SAVE MONEY BY PARCEL POST. READ THIS. 
Seeds, plants and bulbs are now covered by the commercial rates, except that all under 
8 ozs. are charged 1 cent for each 2 ounces or fraction. 
In our desire to give patrons full advantage of parcel post we have made a new de¬ 
parture and now give our customers who so wish the privilege of ordering seeds by parcel 
post at freight frices, plus the actual postage, figured on one-pound lots and up. To illus¬ 
trate our meaning, suppose Mr. Jones of Albany, orders 10 lbs. of corn seed by mail and 
our freight price is 30c per lb. This is the second zone, or Sc for the first one pound and 1 
cent for each additional pound. He should, thefefore, remit us $3.00 for the corn and IT 
postage. 
This may be applied to any zone according to the rates. In case, however, that our 
customers are not sure of the rate and zone, they may send what is certain to cover the 
postage and we will return stamps for any overrun. 
In the latter case mark on your order “Postage Allowance” with amount inclosed. 
This offer applies only to 1-pound or more and will be made only where specified by the 
customer.
