Please Notice 
Orders at prices in this Catalog will be filled only for those en¬ 
gaged in the florist, landscape gardening, and market gardening 
business, or others entitled to such prices. We reserve the right to 
refuse to fill orders for others not entitled to these prices. 
As a protection to our customers who are entitled to wholesale or 
florists’ prices, we ask that they do not lend this Catalog to persons 
not entitled thereto. It will save us considerable embarrassment. 
Tell them to send for our “Seed Book”—free upon request. 
We Welcome Charge Accounts 
We invite you to take advantage of a charge account with us. So 
that no time will be lost in executing your first order, please refer, 
preferably, to someone in either your own or our line of business with 
whom you have a charge account. This frequently saves delay. 
Discounts 
On bills for Flower Seeds, Vegetable Seeds, and Bulbs, a discount 
of 2 per cent for payment 10 days from date of bill may be de¬ 
ducted; 5 per cent cash discount is allowed on all orders of Flower 
Seeds and 3 per cent cash discount on all orders of Vegetable Seeds 
and Bulbs when remittance accompanies the order, unless on items 
specially quoted or priced. Cash discount above does not apply to 
dealers’ orders, unless so stated in quotations or otherwise. All other 
goods are strictly net, as are also bills for goods supplied under special 
quotations unless otherwise agreed upon. 
Conditions of Sales 
All contracts, sales, and acknowledgments of orders are con¬ 
tingent upon crop failure, our ability to import and make deliveries 
in conformity with the “Plant Quarantine Act,” partial deliveries by 
growers or manufacturers, strikes, or other unavoidable causes 
beyond our control, clerical errors included; also unsatisfactory 
credit standing. All quotations are subject to market changes and 
goods being unsold on receipt of order. 
Forwarding Service 
We pay postage on all orders for Vegetable and Flower Seeds 
provided the order calls for packets, ounces, quarter pounds, or 
pounds (beans, corn, peas and grass seeds, bulbs, plants and sundries 
are not included). If these are wanted by mail, remit for postage 
the amount named in connection with the item to the first and second 
zones; for other zones add additional postage. All postage is charged 
on dealers’ orders regardless of items ordered. 
Parcel Post Rates 
On Seeds, Bulbs, Plants or Roots not exceeding eight (8) ounces 
in weight, the postage charge is lc. for each two (2) ounces or fraction 
thereof; on sundries or other merchandise not exceeding eight (8) 
ounces in weight, the postage charge is l^c. for each two (2) ounces 
or fraction thereof. Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, Roots, Sundries, etc., 
weighing over eight (8) ounces, are sent at zone rates. 
If Special Delivery is wanted, an additional 15c. is required on 
packages weighing up to two (2) pounds—25c. on packages weighing 
more than two (2) pounds and up to ten (10) pounds—35c. on pack¬ 
ages weighing more than ten (10) pounds, which also includes special 
handling and transportation as first-class mail. 
If remittance accompanies order, a sufficient amount should be 
included to cover the extra charges—if ordered to be sent by either 
of the methods as stated above. 
We do not make shipments of Plants or Cold-Storage Bulbs 
C. O. D., and shipments of goods C. O. D. outside of our automobile 
delivery limits can only be made that way provided a partial remit¬ 
tance is sent with the order to guarantee that the goods will be 
accepted on arrival. 
Important Notice 
All shipments of plants, perishable stock, and cold-storage bulbs 
are made at buyer’s risk only. 
If such shipments arrive in bad condition, accept them and re¬ 
ceipt for them accordingly, and make claim for your loss on the 
transportation company. We, of course, will hold ourselves ready 
to assist you in any possible way. It has been found that claims can 
be collected more readily by the person receiving the goods than by 
the shipper. 
Our custom to guarantee the actual arrival of goods (except at 
points where there is no Freight or Express agent) will still be con¬ 
tinued, and claims for loss or non-arrival of merchandise not perish¬ 
able will, as in the past, be cared for by us, so you run no risk of 
having to make claims for lost goods. 
Henry F. Michell Co. give no warranty, expressed or implied, as 
to the description, purity or productiveness of any seeds, plants or 
bulbs they send out, and they cannot be in any way responsible for 
the crop. If the customer does not accept the goods on these terms, 
he must notify us at once, and we will give instructions for dis¬ 
position of goods.
