Shipping Information 
Domestic: Time is impor¬ 
tant. Many of our customers 
use the Air Mail exclusively to 
save time and get the most 
possible out of our rapid order 
filling and delivery service. 
We suggest that you do the 
same. If your order is sent to 
us by Air Mail from the east 
coast it arrives the second day, 
is filled the same day it arrives 
and if shipped by Parcel Post 
seed will reach you within 
seven days from the time the 
order left your office. Corre¬ 
spondingly less time is needed 
when shorter distances are 
covered. For faster delivery, 
seeds shipped by Air Mail or 
Air Express will reach you 
within four days from the time 
your order is sent to us. For 
the greatest possible saving in 
time, send your order by wire 
to be shipped by air; seeds will 
arrive within two to three days from the time ordered

Contrary to the general impression, Air Express is not expensive. Rates are 
calculated on the basis of half pounds, and are very close to the ordinary Parcel 
Post rates. Air Mail, which is more expensive, is calculated on an ounce basis 
and goes as first class mail. Air transportation is no longer in the experimental 
stage; it is an established fact—safe, sure and economical. 
Regarding rail shipments, both Parcel Post and Express will take 4 to 5 days 
to reach the east coast. When the shipment is over 10 pounds in weight it is 
cheaper to ship by express, but when it is less than 10 pounds, Parcel Post is 
cheaper. Parcel Post packages marked "Special Delivery" are given first class 
mail service and will go through practically as fast as first class matter. 
Shipments of 75 pounds or over can be sent most economically by Freight. 
Package cars leave Los Angeles twice a week, arriving in Chicago the 7th morn¬ 
ing and in New York the 10th morning. Contract orders and others placed con¬ 
siderably in advance of the time needed should be sent by Freight. 
Foreign: We urge our foreign customers to use the Air Mails when sending 
rush orders. Although there is as yet no regular Air Mail service across the 
Atlantic, there is a great saving in time on both sides of the ocean, and Air Mail 
letters are given preference over regular mail in all handlings. 
When sending orders by cable, we suggest the use of our number code to cut 
down on words and expense. Five numbers in a unit may be sent for the cost of 
one word, a rate which reduces costs considerably.
