SUPERIOR SEEDS, PLANTS, BULBS, Etc.

with dealers, storekeepers, etc. — we are able to supply, 
at the lowest possible prices, THE BEST SEEDS

successful competition for the dealer's trade continually 
demands.

panies have purchasing departments in all their offices. They 
make no charge, other than usual rates, for returning goods.

accompany the order. 
Give full shipping instructions on each and every order

Charge orders from unknown parties not accompanied with 
reference will be delayed pending the usual investigation. 
Be sure to sign your name and give your address. Many 
orders reach us lacking either or both; customers when writing 
about unsigned orders will aid us in identification by mentioning 
some of the articles ordered. 
Every order is filled the day after arrival, or is acknowl¬ 
edged if, under rare circumstances, its shipment is likely to be 
delayed. If goods, notification of shipment or acknowledgment 
of order is not received by the customer after a reasonable lapse 
of time, it may be assumed that the order has miscarried, or 
that the name or address was omitted from the order. We will, 
when notified of such , use our best efforts to trace it without delav.

or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any 
other matter of any Seeds, Bulbs or Plants they send out, and

BEWARE OF FRAUDULENT TRAVELING AGENTS.— 
Every season we have complaints from different sections of the 
country of parties who fraudulently represent us and collect 
money in our name. All remittances should be sent direct to 
our firm. 
GARDENERS AND HEAD=FARMERS’ SITUATIONS.— 
We have at all times a number of practical gardeners and farm 
managers’ names on our book who are in want of situations. 
If parties desiring such will write to us we shall be glad to put 
them in communication with men that we deem suitable. To 
aid us in making a selection we ask full particulars, whether a 
married or single man is wanted and the nature of the situation 
to be filled, also about what they expect to pay and any other 
particulars. We make no charge for this service, either to 
employer or employee.
