READ CAREFULLY 
TO YOU: January 1944, marks the beginning of my 48th year selling seed in 
Memphis and through these years I have tried to furnish my customers nothing 
but the best obtainable in seeds, bulbs, insecticides, etc. Seed is the smallest 
expense in producing a crop and we urge you to consider the quality rather 
than the cost. As soon as new, improved ‘strains and varieties have proved 
their merits, we offer them for your benefit. 
ORDER EARLY—Dve to unsettled world conditions and the demand for de- 
fense materials, the supply of many items is very limited. In the case of seed 
production, there has been partial or almost complete crop failures on a great 
many varieties on account of adverse weather conditions in the growing area. 
These two factors make it advisable for you to order early before further mar- 
ket advances and while stock is still available. 
PRICES—The prices quoted in this catalog are those prevailing Jan. 1, 1944. 
Some vegetable and field seeds, as well as other items in this catalog, are under 
OPA ceiling prices and in each instance our prices are the ceiling prices or less. 
Due to extremely unsettled conditions, we reserve the right to change prices, 
without notice, on items not under OPA regulation. 
CASH WITH ORDER—Please send money with order sufficient to cover the 
whole bill and remit by express, postal money order or check. We advise against 
C. O. D. orders because of delays and high collection charges, which are unsat- 
isfactory to the customer and expensive to us if uncalled for and returned at 
our expense. We accept C. O. D. orders when 25 per cent of the order amount 
is paid in advance. 
We do NOT shiv plants, onion sets, potatoes or nursery stock C. O. D. 
FREE DELIVERY BY MAIL—We pay postage on all items quoted postpaid 
in this catalogue. The prices on the Yellow Price List are F. O. B. Memphis. 
Study the parcel post map, figure your postage and save money. Sending coins, 
bills, or stamps through the mail is safe and convenient. : 
NON-WARRANTY—R. B. Buchanan Seed Company, Inc., gives no warranty 
express or implied as to the productiveness or efficiency of any seeds, bulbs, 
plants, fertilizers, insecticides or other goods it sends out and will not in any 
way be responsible for the crop or results. Its liability in all instances is limited 
to the purchase price of such goods. This condition forms part of the contract 
of sale when the goods are delivered and accepted and if not accepted on these 
terms they are to be returned at once and the purchase price will be refunded.
