We expect to adhere throughout the winter and spring to the prices quoted 
herein, unless some causes beyond our control require a change, in which case 
we shall be governed by the market. All goods are offered subject to prior sale, 
f.o.b. Philadelphia, Pa., or Clinton, Iowa, and we reserve the right to change 
prices without notice if it should become necessary.

Our terms are cash with order unless you have an account 
with us or are satisfactorily rated by the commercial 
agencies. To those who have accounts and others of ap- 
proved credit, our terms are 60 days net; 2% discount for 
cash in ten days from date of invoice, or 3% discount when 
cash accompanies the order, for Vegetable and Flower Seeds 
and Flower Bulbs. No discount on Grass Seeds, Clover 
Seeds, Roots, and Supplies, or on Bags, Cases, and shipping 
charges, all of which are net cash.

The purchaser pays the transportation charge on every- 
thing offered in this book except packets on sale or return 
basis, which are sent prepaid. If goods are wanted by Parcel 
Post, include sufficient to cover postage on cash orders. On 
charge orders, postage will be invoiced. We make no charges 
for packing or cartage, but Bags and Cases will be charged 
at current cost and are not returnable. If in doubt as to the 
best and most economical method of shipment, we suggest 
that you leave this to our judgment. 
Shipping Instructions 
With each order, please give complete shipping instruc- 
tions if goods are not to be sent by parcel post. Give the 
name of your express or freight office and on which railroad 
you wish goods shipped. This will assure correct routing. 
After delivering the shipment to forwarders in good order 
(as shown by Bill of Lading), our responsibility ceases. 
Marine and/or War Risk insurance will be effected on 
foreign shipments only when so directed. 
You can depend upon us to get your seeds on their way 
to you as quickly as possible. In these times, however, all 
methods of transportation are uncertain so it is advisable 
to order earlier than usual. :
