TO OUR CUSTOMERS WHO WISH TO ORDER BY MAIL 
OUR AIM IN FILLING YOUR ORDERS IS TO GIVE THE BEST IN QUALITY AND 
SERVICE. WE ASK THAT YOU READ THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS WHEN 
ORDERING BY MAIL SO THAT MISTAKES MAY BE AVOIDED. THIS WILL BE 
TO OUR MUTUAL INTEREST. 
1. HOW TO PLACE YOUR ORDER. 
Send all of your orders direct to the Howard Seed Company, 126 Broad St., Jacksonville, Florida. 
State all of your wants, quantity, price, etc., on our order sheet. We prefer to fill orders outlined on 
this form as this will enable our customers to give us complete information clearly and concisely. 
If you wish to write us in addition to sending in the order sheet, please enclose your letter with 
your order. We guarantee full and complete attention to any correspondence we receive from our cus¬ 
tomers. 
IMPORTANT. Be sure to place your correct address, including name, street address or Rural 
Route, city or town, and state on all orders and correspondence. 
2. HOW TO SEND MONEY. 
Remittances may be made by money order, draft, or check. On order where the amount is less 
than 50c we will accept U. S. postage stamps in good condition, 1, 2 or 3 cents stamps preferred. 
Please wrap stamps in oiled or waxed paper, if possible, to prevent their sticking together or to the 
order. If you send stamps or cash, BE SURE TO REGISTER YOUR LETTER. 
3. PRICES. 
It is our endeavor and intention to maintain all prices quoted in our catalogue throughout the sea¬ 
son. We do not think there will be any change in our price schedule, but seeds, like all other commodi¬ 
ties, are subject to market fluctuations and our prices may be subject to change without notice. We 
recommend that you order as early in the season as possible. 
4. CHARGES FOR SHIPMENTS. 
WE pay postage on any variety of flower or vegetable seeds in quantities up to five pounds. 
YOU pay postage on fertilizers, grass and field seed, insecticides, sprayers, tools and other supplies. 
5. METHOD OF SHIPMENT. 
Our business is organized to give prompt service. We can usually make shipment the some day 
the order is received. If no mention is made of method of shipment desired we reserve the right to ship by 
parcel post, express or freight. We assure our customers that we always use the best and most econom¬ 
ical means of transportation for the commodity to be shipped. 
6. C. 0. D. SHIPMENTS. 
Our business is conducted on a cash basis and we prefer that you send funds to cover the goods 
ordered and shipping charges, if the goods cannot be sent postpaid. By doing this you will save C. 0. D. 
fees charged by the express company or postal authorities for collecting and returning money. We 
cannot send perishable items such as plants, rose bushes, nursery stock, etc., C. 0. D. 
7. WARRANTY. 
We exercise the utmost care in selecting our seeds, bulbs, plants, etc. In accordance with the cus¬ 
tom of the seed trade, we give no warranty, express or implied, as to the description, quality or pro¬ 
ductiveness of this stock and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. We assure our custom¬ 
ers that all of our stock is of the highest quality and has been tested for vitality and productivity. The 
results of any planting depend, of course, on climatic conditions, soils, and cultivation as well as upon 
the seeds. Our seeds are grown by experts, they have been tested and retested for high germination 
and they are thoroughly clean. With reasonably favorable outside conditions, the results will usually far 
exceed expectations. 
8. RETURNED MERCHANDISE. 
We ask that you do not return seeds unless we have made a mistake in filling your order. This 
is for your protection as we know none of our customers would want to plant seeds that have been 
returned and we certainly would not feel safe or justified in filling orders with returned merchandise. 
We have no agents and deal directly with our customers, selling only our tested seeds and quality mer¬ 
chandise direct to them. 
9. IN CASE OF ERROR ON ORDERS. 
We make it our policy to exercise the utmost care in filling all of our orders. However, should 
some mistake occur, please write us fully, or call 5-2400, giving us all the necessary details and we will 
do all in our power to correct our error.
