CONDITIONS OF SALE—All quotations are 
subject to market changes and goods being unsold

any seeds, plants or bulbs they send out, and they 
will be in no way responsible for the crop. If the

they are at once to be returned, money wdll be 
refunded and no sale has been made. 
ORDER EARLY—Do not delay ordering until 
you are ready to use the seeds or goods you want. 
The inconvenience and annoyance of delayed 
shipments, etc., can be avoided by customers plac¬ 
ing their orders early for all their requirements. 
The loss of time in planting caused by delays in 
receiving goods and the possibility of advances in 
price point to the advantage and wisdom of early 
buying. 
HOW TO SEND AN ORDER—You will find in 
the front of this catalog an order sheet, per¬ 
forated for tearing out; also an addressed 
envelope to send the order in. When con¬ 
venient, always use the order sheet. Please 
do not write anything on the sheet except items 
wanted and what pertains to the order. Write 
on separate sheet asking for prices, or questions 
to be answered, or information given; this will 
avoid the possibility of being overlooked; also 
insure quick attention to information asked. 
Please be careful to sign your Name, Street 
Address or R. F. D. Number, Postoffice, County 
and State, on each letter sent us. It is a good 
plan to print or typewrite. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY—Remittance should 
be made either by Post Office or Express Money 
Order, Certified Check or Bank Draft. Postage 
stamps in small denominations, to cover small 
purchases, are entirely satisfactory. Always reg¬ 
ister letters containing currency. Coin should 
not be sent by mail. 
C. O. D. SHIPMENTS—Shipping C. O. D. only 
adds to the cost, as the buyer pays the expense 
of collection. If you prefer shipment C. O. D.

of the bill. Under no circumstances will we ship 
perishable goods (plants, etc.) C. O. D.
