Seed Annual for 1936 
O UR business was established in 1897. This is, therefore, the thirty-eighth annual edition of our Catalogue. 
In it we describe new and improved varieties of Flower and Vegetable Seeds, Lawn and Farm 
Seeds of extreme purity, Bulbs, Plants and Shrubs grown on our own farms, Fertilizers of our own 
manufacture, and horticultural requisites. Always striving for high quality, we solicit the interest alike 
of estate owners and superintendents, members of garden clubs, discriminating amateur gardeners, 
commercial growers, and florists; in short, to all those cultivators, whether they garden for pleasure or 
profit, who realize the importance of selected strains, and reliability in the Seeds they sow. 
We take this opportunity to thank those who have traded with us in the past (thousands of you 
regularly for many years), and to solicit the business of our readers for 1936. 
You will find order-blanks at page 112; note that we include a 
special blank for plants and nursery stock, because these are dis¬ 
patched from our nurseries at the proper planting season; while 
we aim to ship seeds and bulbs the same day your order reaches 
us, unless you wish otherwise. Time will be saved if orders and 
correspondence are sent to our New York headquarters. 
A Check, Bank Draft, Post-Office or Express Money Order 
should accompany your order, and if you send currency, be 
sure to use registered mail. 
We will be glad to ship seeds, bulbs, and fertilizers C. O. D., if 
you wish, but this does not apply to perishable goods, like shrubs 
or plants, which we cannot send C. O. D. We are glad to open 
charge accounts on receipt of the usual trade references. 
Our prices are net, with no discounts; they are always subject 
to change without notice. 
We make no charge for packing domestic shipments, except 
where special bags are necessary—heavy cotton, seamless, burlap 
and the like. We charge these at cost, but allow full credit 
when they are returned to us, prepaid, with the sender’s name 
and address marked on the bundle. 
We are well equipped to make shipments to distant points, 
through our Export Department, which will take care of the 
proper packing, delivery to steamer, and the preparation of the 
necessary documents. Purchaser pays actual charges for trans¬ 
portation and special packing for export shipments. 
NON-WARRANTY. In accordance with the established custom 
of the Seed Trade, we, Stumpp & Walter Co., give no warranty, 
express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any 
other matter of any seeds, bulbs, or plants we send out, and will not 
be responsible for the crop. 
Experienced Gardeners realize that when failures occur—and 
they should happen but rarely—they usually are due, not to the 
Seed but to some circumstances of cultivation, soil or climate over 
which the Seedsman has no control. 
Any claim as to shortage, etc., should be made promptly, and it 
will be adjusted to your satisfaction. Claims should be made within 
10 days of receipt of goods; we cannot consider complaints made 
after this date.
