It’s Easy to Figure Parcel PostCharges 
Add the shipping weights as given in the catalog descrip¬ 
tions of the articles you order, and change the ounces into full 
pounds (the table below shows how to convert ounces into 
pounds). 
In figuring postage on packages weighing more than one 
pound, the Postoffice figures a fraction of a pound as a full 
pound. For example: If the total weight of your order is 
7 pounds 2 ounces, it will take the 8-pound rate. 
Total Ounces Takes rate for 
9 oz. to 16 oz.1 lb. 
17 oz. to 32 oz.2 lbs. 
33 oz. to 48 oz.3 lbs. 
49 oz. to 64 oz.4 lbs. 
65 oz. to 80 oz.5 lbs. 
and so on. 
When you have the total weight of your order in pounds, 
and you know the zone (see map below) in which you live, 
refer to the table of rates below and you can immediately tell 
the amount of postage required to ship your order. 
Increase your saving by sending larger orders, as the postage 
on several articles is often not much more than for one or two! 
For example, Postage on a 1-pound package to the 3rd zone 
is 9c; while postage on a 10-pound package to the 3rd zone is 
only 27c, less than 3c a pound. 
Be Sure to Send Additional Money to Pay Postage 
Charges for parcel post shipments must be paid in advance. 
Add the amount for postage to the cost of the merchandise 
and include it in your remittance. We always return every 
penny you send over actual postage required. 
Careful Grading 
and Packing 
All Sears nursery stock is shipped 
direct from nursery to you, and is 
packed with the greatest of care in 
order that it will reach you in a healthy 
condition. This assures you of quicker 
growth and less chance of stock dying 
out. 
Experts grade the nursery stock 
after it is dug and before it is packed. 
Every plant is critically examined—it 
must have an abundance of roots, well- 
balanced tops—every plant must meet 
the rigid specifications of Sears and 
of the American Association of Nurs¬ 
erymen. Every plant must be free 
from disease. A certificate to that 
effect is furnished by the Department 
of Agriculture, and this certificate 
accompanies each shipment.
