REMITTANCES —Should always be made by Postal 
or Express Money Orders or Checks. Your personal 
check is good, but if you wish to send a money order, 
we will pay for it. Just deduct the cost of the order 
from the amount of money you send. Please do not 
send cash or stamps if it be possible to do otherwise. 
We have had many orders either lost or stolen during 
the past year and when this happens we cannot trace 
an order if the remittance was made in cash or stamps. 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE— Our terms 
are strictly cash to everybody except persons having 
an account with us. If you wish to open an account 
send references. The Slate Seed Company gives no 
warranty, express or implied, as to the quality, des¬ 
cription, purity, productiveness, or any other matter 
of any seeds, bulbs, roots, or plants they send out and 
they will not be in any way responsible for the crop 
therefrom. If the purchaser does not accept the goods 
on these terms, he must return them at once. 
SHORTAGE —When receiving goods from freight 
or express office be certain that the package is in good 
condition. If it has been damaged make the agent 
note the damage on his bill and send this bill to us 
and we will enter the claim for damage and refund 
you the amount due you. 
EVERY SHIPMENT IS GUARANTEED TO 
REACH YOU IN GOOD CONDITION— This guar¬ 
antee is good only when the loss is reported to us im¬ 
mediately upon receipt of the goods or in case they do 
not reach you within a reasonable length of time after 
you have mailed your order. When writing about such 
matters, always give the number of your order, a list 
of what was short, and your full name and address. 
ORDERS WITH NO NAMES —We have a number 
of these on hand now. Any person giving us a list of 
the items, amount of remittance or such description, 
may obtain a refund of the amount sent in such orders. 
WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS —Notify 
us so that we may continue to send you our catalogs 
and be certain to give both the old and new address. 
Inoculation Pays 
To get full value from legume 
crops the seed must be inoculated. 
When inoculated these crops gath¬ 
er rich fertilizing material from 
the air and store them in the soil. 
Inoculation now costs but little 
and it will pay big dividends on 
the investment.
