Big Money Saving Proposition to Market 
Gardeners and Large Planters 
The More Seed You Buy from Thes e Wholesale Prices the Less You Pay per Pound 
Here is the easy and simple method to use in figuring 
the postage on all purchases you make from these Mar¬ 
ket Gardeners Special Wholesale Prices as shown on pages 
96, 97, 98 and 99. 
In figuring the cost of postage on your seeds from 
these special not prepaid prices, figure up the total num¬ 
ber of pounds of the seed ordered and add one pound 
additional for packing, on quantities of 25 lbs. total or 
less and two pounds additional on packing for 50 lb. or¬ 
ders. Ascertain what postal zone you live in from Rock¬ 
ford by referring to the list below and then all you have 
to do is to follow this simple rule. For example: The 
total weight of the seeds you desire to order from these 
special prices on pages 96, 97, 98 and 99, total 24 lbs., add 
one pound for packing making 25 lbs. total weight. Sup¬ 
pose you live in the third zone from Rockford. Running 
down on the chart below to the 25 lb. quantity and coming 
out to the right to the second column you will find the post¬ 
age for the entire shipment only 57c. This same principle 
applies either on larger quantities or into any of the 
postal zones that you may reside in from Rockford. 
In making your remittance, be sure to include not only 
the cost of the seed but also the cost of the postage.
