GENERAL DIRECTIONS TO CUSTOMERS 
Office: 712 J St., Sacramento, Calif., January, 1936. 
We respectfully call the attention of our customers 
to the following directions, which will, if followed, 
be an aid to purchasers as well as ourselves. 
FORWARDING — We deliver free, in the United 
States and possessions, and Mexico, by Parcel Post 
or Express to any express office at our option, all 
Vegetable and Flower Seeds by the packet, Ounce 
and % Pound, and up to and including 10 Pounds 
(except Corn, Beans, Peas and Field Seeds, which 
are delivered free within Fourth Zone only as indi¬ 
cated below.) 
CORN, BEANS, PEAS AND FIELD SEEDS — We 
deliver free in Packets, Ounces, and % Pound, 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 instead 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 advantage of oui- 
free delivery offer is retained. Merely add to your 
weight in pounds the ADDITIONAL amount in post¬ 
age 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 except 
seeds unless these articles are priced as postpaid. 
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

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 dollar, 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 convenience 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 condi¬ 
tions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which 
render it impossible for us to guarantee success. 
Although we take all possible care to supply only 
such goods as will, under proper conditions, pro¬ 
duce satisfactory results, we still give no warranty 
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.
