Shipping Information 
Domestic: Time is important. Many of 
our customers use the Air Mail exclusively 
to save time and get the most possible out 
of our rapid order filling and delivery ser¬ 
vice. We suggest that you do the same. If 
your order is sent to us by Air Mail from 
the east coast it arrives the second day, is 
filled the same day it arrives and if shipped 
by Parcel Post seed will reach you within 
seven days from the time the order left your 
office. Correspondingly less time is needed 
when shorter distances are covered. For 
faster delivery, seeds shipped by Air Mail 
or Air Express will reach you within four 
days from the time your order is sent to us. 
For the greatest possible saving in time, 
send your order by wire to be shipped by 
air; seeds will arrive within two to three 
days from the time ordered. 
Air express rates are calculated on the 
basis of half-pounds and distances are 
zoned. Air Mail is calculated on an ounce 
basis and goes as first class mail. Both 
speed up transportation immensely, and where time is a deciding factor, they 
certainly are the cheapest in the long run. Air transportation is safe, sure and 
economical. 
Regarding rail shipments, both Parcel Post and Express will take 4 to 5 days 
to reach the east coast. When the shipment is over 10 pounds in weight it is 
cheaper to ship by express, but when it is less than 10 pounds, Parcel Post is 
cheaper. Parcel Post packages marked "Special Delivery" are given first class 
mail service and will go through practically as fast as first class matter. 
Shipments of 75 pounds or over can be sent most economically by Freight. 
Package cars leave Los Angeles twice a week, arriving in Chicago the 7th morn¬ 
ing and in New York the 10th morning. Contract orders and others placed con¬ 
siderably in advance of the time needed should be sent by Freight. 
Foreign: We urge our foreign customers to use the Air Mails when sending 
rush orders. With the new Air Mail service across the Atlantic and the Pacific, 
there is a great saving in time, over and on both sides of the ocean. Air Mail 
letters are given preference over regular mail in all handlings. 
When sending orders by cable, we suggest the use of our number code to cut 
down on words and expense. Five numbers in a unit may be sent for the cost of 
one word, a rate which reduces costs considerably.
