1941 GARDEN BOOK 
ARDENING is one of those hobbies that offer new 
G surprises each year because there are always new 
plants to try and some old favorites that we have 
never grown before. Our 1941 Garden Book contains the 
best selection of Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, Horticultural, 
Poultry and Pet Supplies, available at the present time. 
We are eager that you should know about these things, 
and we have endeavored to give you as much formation 
as space would permit. As the result of our experience 
through the years, we have assembled helpful hints which 
we hope will be useful to you. Our motto ts “Punctuality, 
Sterling Quality, Courteous Treatment,” and we do our 
best to follow it. 
All of our seed is tested by modern methods, and 
nothing of inferior quality is knowingly sent to our clients. 
Yet, failures sometimes occur due to adverse conditions 
of nature or other factors beyond our control. To be sure, 
we are glad to assist our customers In every way possible 
in the growing of better crops, but we must advise that 
all of our seeds are sold under the following conditions. 
WE GIVE NO WARRANTY, expressed or implied, as to description, 
quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, or 
plants we send out, and we will not be in any way responsible for the 
crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they 
are at once to be returned.

an error, tell us about it and we'll make it right. If there is any 
information you want in our line of business, write us (if you can’t 
call), and we shall be glad to give it careful attention. Our various 
departments are in charge of experts who are able to answer intel- 
ligently almost all inquiries pertaining to horticulture, agriculture, 
poultry, and pet stock. Always write inquiries on a sheet separate 
from your order; it means quicker reply. 
The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the follow- 
ing directions which will, if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well 
as to ourselves. 
How to Send Money. Remittances may be sent either in the 
form of a Money Order, Bank Check or Draft, or, if currency is sent, 
it should be registered. Postage stamps are satisfactory for small 
amounts. 
Orders from Unknown Correspondents. We often receive 
orders from unknown correspondents without remittances, who 
request that we forward the goods and payment will be sent later. 
Please do not ask us to do this unless established credit has been 
previously arranged with us, as satisfactory business references must 
always be given by customers wishing to open accounts for credit. 
IMPORTANT. Merchandise to be returned for credit must be 
returned within 5 days in good order free of expense to us. 
Should you want to purchase anything needed in the garden, green- 
house, or farm, not listed in this catalogue, we will gladly fill your 
order at the lowest market price, or quote prices if desired. 
Gardeners’ and Farmers’ Situations. We have, at times, the 
names of practical gardeners and farm managers in want of situations. 
If persons desiring such will write us, we shall be glad to put them in 
communication with men whom we deem suitable. We make no 
charge for this service.
