CAN NELLS’ SEED GUIDE, 1914. 
A FEW POINTS WORTH ATTENTION. 
FREE CARRIAGE OF SEEDS . —We send all Vegetable and Flower Seeds carriage paid to any place in the United Kingdom, excepting, 
Peas and Beans, Potatoes. Artichokes, and special quotations, when any or all of these are ordered ill small quantities, as in many such 
cases the carriage nearly, if not quite, absorbs the value of the goods. 
Potatoes and Sundries, &c., are only sent free if the value amounts to 20?. in England, and 40s. in Scotland and Ireland, and upwards, when we 
send the whole carriage paid. We do not pay carriage on Pot Plants, Trees, Shrubs, or Bulbs ; but extra plants, &c., are added gratis in lieu of carriage. 
EMPTY PACKAGES .—We charge at cost price, and allow two-thirds price if returned in good condition and carriage paid , and must be in all 
cases accompanied with sender’s name and address and advised by post. 
Although every care will be taken in the packing and sending of plants, seeds, &c., risk of every description must be borne by the purchaser 
immediately they are delivered to the Railway Company or Postal Authorities. 
Every article is charged at the vary lowest price. Our object is to give the ready-money buyers the advantages they 
are really entitled to. Io may happen that prices lower than ours may sometimes be quoted. This invariably means 
false economy in a variety of wavs—good things must be looked after by good men, who must be fairly paid, and 
good strains are only procured by unceasing labour and care. 
Full instructions as to the proper mode of forwarding must accompany each order, as it is calculated to expedite transit of goods, and saves 
vexatious mistakes. All goods are advised the same day as forwarded, and the invoice posted as soon as possible afterwards. 
Say by what rail. Please to write the address plain and in full on each order. No complaints entertained unless made immediately 
on receipt of goods. 
The. greatest care is exercised , and utmost liberality shown , when the selection of sorts is left to us. 
It is particularly requested that all small orders under 10s. be accompanied with remittance to avoid the 
necessity of Booking', and very often the trouble of rendering: and even re-rendering several times to our 
loss and probable annoyance to our Customers. 
Cash with order is a sound way of doing business, and it enables us to give you advantages 
in our goods and also prices. 
All Orders by Post will be dealt with precisely as if given personally. Those who send above their value 
will have additional put in to make up the full amount. 
We have every facility for keeping a large stock of everything enumerated in this Catalogue , and are therefore detennined to adopt the system 
of quick sale and ready money. 
SEEDS AND BULBS FOR EXPORT —All these are specially selected for Export Orders, and carefully and securely packed in tin-lined 
cases. Plants in suitable boxes. 
Our establishments are open for business, &c., from 6 o’clock a.m. until 6 p.m., and 5 o’clock p.m. on Saturday. 
No visitors admitted on Saturday evenings and Sundays. Closed on all Bank Holidays. 
Customers are particularly requested, when sending orders for friends (with their own), to do so on separate papers, 
with each address written plainly, to prevent mistakes. 
When Special Quotations are given , Customers are kindly requested to mention such. 
To avoid delay and disappointment, all business communications must be sent direct to the firm 
addressed “ H. CANNELL & SONS,” otherwise they will remain unnoticed. 
Telegraphic Address: “ CANNELL, Eynsford,” Telephone, No. 24, Farningham. 
Post Office and Postal Orders to be made payable at Eynsford, Kent, and crossed “& Co.” 
All Cheques to be made payable to H. CANNELL & SONS, and crossed Martin’s Bank. 
Not as in co-operative societies, do we demand payment beforehand, unless from unknown correspondents, when satisfactory references to bankers, 
or some person already known, arc equally acceptable. So as to encourage quick returns and but small profits, we allow 5 per cent, discount (excepting 
* oiled ions of Seeds, which are strictly nett) on all payments made within 14 days of date of invoice, but after that date must be remitted in full 
When special prices are quoted, accounts are payable one month from date of invoice and no discount. We cannot undertake to send a receipt for payments 
under 2s. 6d., unless the return postage is sent us. 
We hope all customers will apprise us of change of address, thus saving the annoyance to them of redirection by postal officials ; a halfpenny card 
would thus save us a shilling, and often pounds. Should any Customers not receive our Catalogues at the usual seasons of the year, we shall be pleased 
to send copies of same upon hearing from them. Many are lost in transit. 
*T" I ET _We grow our own Seeds, and every possible pains taken, and the strictest attention is paid to have ane 
1 ^ ^ 1 1 ^ * supply every item as per Catalogue; but there are so many always anxious to rush into litigation for the 
sake of compensation for any trifle, and failures which may occur over which perhaps we have no control, that we ard 
compelled to issue this notice : — 
CONDITIONS OF SALE _ We be,ieve tbat aM Seeds, Bulbs and Roots sold by us are of the description 
..... . and kind S p ec if, ed by us at the time of sale; but owing to the practical 
impossibility, in many cases, of being certain of this, we give no undertaking that such Seeds, Bulbs or Roots will correspond 
with the description under which they are sold, and we make all sales subject to this condition. We further give no Warranty, 
express or implied, as to their growth, description, quality or productiveness, and will not be in any way responsible for the 
Crop. If the Purchaser does not accept the goods sold to him on these terms, they are at once to be returned to us. (These 
conditions will be found in all Seed Catalogues.) 
We have received intimation from the various Railway Companies that for the future they will 
not pay any claims for damage or delay of goods sent at “Owner’s Risk” rates; we therefore beg to 
inform our customers that our responsibility ceases as soon as goods are delivered into the hands of 
the Railway Company, and, in justice to ourselves, we cannot supply otherwise than on these conditions. 
All goods forwarded at “Owner’s Risk” effect a great saving in cost of carriage, and which we consider 
of great interest to our patrons; we shall therefore continue to dispatch parcels at “ Owner’s Risk” 
unless specially requested to forward them at “Company” Risk.
