WHEN AND HOW TO ORDER 
Send in your combined orders for seeds, plants, supplies, etc., at once. We are pre¬ 
pared to fill orders as soon as this catalog reaches you. If you want part or all of your 
order held, state it distinctly with date when shipment is to be made. All orders for 
potatoes, plants, and other perishable goods are carefully booked on receipt, and filled in 
rotation as soon as weather permits. If shipped early, they are at buyer’s risk. 
Use Our Order Blanks —Fill out the spaces, giving postoffice and shipping point. 
It is best not to write letters on the same sheet as your order. Do not forget to sign 
your name. 
Larger Orders —Any dealer, market gardener, institution or individual wishing seed 
in larger quantities, is requested to mail us a list of what is wanted, and we will promptly 
return it with the very lowest market prices. A letter of inquiry may save you dollars 
if you want to buy in quantity. 
Prepay Stations —When you send in orders to go by freight or express, be sure 
that you add money enough to pay the charges if your station is a prepay point which 
is always the case where there is no regular agent.

doing business, tell everyone. If you are not, tell us, so we can please you. Our best 
efforts will be put forth in filling ail orders carefully and promptly in a way that will
