STERI LOAM 
■^1_r 
MAKES EVERY GOOD SEED GROW 
Gardeners everywhere have realized that the use 
of sterilized soil is the only way to get 100 per cent 
results in the germination of seeds. With the use of 
STERILOAM (the balanced seedling soil) results 
are guaranteed. 
STERILOAM is free from weed seeds. Seedlings 
will not damp off. 
If you want to prevent seed-losses—if you want 
your seeds to develop into healthy, hardy plants— 
strong, virile and true to type—use Duckham’s 
STERILOAM. And you will find it just as good for 
house-plants of every description; in flower-pots for 
prize plants; in growing plants of all kinds for display 
or competitive shows; and in the greenhouse. 
STERILOAM is put up in 10-pound cans, 25-, 
50-, and 100-pound bags. A trial will convince you 
that your seed-germination will be a revelation to you. 
Send orders direct to William C. Duckham 
Company or ask your favorite seed-store for it.

Business Terms and Shipping Instructions 
To insure early deliveries of Roses and Hardy Plants, and to avoid 
disappointments, it is necessary to order early. 
Payments. Cash or satisfactory references required from all corre¬ 
spondents unknown to me. 
Plants by Parcel Post. If to be sent by parcel post, add postage as 
follows: Single plants, 5 cts.; 3 plants, 10 cts.; 6 plants, 15 cts.; 
12 plants, 25 cts. I accept no responsibility for delays or conditions 
that may prove injurious to the contents. 
Plants by Express. I recommend this mode of transit for more than 
18 to 24 plants. All orders are carefully packed by expert hands, 
but I accept no responsibility for delays over which I have no 
control that may cause injury to the contents. I can make no 
adjustments unless complaints are made within five days after 
receipt of goods. Always state how you wish your order shipped, 
express or parcel post. Express rates reduced 25 per cent. 
Responsibility. Although exercising the utmost care in packing and 
routing orders, I cannot be responsible for damage due to the 
negligence or rough handling of common carriers. If the container 
appears damaged on arrival, sign for it as damaged and make 
claim on the express company. If considerable delay in transit 
would indicate fatal damage to contents, refuse delivery. 
I guarantee my stock to be extra strong, but assume no responsi¬ 
bility after shipment has been made. I also wish to emphasize 
the fact that all roses and plants I send out are vigorous, healthy, 
and true to name. 
All shipments should be opened and unpacked immediately on 
arrival; if dry, the plants should be watered and planted as soon 
as possible. 
Substitution. In ordering, kindly give a second choice, if possible, 
as many varieties are sold out as the planting season progresses. 
In the event that I should be sold out of any variety ordered, I will substitute the nearest variety of equally good stock 
and similar color, unless the order is marked “No Substitution.” 
Order Early- 
^Because now our stocks are complete and 
you may be sure of receiving the best plants.
