R. L. Gould & Co. Seedsmen Since 1898 St. Paul, Minn 
Order Earlv It has al(Wa Y s been our policy to fill 
J orders the day that they are received, 
but on account of the uncertainty of weather conditions, 
it is advisable to anticipate your needs early and pur¬ 
chase your supply while our stocks are complete. You 
are then prepared to take advantage of the arrival of 
suitable weather for planting at any time. There is 
also the ganger of running out of some varieties, in the 
latter part of the season. So order early. 
Orri<=rir>cr PHI out your order on one of 
'-'lueimg Gould's order blanks whenever pos¬ 
sible. State how you wish goods sent. We recommend 
the sending of larger packages by Express, or Freight, 
but packages under 40 lbs. can be forwarded by Parcel 
Post at a considerable saving, as a rule. 
p arrp | Pnct Small packages to near-by points are 
uy i ai oci k p ea t sent by Parcel Post. Seeds or 
other goods ordered by Parcel Post must have amount 
included in the remittance for postage charges, except¬ 
ing on packet seeds or where otherwise stated postage 
prepaid in our catalog. AT OUR GREATLY REDUCED 
PRICE OF SEED, WE CANNOT PAY THE MAILING 
CHARGE, EXCEPTING ON 5c AND 10c PACKETS. 
Terms Please send money with order, for it is only by 
adopting a cash-with-order-policy that we are 
able to sell goods on a very small margin of profit. 
Goods will be sent C. O. D. provided order is accom¬ 
panied with a reasonable partial payment. 
p All prices quoted are subject to change without 
notice. Prices on field and grass seed fluctu¬ 
ate so during the season that no values are printed in 
this catalog. During the season, we issue special price 
lists which will be mailed to anyone on request, giving 
latest market quotations on the above mentioned seeds. 
Cackler with latest poultry feed prices is issued at inter¬ 
vals. A special Fall list is also issued about the middle 
of September, giving prices on imported Tulip and other 
Dutch and French bulbs, for Autumn planting. 
Grass and Field Seeds Al', gtlVj'Si 
shipped at purchaser’s expense, by Express or Freight, 
as ordered, or by Parcel Post, if amount of postage is in¬ 
cluded. Prices quoted in this catalog, or on special price 
lists, are F. O. B. St. Paul. 
DicrlaimAr As seeds, plants and bulbs are subject to 
climatic and other conditions over which 
we have no control, R. L. Gould & Company therefore 
give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, 
quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any 
seeds, plants or bulbs that they send out, and they will 
not be in any way responsible for the crop; and every 
order for articles named in this catalog will be executed 
on these conditions only. If the purchaser does not 
accept same on these terms, they are to be at once re¬
