R. L. Gould & Co. Seedsmen Since 1898 St. Paul, Minn 
Orrlt>r Farlv It has always been our policy to fill orders 
Ldriy ti ie ^at they are received, but on 
account of the uncertainty of weather conditions, it is 
advisable to anticipate your needs early and purchase 
your supply while our stocks are complete. You are then 
prepared to take advantage of the arrival of suitable 
weather for planting at any time. There is also the 
danger of running out of some varieties, in the latter 
part of the season. So order early. 
Whon Orrlorino out y° ur order on one of Gould’s 
rr nen v-^raeriny order blanks whenever possible. State 
how you wish goods sent. We recommend the sending 
of larger packages by express, or freight, but packages 
under 40 pounds can be forwarded by parcel post at a 
considerable saving, as a rule. 
p p | Small packages to near-by points are 
Dy rarcei rosi best sent by parcel post. Seeds or other 
goods ordered by parcel post must have amount included 
in the remittance for postage charges, excepting on 
packet seeds or where otherwise stated postage prepaid 
in our catalog. AT OUR GREATLY REDUCED PRICE 
OF SEED, WE CANNOT PAY THE MAILING CHARGE, 
EXCEPTING ON 5c AND 10c PACKETS. 
Tormc Please" send money with order, for it is only by 
l erms adopting a cash-with-order-policy that we are 
able to sell goods on a very small margin of profit. 
Goods will be sent C. O. D. provided order is accom¬ 
panied with a reasonable partial payment. 
All prices quoted are subject to change without 
ces notice. Prices on field and grass seed fluctuate 
Pri 
so during the season that no values are printed in this 
catalog. During the season, we issue special price lists 
which will be mailed to anyone on request, giving latest 
market quotations on the above mentioned seeds. Cackler 
with latest poultry feed prices is issued at intervals. A 
special fall list is also issued about the middle of Sep¬ 
tember, giving prices on imported tulip and other Dutch 
and French bulbs, for autumn planting.
