YOUR ASSURANCE OF QUALITY 
You be the judge! Hoffman Seeds must be satisfactory 
to you on arrival. If they aren't, return promptly and your 
money will be refunded and all freight charges paid for the 
round trip. We'll even grant time for purity and germination 
tests, should you desire. However, while exercising every 
care to assure you seed of good quality, we must for our own 
protection submit all goods according to terms similar to those 
of other responsible seed firms, and as approved by the 
American Seed-Trade Association, of which we are mem- 
bers. A. H. Hoffman, Inc., “gives no warranty, express or 
implied, as to the productiveness of any seeds it sells, and 
will not be in any way responsible for the crop. Our liabil- 
ity, in all instances, is limited to the purchase price of the 
seed.’ If the goods are not acceptable on these terms, they 
should be returned at once. 
HOFFMAN PAYS FREIGHT on every shipment of 
Hoffman Seeds weighing 100 pounds or more, providing 
your railroad freight station is in any one of these eleven 
states: Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Massachusetts, New 
Jersey, New York, Delaware, Rhode Island, West Virginia, 
Virginia and Connecticut. 
BAGS SUPPLIED FREE. When you make up your 
Hoffman Seed order, you don't have to figure anything 
“extra’’ for bags needed to ship seeds. Bags are free. 
RAILWAY EXPRESS NOT RECOMMENDED 
Seed shipments by railway express are quick, but costly. Too costly, 
unless shipment weighs only a few pounds. Costs on heavy shipments 
soon run into many dollars. Of course, if you must have express 
shipment, we’ll comply, sending charges COLLECT at your station. 
On express shipments of 100 pounds or over, we’ll help defray your 
expense by allowing you the amount we would otherwise have pre- 
paid as “freight” charges. 
3 WAYS TO PAY 
1. Send payment along with your order. Most folks do. Or— 
2. Mark your order “Ship by C. O. D. freight” and pay your freight 
agent when the seeds arrive at your freight station. This plan can 
be used ONLY if there IS AN AGENT at your freight station. Or— 
3. Pay a draft at your bank when the seeds arrive at your freight 
station. In this case, mark the name of your bank on order so that 
necessary papers may be sent there. 
If you don’t send payment with order, be sure to indicate on order 
blank which payment plan you prefer.
