W E WANT OUR CATALOG to be a friendly medium of contact and 
amicable business relations. We have endeavored to give cultural 
directions in conjunction with the various varieties wherever 
possible. 
When we advertise “Pure and Sure Seeds” we mean that our customers 
receive seeds which have been tested under varying conditions prior to 
sale; thus reducing to a minimum the possibility of failure. 
Serving the Market Gardener, Farmer and Amateur for years, we have 
always kept before us the importance of “Pure and Sure Seeds” of the 
highest quality. 
That we have succeeded in our efforts to furnish seeds of this High 
Quality during the years we have been in business is shown by the very 
gratifying increase which our business has shown year by year. We have 
been favored, too, with remarkably loyal support on the part of our cus¬ 
tomers, many of whom started to trade with us years ago and are with 
us yet. To old and new customers alike we are sincerely grateful.

ORDER EARLY 
WE WISH TO IMPRESS UPON YOU THE 
ADVANTAGE OF EARLY ORDERING. It is 
not only a convenience to us but it is also for 
your sake that we request this. Avoid the 
spring rush and have your seeds when you 
want them. They will not spoil, and the delay 
necessarily attendant during the spring will 
be eliminated. You will not be waiting for 
your seeds, when you should be planting. Our 
service will please you even during the busy 
season. Send your order now. 
Remittances should be made by Post Office 
Money Orders, Drafts on St. Louis Banks, or 
Express Money Orders. Where it is not possi¬ 
ble to obtain these, the letter should be regis¬ 
tered. We cannot guarantee receipt of money 
sent in any other way. 
Goods desired C. O. D. must be accompanied 
by a partial remittance to guarantee accept¬ 
ance. 
In filling out your orders always give Ship¬ 
ping Directions, and write Name and Address 
distinctly on each and every order. 
PARCEL POST: Customers on R. P. D. 
routes, and beyond express delivery will aid 
us by stating: “Goods reach us by Parcel Post 
only," to avoid mistakes in sending by express. 
ALL PRICES on VEGETABLE SEEDS are 
net, but on PACKETS, up to 5 LBS. WE PRE¬ 
PAY POSTAGE, EXCEPT WHEN NOTED. 
PURCHASER PAYS TRANSPORTATION on 
Plants, Shrubs, Potatoes, Farm Seeds, Grass 
Seeds, Implements, Sundries and Poultry Sup¬ 
plies; also Seed by gallon, peck and bushel. 
EXPRESS AND FREIGHT CHARGES on 
large quantities are cheaper than Parcel Post. 
We charge no cartage to depots or the Express 
Company offices, nor do we charge for boxes, 
packing or for small muslin bags. 
When seamless cotton bags are required 
they must be remitted for; 25c each. 
THE PRICES QUOTED IN THIS CATALOG 
ARE NET. We reserve the right to advance 
prices without notice should current condi¬ 
tions require it. 
PLEASE NOTE—ABOUT WARRANTING SEEDS 
NON-WAKKANTY. Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes entirely be¬ 
yond our control, such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., 
which renders it impossible for us to guarantee success, and although we take all possible care to sup¬ 
ply only such goods as will, under proper conditions, produce satisfactory results, we still give no 
warranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, 
and will not be in any way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in this 
Catalog will be executed on these conditions only. It must, however, be plain to everyone who gives 
the matter the slightest thought that it is to our best interests to send out only such stock as will 
not only grow, but prove true to name and description.
