To our cus¬ 
tomers, old and new, we extend assurance of our most faithful service and careful attention, whether 
the order is large or small. We are deeply grateful to our old friends for their continued patronage and 
confidence, and we hope that our new customers will find equal satisfaction in their relations with us. 
Yours very truly, ALNEER BROTHERS. 
Order Early 
it is advisable to order early. By doing so you will be sure of immediate attention 
and you will have your seeds ready when you want to plant them. 
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR OUR CUSTOMERS 
All seeds are shipped promptly. Plants and Tender bulbs are booked and shipped in proper season; 
we ship no plants during cold weather on account of danger from freezing. Fall bulbs are booked and 
shipped from September to December 1. We send no plants to Canada or any Foreign Country. 
All seeds, bulbs, and plants are sent free by mail or express at prices quoted, to any part of the 
United States, unless otherwise specified. Seeds, etc., not prepaid are sent by express or freight at 
buyer’s expense. Our Canadian customers will please add to catalog price at the rate of 8c per pound 
for postage, as it costs 14c per pound to send seeds from the U. S. to Canada. 
OUR RESPONSIBILITY 
We guarantee safe arrival of the goods and accurate filling of the 
order. No substitutions are made unless the customer specifies 
them. 
Poor weather and soil conditions, lack of attention, improper 
methods of cultivation are the usual causes of failures, therefore, 
if after reasonable consideration you feel that the fault was with 
the seed of any item, and not with any of these factors which are 
beyond our control, we will assume responsibility up to the amount 
of the purchase price of that item only. At any time during the 
current growing season, we will replace or refund the money, at 
your option. 
Therefore it is mutually agreed we give no warranty, expressed 
or implied, as to purity, description, quality, productiveness, or 
any other matter, of seeds or bulbs sent out, and will not be in 
any way held responsible for the crop. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY 
The money must accompany the order, and can be sent safely 
by Postoffice Money Order, by Draft on New York or Chicago, by 
Registered Letter or by Express Company’s Money Order. We dis¬ 
claim all responsibility when remittances are not made as above 
directed. Very small amounts may be sent in postage stamps.
