"OUR SEEDS GROW FRIENDS" 
Since you received our last catalog, we have acquired 
through purchase from the Receiver, the business, asscto, 
good will and trade'inarks of The J. M. McCullough’s Sons 
Co. and The McCullough Seed Company. We are happy 
to say that we are better than ever prepared to offer a 
full line of Garden Supplies of all kinds as well as Pet 
Supplies and Pet Foods, and pledge our best efforts to 
give you the service, quality and values necessary to insure 
your continued friendship and patronage. 
McCullough’s Seeds have been on the market for over 
one hundred years. We pride ourselves on this reputation. 
We spend a great deal of time, effort and labor to supply 
seeds and gardening supplies that are, to the best of our 
knowledge, of the highest quality. We have often been 
asked if we “guarantee or warrant our seeds.” We answer 
that we can not, for the reason that practical experience 
has assured us that there are many hazards beyond the 
control of the seedsman, such as weather conditions, in' 
sects, and differences in soil. Many times we have observed 
a planting of the best of seeds to fail; and, later a planting 
from the same lot of seeds, result in an excellent crop. 
The J. Chas. McCullough Seed Company gives no war' 
ranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, prO' 
ductiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, or 
plants it sells, and will not be responsible for the crop. 
Suggestions For Ordering 
All Flower and Vegetable Seeds in our catalog are num' 
bered; our order sheet is arranged to take care of these 
numbers which saves you the time and trouble of writing 
the names of the seeds in full. If you send your order 
early, the benefit will be mutual. You will have your seed 
on hand when the planting season arrives and it will enable 
us to fill your order before the “please rush” period is 
upon us. 
Seeds by Mail, etc. 
Packets and half pounds only of Beans, Corn, Peas, and 
all other varieties of Vegetable and Flower Seeds, will be 
forwarded postpaid at catalog prices, unless otherwise 
noted. All other items are priced F. O. B. Cincinnati. 
Where Cotton Seamless Bags are required, they will be 
charged at thirty cents each. We reserve the right to 
advance or decline with the market on any item listed in 
this catalog.
