SUGGESTIONS FOR ORDERING 
What We Do and What You Should Do 
ORDER NOW —in January or February if possible 
before the spring rush begins. March and April are 
our busy months and our full force works day and 
night at high speed. Now to help both you and us we 
will allow a ten per cent discount on all orders of 
$1.00 or more in one order (except collections, field 
seeds and fertilizers, which are net), that are received 
up to March first. Every order filled during January 
and February helps us just that much and we are 
passing this on to you. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY—Remittances can be sent 
safely by Post Office Money Order, Bank Draft, 
Express Money Order, Check or by Registered Letter. 
We accept stamps for small amounts. Be sure you 
register your letters if they contain cash. Money 
orders are the most economical and practical means of 
remitting. 
RETURNING MONEY—If we cannot fill your 
order for any item we will at once return the money 
sent for same. We will not keep your money without 
adequate returns to you, send you due bill or substitute 
something you do not want. 
CORRESPONDENCE—We try to give prompt atten¬ 
tion to all proper letters of inquiry, etc., but ask, as a 
favor, that all questions be stated clearly and briefly, 
and not on order sheets. 
THIS IS OUR SILENT SALESMAN—He calls on 
you once or perhaps twice. We know you are always 
pleased to see him—he is sent out to make sales. If 
you want him to call again, favor him with an order. 
We know he has something you will want and he also 
gives you a lot of information. 
OUR TERMS ARE STRICTLY CASH WITH THE ORDER 
We do not send C. O. D., as the cost of collecting return charges is quite an unnecessary item of expense and 
the prices being given, we can conceive of no necessity to warrant goods being so sent. 
NAME AND ADDRESS SHOULD ALWAYS BE GIVEN 
Frequently we receive unsigned letters. Sometimes they contain money and orders. Sometimes, too, letters 
are received in which the name of the town is left out and the postmark is blurred. We cannot fill orders unless 
we know the name and address of the buyer. The easiest way for you is to use our order sheet, filling in the blanks. 
GUARANTEE 
Seeds of the best quality are apt to fail through improper treatment by sowing the seed too deep or too 
shallow, in too wet or too dry soil. They differ greatly as to the temperature required for germination. Some will 
germinate rapidly at a certain temperature, while others, if sown under the same conditions, are apt to decay, 
and for all these reasons it is impractical to guarantee seeds. I give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to de¬ 
scription, quality, productiveness, or any other matter, of any seeds, bulbs or plants sent out, and 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. BUTZER’S SEED STORE. 
TO MY GARDENING FRIENDS 
It is always a pleasure to us when our annual catalog is ready for mailing, to review our records for the 
past years and find on our books hundreds of familiar names that indicate years of pleasant business relations. 
It is also a pleasure to anticipate with each new catalog the addition of many new customers on our list. It will 
be our endeavor, as it has been for over a quarter of a century to care for each order we receive in such a man¬ 
ner that business will result with satisfaction for both our customers and ourselves.
