Suggestions to Customers in Ordering from This Catalogue, Which, if Followed, Will Be of Mutual Aid 
ORDER EARLY. —We endeavor to ship all orders immediately 
on receipt, but during the rush season it is almost impossible, hence 
the importance of ordering early. 
NAME AND ADDRESS. —Please write on each order your Name, 
Post Office, Shipping Point or nearest Express Office, your County 
and State. Use the order sheet enclosed in catalogue if possible. 
COUNTER CUSTOMERS. —We suggest to those who buy in 
person at our store the advantage of having their lists made out 
before they call. They may be left and called for later, taken at once, 
or shipped. In any case it is a great saving of time to the buyer. The 
list should have full name and address written on it so that our 
catalogues may be mailed to the purchaser as issued. We also urge 
early buying—January and February are good months. 
FORWARDING. —We prepay postage to any post office in the 
United States, on vegetable and flower seeds quoted by the packet, 
ounce, and quarter pound. All other goods are sent by express or 
freight at purchaser’s expense. We make no charge for delivery to 
freight depots or express offices in Philadelphia. 
PRICES.— It is our endeavor to maintain the prices quoted in this 
catalogue throughout the season, but in the event of unforeseen 
circumstances arising, we reserve the right to change the price of 
any article (in this catalogue) without notice. 
REMITTANCES should be made by Post Office Money Order, 
Express Money Order, Registered Letter or Draft on Philadelphia 
or New York banks. Small sums may be sent in loose postage stamps 
of small denominations. 
NON-WARRANTY— Hosea Waterer gives no warranty, express 
or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other 
matter of any seeds, bulbs, or plants he sends out, and he will not 
be responsible in any way for the crop. If the purchaser does not 
accept the goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned.
