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.

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.
