W E herewith take pleasure in submitting to you our THIRTY-EIGHTH 
ANNUAL CATALOGUE for the year 1939. 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 suc¬ 
cessful 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 ex¬ 
press companies for their services other than the usual rate for carrying 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 ex¬ 
perience in the business has gained for us a trustworthy reputation. But, al¬ 
though 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 experi¬ 
enced cultivators cannot control. 
We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, produc¬ 
tiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, and 
we will not be in any way reponsible 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.
