Our Merchandising Policy 
Order Early 
It is suggested that customers consider the advantages 
of ordering early and as soon as possible after receipt 
of this, the 1935 K 6? W Catalog. Experience of past 
years brings this suggestion to the fore and when in the 
rush of the season it is impossible to fill the entire order, 
(because of heavy call on certain articles) such items 
as are missing, will not hold up shipment but will go 
forward by separate parcel within a few days. 
Stock Seed 
A large part of our seeds are grown for us on con' 
tract by special growers, from our own stock, and in 
locations best suited for their development. Others are 
secured from strictly reliable sources and constant effort 
is made to secure only the best. 
Free Delivery of Seeds 
We will send by Parcel Post, to any part of the 
United States, all Vegetable and Flower Seeds quoted 
in this catalog, at packet, ounce, quarter-pound, half- 
pound rates, free of expense to the purcharser, except-, 
ing heavy seeds such as Peas, Beans, Corn, Clover Seed, 
Seed Grain, Roots, etc. These are quoted at net 
prices at our store. Purchasers desiring these by 
mail are requested to remit an additional amount suffi-. 
cient to cover postage, at parcel post rates according 
to zone. Allow two pounds in weight for each quart of 
Peas, Beans, or Corn. Particular attention is invited to 
this, as, when omitted the cost of postage will be de¬ 
ducted from the amount received. 
Shipping 
We deliver free to Express, Railroad or Boat. All 
goods travel at buyer’s risk; our responsibility ceases 
when we take the carrier’s receipt. If goods are dam¬ 
aged, so sign for them and enter claim with the carrier 
at once. 
Bags 
On orders for seed requiring bags the cloth bags are 
charged for at cost and if returned in good condition, 
charges prepaid, will be credited at price charged on all 
except wholesale orders. 
Remittance 
May be made by Express Money Order, Post Office 
Money Order or Bank Draft; if stamps or cash send in 
a Registered Letter. Parties having no account with 
us—who order goods without remittance—must furnish 
satisfactory reference. Portland reference preferred. 
Prices 
The pricing of all articles in the K^W 193 5 Catalog 
is carried out in good faith and it is our wish that they 
be maintained, but there are rare cases in which it is 
impossible to foresee a decline or rise in the producer’s 
charge to us. ALL PRICES ARE NET and subject to 
change without notice in such instances of purchase as 
are beyond our control. Where seeds or equipment are 
for resale by the retailer, freight or express should be 
considered and added when quoting to the prospective 
purchaser. 
Attention 
All correspondence answered promptly. 
Telephone orders given immediate attention. Call 
Portland, Dial 3-4796. 
Non-Warranty 
We give no warranty, express or implied, as to de¬ 
scription, quality, productiveness or any other matter 
of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send and we will not 
be responsible for the crop.
