Office: 712 J St., Sacramento, Calif., January, 1935. 
We respectfully call the attention of our custom¬

and .up to and including ten Pounds everywhere 
within the Fourth Postal Zone from Sacramento. 
This includes all of California, all of Oregon, all 
of Nevada, the western part of Arizona and Utah. 
Where express is cheaper or safer we reserve the 
right to send small orders by express prepaid in¬ 
stead of by mail, and large orders by freight. Please 
state by “mail only” if you so wish and we will be 
guided accordingly. We aim to send to all “R. F. D.’ 
addresses by mail only. 
FOR MORE DISTANT POINTS ON CORN 
BEANS, PEAS AND FIELD SEEDS the full ad¬ 
vantage of our free delivery offer is retained. Mere¬ 
ly add to your weight in pounds the ADDITIONAL 
amount in postage to the Fourth Zone rate which 
our free delivery covers. Thus the rate to Fifth 
Zone is 2 cents per lb. additional, to the Sixth Zone 
4 cents per lb. additional, to the Seventh Zone 6 
cents per lb. additional, to the Eighth Zone 8 cents 
per lb. additional. Remember that 1 lb. packed 
weighs 2 lbs. and allow accordingly on order for 
single pounds. 
We do not pay postage charges on anything ex¬ 
cept seeds unless these articles are priced as post¬ 
paid. 
We do not deliver free any plants, trees, roots or 
nursery stock, nor any bulbs, nor any insecticides, 
tools, implements, etc., unless these articles are 
priced as postpaid.

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS —Be very sure 
that your name and address in full are written very 
plainly on every order or letter sent us. 
CASH WITH ORDER —The proper way is to 
send remittance in full to cover order and postage. 
We send orders C. O. D. only if 25% of the amount 
of order is enclosed. Plants we never send C. O. D. 
REMITTANCES should be made by Post Office 
Money Order, Express Money Order, or by Bank 
Draft on Sacramento. For amounts up to one dol¬ 
lar, clean, unused postage stamps will be accepted 
Coin should not be sent by mail. Checks on local 
banks may be sent, which will be a great conveni¬ 
ence to many customers. 
NON-WARRANTY— Most of the failures with 
seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes beyond 
our control, such as unfavorable weather or soil 
conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., 
which render it impossible for us to guarantee suc¬ 
cess. Although we take all possible care to supply 
only such goods as will, under proper conditions, 
produce satisfactory results, we still give no war¬ 
ranty as to description, quality, or productiveness 
of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, 
and will not be in any way responsible for the 
crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods 
on these terms they are at once to be returned.
