OUR CHIEF NOVELTY. 
THE CARTER MULTIPLE UNIT SYSTEM. 
For the convenience of our customers when ordering Seeds, and checking our bills, and to expedite the 
execution of orders, we have allotted registered numbers to all Seeds offered in this Catalog, as it is much 
easier to write “No. 6—20 cents,” than “one ounce Carters Crimson Ball Beet—20 cents.” We therefore 
urgently request our customers to order by number and price only. 
All Vegetable and Flower Seeds are offered by weight, measure, or number of Seeds, according to circum- 
stances, packets containing unstated quantities being practically eliminated. 
Large Seeds, such as Peas, Beans, Corn, &c., are offered by the £ pint, | pint, pint, and quart. Small 
oeeds by the -A- oz., $ oz., £ oz., £ oz., £ oz., i oz., £ lb., and I lb. Flower seeds and very choice Vegetable 
Seeds are offered by number of seeds. 
By packing and offering our Seeds as above, our customers can buy as many seeds as they require, an 
innovation which we believe will be very popular, and much appreciated. 
The system has simplified our packing and shipping departments to such an extent that we have been able 
to reduce our prices substantially.

It is very difficult to sow small Seeds evenly. We when sowing our crops always divide the ground 
and seed up in equal portions, and as we propose to supply our Seeds in small units if requested, our 
customers will be able to adopt the same principle.

CO-OPERATIVE 
BUYING. 
CARTEMTEftTFn Carters Tested Seeds have been extensively grown in the United States of America and the Dominion of 
SEEDS. , “ l “ Canada for nearly a century, and the fact that we have supplied the Royal and Noble Houses of England 
for this period is proof conclusive that Carters Tested Seeds are the best. 
carters 1 tested ??. e< ? s offered by Carters Tested Seeds, Inc., are grown, tested, packed, and sealed at the Royal Seed 
seeds. Establishment at Raynes Park, London, England, with the exception of purely American-grown stocks 
which we obtain from growers of repute and integrity. 
A cash discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed on all Vegetable and Flower Seed orders of the value of 1 00 
or more, when accompanied by cash. We make this offer in order to reduce our book-keeping and 
billing expenses, but it does not apply to charge orders or to any other goods. 
The smallest quantity of Seeds offered of all varieties are scientifically calculated to give a good sowing 
and supply a good plant, or stand under ordinary conditions, and although some packets may seem to 
contain a great many Seeds, one must make allowance for the vagaries of the weather, the size of the seeds 
and the destruction done by insects of all sorts. 
The Carter Multiple Unit System is an economical system, and we cannot undertake to break away from it 
and supply half-packets, nor can we agree to take any packets back opened or unopened.
