Fifteenth Annual Seed Catalog 
Important 
By Carefully Following These Suggestions, Many Mistakes Will Be Avoided 
Order Blanks 
Order blanks have been inserted in this catalog for 
your convenience. Please use them. Fill in your 
NAME, POST OFFICE, SHIPPING POINT or nearest 
EXPRESS OFFICE, your COUNTY and STATE, as 
this is as important in the prompt filling of your 
order as the order itself. Write plainly and avoid 
mistakes. Additional order blanks are mailed with 
every order. If you do not receive them, please no¬ 
tify us, and we will be glad to furnish them. 
Terms 
Our terms are strictly cash and we ask that you 
enclose your remittance with order. On all vegetables 
and flower seeds EXCEPT peas, beans, and sweet corn, 
you may deduct 10% as your savings if your order 
amounts to $1.00 or more. This offer does not apply on 
special offer collections, bulbs or plants. 
This offer is good only in the U. S. A. and your re¬ 
mittance must accompany your order to entitle you 
to the discount. 
How to Send Money 
Remittance should be made by POSTAL MONEY 
ORDER, EXPRESS MONEY ORDER, BANK DRAFT 
or CERTIFIED CHECK. It is perfectly safe and your 
order will be assured of prompt handling. U. S. CUR¬ 
RENCY and U. S. POSTAGE STAMPS for small 
amounts, are acceptable but in this case the letter 
should be REGISTERED. 
Canadian Customers 
We have enjoyed a very nice business with you in 
years past and we are glad to be enabled to serve our 
neighbors across the boundary line with our quality 
seeds, notwithstanding the postal rates to Canada 
have always been far in excess of any point in the 
United States, which we gladly paid by prepaying the 
postage charges, and this, we are sure is appreciated 
by you. Now with a temporary unrest in the financial 
world (at least we hope it is temporary) your checks, 
currency, money orders and bank drafts if payable in 
Canada, as is usually the case, are discounted at a 
very high rate of exchange in this country, therefore 
we must ask that you make your remittance payable 
in the United States at par in U. S. funds. Your 
banker or postmaster will gladly assist you and give 
you the necessary information. 
f Non-Warranty 
The seeds offered in this catalog hare been carefully 
grown, selected, cleaned and tested for germination 
and we believe them to be first-class, but as so many 
conditions enter into making a crop, we give no war¬ 
ranty, either express or implied, as to description, 
purity or productiveness, and will not be responsible 
for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the 
goods on these terms, they are to be returned at once, 
and the money will be refunded. 
While we do not think there will be any serious 
changes, all prices quoted herein are made subject to 
change without notice. 
Small Orders 
Small orders are just as welcome as the larger ones 
and receive the same careful attention and prompt 
handling. All orders are filled the same day as re¬ 
ceived. 
Large Quantities 
Parties buying large quantities of any one variety 
of seeds will be quoted special prices on application. 
All prices are net. 
Price of Seeds By Weight 
We will supply HALF POUNDS and over at the 
pound rate; less than half pound lots are charged at 
the quarter pound and ounce rate. 
Safe Delivery 
All seeds and supplies sent out by us are fully in¬ 
sured and we guarantee their safe arrival. If there 
is any damage, notify us immediately. 
Postpaid Prices 
We prepay postage on all vegetable and flower 
seeds in packets, ounces, quarter pounds, half pounds 
and pounds at the prices quoted herein to any point 
of the United States or any of its possessions, and 
Canada, however, we do not pay postage on beans, 
corn, or peas beyond the “one pound” price; field 
seeds, onion sets, miscellaneous supplies, or anything 
that is not specifically listed “postpaid.” If such 
items are wanted by parcel post, add sufficient post¬ 
age as per Parcel Post Rates given below. 
Air Mail 
On RUSH ORDERS received by mail or wire for 
one ounce or more of seed, we will send by air mail 
if so requested at a nominal charge of 15c PER 
OUNCE of seed ordered, as the postal rate is 8c for 
the first ounce and 13c for each additional ounce, and 
one ounce of seed would weigh more than one ounce 
when it is packed ready to mail. Where the mailing 
weight is less than one ounce, we will pay the post¬ 
age. This will give you overnight service to almost 
any point in the United States. 
Weight Limit 
The weight limit is now 70 lbs. anywhere in the 
United States, and we advise sending seeds by mail 
as the service is good; however, on shipments of 20 
lbs. and over it is cheaper to send by express, beyond 
the third zone.
