Important to Customers 
ORDER EARLY.—We would suggest that customers send us their orders as soon as possible after receiving 
this catalog, and thus avoid the rush of the planting season. It frequently happens that some articles are not in 
stock when orders are received. In such cases we forward such as are ready, and the balance as soon as possible. 
STOCK SEED.—A large part of our seeds are grown for us on contract by special growers, from our own 
stock, and in locations best suited for their development. Others are secured from strictly reliable sources, and 
constant effort is made to secure only the best. 
ADDRESS, ETC.—Give name of your Post Office, County and State, sign your name plainly; also specify 
means of conveyance preferred—whether by parcel post, express or freight. 
SHIPPING.—We deliver free to Express, Railroad or Boat. All goods travel at the buyer’s risk, our responsi¬ 
bility ceases when we take the carrier’s receipt. If goods are damaged so sign for them and enter claim with the 
carrier at once. Free delivery, see page 62. 
BAGS AND PACKING.—No charge is made for boxes or packing on anything, except Flower Pots, Nursery 
Stock and Hotbed Sash, and this at cost only. Cloth Bags are charged for at cost and if returned in good condi¬ 
tion, charges prepaid, will be credited at price charged. 
TERMS ARE NET CASH.—All bills on which 
short credits are allowed are due on the first of 
the month succeeding the date of the purchase. 
All statements of description and analyses on the 
label or in advertising matter or otherwise of seeds 
sold or offered for sale by this vender are based on 
competent tests of a representative sample of the 
lot sold and delivered and not otherwise. Except 
as hereinabove expressly provided, the Thomas J. 
Grey Company gives no warranty, express or im¬ 
plied, as to description, quality, productiveness or 
any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants it 
sells, and will not be responsible for the crop. If 
the purchaser does not accept the goods on these 
terms, they must at once be returned. 
GARDENERS’ AND SUPERINTENDENTS’ SITUATIONS. We have at all times the names of practical 
gardeners and superintendents in want of situations on our books. If parties desiring such will write us, we shall 
be glad to put them in communication with men whom we deem suitable. To aid us in making a selection we ask 
full particulars. We make no charge for this service.
