SEED DEPARTMENT 
Reid Allen, Department Manager. 
, Our Seed Trade is entirely through this catalog. It is the only agent we employ. We send out no seeds to be 
sold again on commission, but deal direct with the planters; thus devoting all our resources to supplying them 
with the best and finest stocks obtainable at the lowest reasonable cost. The substantial increase in business each 
year rewards our policy, and proves that our seeds are meeting the requirements of particular planters. 
About Prices. At prices named, all seeds you may order in packets, ounces, half-pounds, pounds or 2 pounds, 
will be delivered by mail, postpaid. 
Unless noted, all other quantities larger than 2 pounds will be sent at purchaser’s expense, whether by mail, 
express or freight. 
Guarantee of Genuineness. While we exercise great diligence and care to have all our seeds true to name, and 
hold ourselves in readiness, on proper proof, to replace free of charge all seed that may prove untrue to name, 
or refund the amount paid, it is mutually understood and agreed to between the purchaser and ourselves, that 
our guarantee of genuineness shall in no case make us liable for any sum greater than that originally received for 
said seeds that prove untrue. Allen’s Nursery & Seed House.
