How To Order Seeds By Mall 
YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS—Be sure that your 
name ana address are written very plainly on each order. 
We frequently receive orders with either the name or 
address omitted. 
It is important that you fill out plainly and in full 
the mail order blank which accompanies this catalog. 
This will avoid delay in your order. If your order does 
not reach you promptly, please notify us. 
CASH WITH ORDER—Remittances should be made 
by post office money order, express money order or bank 
draft for a sufficient amount to cover the entire order 
and required postage, if any. 
PRICES—Prices in this catalog cancel all previous 
issues and are subject to market fluctuations and to 
change without notice. For quantity prices write for 
current quotations. 
SHIPPING—-We will use our best judgement as 
to the most efficient way of sending orders when specific 
directions are not given. If special directions in shipping 
are needed, state them explicitly in space provided for 
them on order blank. 
SEEDS BY MAIL 
Parcel post rates apply on weights up to 70 lbs, in 
the first, second and third zones (see table on page 26). 
Parcel post rates are usually cheaper than express with 
the added advantage of having the parcel delivered to 
your door. We pay postage on everything priced postpaid 
but on figuring postage for larger orders please refer 
to table on page 26. Poisons are not mailable. They 
must be sent by express or freight. We also advise 
sending heavy hardware and long handle tools by express 
or freight as many of them are not mailable. We are 
constantly in touch with shipping regulations and very 
often if we are allowed the privilege of using our own 
judgment we can make a saving to our customers. If 
you are in doubt about how shipment should be made 
and wish to leave it for us to decide, mark shipping 
instructions on your order sheet “cheapest way.” 
NON-WARRANTY: Note—There are so many con¬ 
tingencies to be encountered in growing plants from 
seed and in setting out plants that are dependent on 
the weather and other conditions over which we have 
no control, that success in planting is not altogether 
dependent on the seed or plant. We will send out only 
seed which we believe will grow and produce the kind 
of plant and variety represented, but: 
Carpenter Seed Company give no warranty, express 
or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or 
any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, plants they send 
out, and they will not be responsible in any way for 
the crop.
