PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
Seeds and bulbs are forwarded as ready. All 
seeds, but not actual bulbs or live plants, are 
postpaid. Safe arrival is guaranteed. Goods are 
offered subject to arrival or harvest. All previous 
prices are withdrawn. 
I try to send out only good seeds, but I cannot 
control the conditions under which they are 
planted. I give no warranty, express or implied, 
as to description, quality, productiveness, or any 
other matter of any seeds, bulbs, or plants I 
sell, and I will not be responsible for the crop. 
Please remit with order, by money order if 
possible, or by personal check. Try to avoid 
sending stamps. No C. O. D. shipments made. 
Order minimum should be fifty cents. Right is 
reserved to change prices in case of considerable 
change in monetary values.

ORDERS FROM ABROAD—I send seeds to all 
parts of the world, without charge for regular 
postage. In a few isolated regions, as Uganda, 
Cyprus, etc., a special additional transit charge 
is levied, which should be remitted by customer. 
Customs duties (if any, these are usually low) 
are payable by customer, ordinarily at his local 
postoffice. Remittance with order can readily be 
made by purchasing an International Money 
Order at your own postofnce. I cannot use stamps 
or currency of other countries. Please allow for 
differences in exchange.
