BUSINESS TERMS 
We especially invite Charge Accounts. A charge account is more 
convenient than to remit for each order at the time it is sent us; 
you pay no more for your goods by reason of this accommodation. 
As to our responsibility, we refer you to Dun’s or Bradstreet’s 
Mercantile Agency. 
When sending your first charge order, refer preferably to some¬ 
one in either your own or our line of business with whom you have 
a charge account. This frequently saves delays. 
NET CASH ITEMS 
Grain, Clover, Bird, and Farm Seeds, also Fertilizers, are handled 
on very close margins and are sold with no cash discount. 
DISCOUNTS 
On bills for Flower, Vegetable Seeds, and Bulbs, a discount of 
2 per cent for payment io days from date of bill may be deducted; 
if cash accompanies the order, 3 per cent may be deducted on such 
items. All other goods are strictly net, as are also bills for goods 
supplied under special quotation unless otherwise agreed upon. 
All contracts and acknowledgments are contingent upon crop 
failures, partial deliveries by growers or manufacturers, strikes, 
or other unavoidable causes beyond our control, also unsatis¬ 
factory credit standing. All quotations are subject to market 
changes and goods being unsold on receipt of order. Henry F. 
Michell Company endeavors to send out only the very best 
quality of Seeds, Bulbs, and Plants, but cannot guarantee results 
or crops. If customers do not accept goods on the above con¬ 
ditions, they can be returned to us within ten days. 
TRANSPORTATION ADVANTAGES POSSESSED BY 
PHILADELPHIA 
Freight. Philadelphia's transportation facilities are unsurpassed 
by any other city in the United States. The Pennsylvania Railroad, 
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad, Lehigh Valley Railroad, and the 
B. & O. Railroad, all have terminals in Philadelphia. These lines 
offer special facilities and quick transportation to any part of the 
United States. Several of them touch with their own lines the 
extreme North, South, East, and West. Where they do not run 
direct, they have traffic agreements with connecting lines. 
Boat Connections. The Clyde Line Steamship Company, and 
the Merchants & Miners Steamship Company, sail direct from 
Philadelphia for points as far south as Jacksonville, and the con¬ 
nections they have with the Mallory Line serve other extreme south¬ 
ern points. The Merchants & Miners Line also sails direct from 
Philadelphia to Boston, from where it serves points in New Eng¬ 
land. Boat transportation affords one of the quickest and most 
economical ways in existence today for shipping goods. 
Express Service. Philadelphia is served by express service of 
the Adams, Wells-Fargo, and American Express Companies, 
which reach every part of the United States. Goods consigned to 
any point on their lines can be forwarded without transfer. Express 
rates are extremely moderate, compared to what they were, and 
we recommend this service where quick delivery is wanted, and 
especially for the transportation of plants and other perishable 
goods. Seeds, Plants, and Bulbs enjoy a special express rate, 
lower than what is demanded for carrying general merchandise. 
PARCEL POST 
This method provides a quick, reasonably safe, and inexpen¬ 
sive transportation of such goods as will be accepted by Parcel 
Post, such as dower, vegetable, grass, and field seeds and many 
sundries. Liquid preparations cannot be mailed with safety.
