INSTRUCTIONS TO CUSTOMERS 
When Writing. Please sign name plainly. Be sure to give your postoffice, county and state. 
All orders are acknowledged on receipt of same. If you do not hear from us promptly 
write us. 
Terms. Cash with order or one-fourth cash. Balance before shipment, or C. O. D. 
References. As to our reliability we refer you to the Kansas State Bank of Holton, post¬ 
master, or our express agent. 
How to Send Money. By express money order, postoffice money order or registered letter. 
Complaints. Regard to shortage or error must be made within ten days after stock is 
received and we are glad to make good all our mistakes. If stock should accidently prove 
untrue to name, we will replace same free of charge. We are liable for not more than the 
cost price of plants. 
Claims to the Express Company. If stock arrives in poor condition have your express agent 
to note same on express bill so we can make claim to the express company. We guarantee 
all stock to reach you in good condition by parcel post or express. 
Substitution. We do not substitute without permission, unless orders received late in season, 
we substitute with a similar variety. 
Order Early. The earlier the better; this helps us and helps you. If not prepared to send 
all the money with the order, send part and balance before shipment. 
Method of Shipment. Express is probably the best, all things considered. We ship all 
plants by express or parcel post unless otherwise instructed. 
Ship by Truck. Truck service is getting such that shipments can be handled that way for 
less money and can make as quick time as express. As yet the average receiver does not know 
how shipments can be made. If you think you can save time and money, talk to your nearest 
truck man and we will send the plants by truck. 
Parcel Post. Practically all small orders can be shipped by parcel post and it is the 
cheapest way for all points in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd zones. We are located almost in the center 
of the United States and can give better parcel post service than any other plant grower in 
America. As a rule it is better and cheaper to ship by express to all points beyond the 3rd zone. 
Packing. We make no charges for packing, which is done in the best possible manner. We 
use light crates for express shipments and use safe pack paper for all small orders, using plenty 
of damp moss. 
Labeling. Every bunch is labeled. Sometimes we run out of labels and in that case the 
varieties are carefully separated in the package and labeled. 
Shipping Season. We generally commence shipping plants by the first of March, but some 
seasons are later than others. Our shipping season continues until May 26th. 
Our Guaranty. We are very careful in growing, labeling and packing plants. Mistakes 
seldom occur. We guarantee our plants to be true to name and free from insect diseases. Will 
not be responsible for more than the price of the plants. All claims for loss must be made at 
once on receipt of plants. 
We reserve the right to substitute, this year, on small orders.
