OUR TERMS OF BUSINESS 
All seeds, but not bulbs or plants, are sent postpaid. 
Safe arrival is guaranteed. 
We try to send out only good seeds, but we cannot 
control the conditions of planting. We give no war¬ 
ranty, express or implied, as to description, qualify, 
productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, 
bulbs, or plants we sell, and we will not be respon¬ 
sible for the crop. 
Please remit by money order if possible, or by per¬ 
sonal check. Order minimum should be fifty cents. 
No C. O. D. shipments made. Stamps will be accepted 
fo r small amounts only. 
It must be definitely noted that we cannot undertake to 
fill any order for plants and (or) bulbs that does not 
amount to one dollar value. Due to fixed overhead and to 
packing costs, smaller orders would be filled at an actual 
direct loss to us. If we are to serve you without profit, 
you will have to get us a government subsidy first.

MOORESTOWN, NEW JERSEY 
(or Merchantville) 
NEW ADDRESS — In order to unify our work, 
and to eliminate loss of time in supervision, we de¬ 
cided this last spring to bring all operations to one 
place We have accordingly erected a new building 
on our Old Orchard Seed Farm and Nursery at 
Moorestown, and this building now houses our offices, 
order-filling, seed-drying, cleaning and bulb de¬ 
partments. It will, we hope, enable us to serve our 
customers with greater promptness and efficiency. 
The Seed-farm and Seed-house are located on Bridge- 
boro Road, about one and one-eighth miles from the 
residential section of Moorestown, but within the 
municipal limits. To reach Bridgeboro Road, leave 
Main St. of Moorestown on Chester Ave., and turn 
right at first flicker light. Visitors always welcome. 
Please send mail simply to Moorestown, no street 
address, or you can still write us at Merchantville 
if you prefer, for we shall continue to receive mail 
at the Merchantville postoffice also. Incidentally, 
Moorestown is a New Jersey suburb of Philadelphia, 
served by short-interval local bus service from 
Philadelphia business section. 
AUTUMN SOWING 
Seeds of certain rockery and border perennials, of many 
bulbs, shrubs, and trees seem to be benefited by a period of 
exposure to low temperature. The best way to handle 
such seeds is to sow them in open ground seed beds, or in 
cold frames, in late autumn. The seed bed should be lightly 
mulched with peat moss, straw or litter during the colder 
months, to keep it from drying out, and to prevent frost 
heaving. 
WINTER SOWING 
Sowing may be done just as long as the ground can be 
worked. In the North this usually means November or 
December, but in regions with open winters, sowings may 
also be made in January and February, or even in early 
March. Wherever you may live, should the ground freeze 
before you can sow, you may simulate actual ground sow¬ 
ing with much the same benefit by stratifying alternate 
layers of seeds and damp sand or peat moss. 
SEEDS OF RARE PLANTS 
Our general seed catalog now offers seeds of about 3000 
uncommon plants having ornamental or economic value. 
Included are a large number of kinds that either may, or 
should, be sown in late autumn for spring germination. 
These kinds are marked with the key letters “y” or “h.” 
In making up your seed order, please be sure to check 
through the general catalog for such, as well as through 
the present folder. The latest general catalog is No. 31. 
All old customers are supposed to have a copy, but if you 
have mislaid or given away yours, we shall be glad to send 
another.
