PLEASE 
Check All Packages 
When Received 
We sometimes enclose small 
packages in larger bags of 
fertilizer or seed. Look 
for them! Quite often we 
are unable to ship all 
items ordered, all at one 
time—for instance, Onion 
Sets, Asparagus Roots, Rose 
Bushes, etc., with seeds. 
We notify customers of 
incomplete shipments, 
shortages, etc., by mail, 
on the same day we make 
shipments. Watch for 
these notices! We try our 
best to serve you!
