R.B.BUCHANAN SEED CQ g&g MEMPHIS,TENNESSEE. 
READ CAREFULLY DIRECTIONS FOR ORDERING 
LIBERAL PREMIUMS—Please bear in mind that on seeds in packets and ounces only (no quarter-pounds, pounds or two 
pounds), the purchaser may select 25 cents’ worth extra on each dollar sent. This does not apply to orders for collections, prices of 
which are net. See this Premium Offer on Yellow Order Sheet in front of catalog. 
CASH WITH ORDER—Please send money with order sufficient to cover the whole bill and remit by express, postal money 
order or check. We advise against C. O. D. orders because of delays and high collection charges, which are unsatisfactory to the 
customer and expensive to us if uncalled for and returned at our expense. We accept C. O. D. orders for seeds when 25 per cent 
of the order amount is paid in advance. The deposit is meant to cover collection and return charges in case the order is not called 
for and paid for by the customer. 
FREE DELIVERY BY MAIL—We pay postage to any postoffice in the United States on all Vegetable and Flower Seeds quoted 
in this catalog, except when quoted on Yellow Price List. The Parcel Post delivery being so convenient for those living away from 
their postoffice, especially during their busy planting season, we have tried to quote all items in this catalog Post Paid in small 
quantities, and will quote any other items prepaid to you if you will list the goods you want, saying you want all transportation 
charges paid to you. Read pages 4 and 5, study the parcel post map, figure your postage and save money. Sending coins, bills, or 
stamps through the mail is safe and convenient. Customers have been sending money in coins and bills to us through U. S. mails 
for 40 years. 
ERRORS—While we exercise care in filling orders, yet in the press of business errors sometimes will be made, in which event 
we wish to be promptly notified of the fact and will make such corrections as will be entirely satisfactory. Customers should be 
very clear and explicit in making out all orders, and thereby help us to avoid errors. Please keep copies of all orders for comparison. 
PLANTS, BULBS AND SLIPS—Plants, bulbs and slips are seldom forwarded on the same day with seeds ordered at the same 
time. They are packed separately and sometimes are delayed. 
YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS—Always be sure to give both; we have hundreds of orders, either unsigned or without address, 
awaiting identification. If you have not received the seeds you ordered, probably yours is among them. 
NON-WARRANTY—R. B. Buchanan Seed Co., Inc., give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, produc¬ 
tiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, plants, fertilizers, insecticides, etc., they send out and will not in any way be 
responsible for the crop. Purity and germination, when given, are the results of tests, but are without warranty. If the purchaser 
does not accept the goods on these terms, they are to be returned at once and the amount paid for them will be refunded.
