Prices 
RICES quoted in this list go into effect imme¬ 
diately, superseding all previous quotations. 
As you will notice, we have discontinued the 
quarter-pound price. All orders of 4 ounces or 
over will be charged at the pound rate; all orders 
under 4 ounces will be charged at the ounce 
rate. We have eliminated charges on all bags 
up to the one-pound size (5"x7 1 /2 ,/ ). 
Shipping Information 
Domestic: Time is important. Many of our 
customers use the Air Mail exclusively to save 
time and get the most possible out of our rapid 
order filling and delivery service. We suggest 
that you do the same. If your order is sent to us 
by Air Mail from the east coast it arrives the 
second day, is filled the same day it arrives and 
if shipped by Parcel Post seed will reach you 
within seven days from the time the order left 
your office. Correspondingly less time is needed 
when shorter distances are covered. For faster 
delivery, seeds shipped by Air Mail or Air Ex¬ 
press will reach you within four days from the 
time your order is sent to us. For the greatest 
possible saving in time, send your order by wire to be shipped by air; seeds will 
arrive within two to three days from the time ordered. 
Contrary to the general impression, Air Express is not expensive. Rates are 
calculated on the basis of half pounds, and are very close to the ordinary Parcel 
Post rates. Air Mail, which is more expensive, is calculated on an ounce basis 
and goes as first class mail. Air transportation is no longer in the experimental 
stage; it is an established fact—safe, sure and economical. 
Regarding rail shipments, both Parcel Post and Express will take 4 to 5 days 
to reach the east coast. When the shipment is over 10 pounds in weight it is 
cheaper to ship by express, but when it is less than 10 pounds Parcel Post is 
cheaper. Parcel Post packages marked "Special Delivery" are given first class 
mail service and will go through practically as fast as first class matter. 
Shipments of 75 pounds or over can be sent most economically by Freight. 
Package cars leave Los Angeles twice a week, arriving in Chicago the 7th morn¬ 
ing and in New York the 10th morning. Contract orders and others placed con¬ 
siderably in advance of the time needed should be sent by Freight. 
Foreign: We urge our foreign customers to use the Air Mails when sending 
rush orders. Although there is as yet no regular Air Mail service across the 
Atlantic, there is a great saving in time on both sides of the ocean, and Air Mail 
letters are given preference over regular mail in all handlings. There is a place 
for Air Mail even with our Australian customers. If a fast boat has been missed, 
Air Mail will catch it a few hundred miles out at sea and save many days delay. 
When sending orders by cable, we suggest the use of our number code to cut 
down on words and expense. Five numbers in a unit may be sent for the cost of 
one word, a rate which reduces costs considerably.
