WE PAY POSTAGE. Please remember, in 
comparing our prices with those quoted by 
other seedsmen, that we pay the POSTAGE on 
all seeds quoted in this catalog, by the packet, 
ounce, quarter-pound and pound-—except on 
Onion Sets and field seeds, on which our prices 
named are NET, and if ordered by mail you 
must send 8 cents per pound, to cover postage. 
If seeds are ordered by freight or express, 
at your expense, deduct 8 cents per pound from 
catalog prices (except as above noted). 
OUR TERMS are strictly cash with order. 
Remittance should be made by Post Office or 
Express Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered 
Letter. Amounts of less than $1 may be sent 
in postage stamps. 
If personal checks are sent they must be cer¬ 
tified by your banker. 
We do not ship seeds C. O. D. unless one- 
third of the amount of the purchase price ac¬ 
companies the order. C. O. D. shipments can¬ 
not be made by freight. 
HOW TO ORDER. Be sure to write your 
name PLAINLY; also your Post Office, County 
and State. Give the name of your freight and 
express office if different from Post Office. Al¬ 
ways state whether to ship by Mail, Express or 
Freight. 
USE OUR ORDER SHEET, carefully filling 
out the blank spaces at the top, for shipping 
directions. Use one line for each kind of seed 
ordered. . 
Always carry out the price of each item. 
Keep a copy of your order. (This is very im¬ 
portant.) 
We exercise the utmost care in filling orders, 
striving to be correct in every detail; yet in 
the press of business, errors sometimes occur, 
in which event we wish to be promptly notified 
of the fact and will make such corrections as 
will be satisfactory. 
WHEN TO ORDER. We strongly advise our 
customers to send in their orders immediately 
upon receipt of this catalog, as they will then 
have the seeds on hand when they need them, 
and avoid the unnecessary delay often caused 
by the rush of the busy season. It is advisable 
to order while our stock is complete. 
The prices we quote on Vegetable and Flower 
Seeds in this catalog will hold good as long as 
our stock lasts. 
Should you want any articles not listed in 
this catalog, we will be pleased to have your 
inquiries and will give them prompt attention. 
MARKET GARDENERS AND LARGE 
PLANTERS should write for Special Prices, 
stating variety and quantity required. 
WARRANTY. Seeds of the best quality will 
often fail through improper treatment, by sow¬ 
ing the seed too deep or too shallow; in too 
wet or too dry soil. They differ greatly as to 
temperature required for germination. Some 
will germinate rapidly at a certain temperature, 
while others, if sown under the same condi¬ 
tions, are apt to decay. The young plants are 
liable to various accidents. Cold or dry air may 
check their growth or destroy them. Insects 
above and below the ground may attack them 
and a great many other contingencies may 
arise to prevent the best seeds from giving sat¬ 
isfaction. We us© every precaution in procur¬ 
ing fresh, pure and reliable seeds, etc., but we, 
in common with other responsible seed houses, 
sell our goods subject to the following disclaim¬ 
er, it being that adopted by the American Seed 
Trade Association, i. e.: We give no warranty, 
express or implied, as to description, quality, 
productiveness or any other matter, of any 
seeds, bulbs or plants sent out; and will not be 
in any way responsible for the crop. If the pur¬ 
chaser does not accept the goods on these 
terms they are at once to be returned.
