W E herewith take pleasure in submitting to you our THIRTY-SEVENTH 
ANNUAL CATALOGUE for the year 1938. It will be found to contain 
only the best varieties of seed now grown. 
OUR SEEDS are all fresh and reliable. Nothing is more essential to 
successful farming and gardening than good seed. With a full appreciation 
of this fact we offer only tried seeds of undoubted purity.

BY EXPRESS. At places where the express companies have offices, any 
of our goods can be ordered through their agents, who will furnish blanks for 
the purpose, saving postage and trouble. No charge whatever is made by 
the express companies for their services other than the usual rate for carry¬ 
ing goods. 
HOW TO ORDER — REMITTANCES. Orders should be accompanied with 
remittance or good reference. This saves much trouble and confusion during 
the hurrying season. The safest way is to send by registered letter, post- 
office order or express, except for sums of less than one dollar, for which we 
accept stamps. Be particular to give name and post-office address full and 
distinctly. 
WARRANTING SEEDS. We are sometimes asked if we warrant seeds, 
and we wish to say here that we do not. We use our best endeavors to have 
all the seeds we sell of the best quality and description, and we hope our long 
experience in the business has gained for us a trustworthy reputation. But, 
although we test the vitality of our seeds, and truly believe that they are of 
the best stock, yet we know from practical experience that seeds and crops 
may fail from numerous causes and contingencies which the most careful and 
experienced cultivators cannot control. 
We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, pro¬ 
ductiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, 
and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does 
not accept the goods on these terms they are at once to be returned. 
Prices listed in this catalogue are subject to change without notice.
