READ CAREFULLY 
HOW TO ORDER-—Use enclosed order “sheet and envelope. Write your 
Full Name and Address plainly. State How You Want Your Order 
Shipped, giving Post Office, State, R.F.D. No., Box or Street and No. 
ORDER EARLY—It is advisable to send in your order as early as pos- 
sible for some varieties of seeds are in short supply. Orders are filled 
prompily when received; almost all are sent out the same day that 
we receive them. If for any reason orders cannot be shipped immedi- 
ately, we will acknowledge order stating when shipment can be made. 
CEILING PRICES—All prices quoted in this catalog are those ruling 
January 1, 1944, and are subject to market changes. In event the Office 
of Price Administration establishes, after the catalog is issued, a 
ceiling lower than our quoted price, we will immediately correct our 
price accordingly. 
POSTPAID PRICES—All prices quoted in this catalog postpaid include 
mailing charges through the Third Zone (300 miles from Memphis) only. 
We reserve the right to accept or reject any order for shipment beyond 
this distance. 
CASH WITH ORDER—Please send money with order sufficient to cover 
the whole bill and remit by postal or express money order, bank draft 
or check. If currency is used, the letter should be registered. For 
amounts less than $2.00, stamps are acceptable. We accept, but advise 
against, C.O.D. orders because of delays and high collection charges, 
which are unsatisfactory to the customer and expensive to us if 
uncalled for and returned at our expense. No C.O.D. shipment will be 
made on Perishable Merchandise, such as Plants, Nursery Stock and 
Baby Chicks. 
NON-WARRANTY—Every grower of experience knows that success— 
with seeds, bulbs, plants or roots depends largely on weather condi- 
tions and proper cultivation, so in accordance with the universal cus- 
tom of the trade Russell-Heckle Seed Company gives no warranty, 
express or implied, as to the productiveness of any Seeds, Bulbs, 
Plants or Roots it sells, and will not be in any way responsible for the 
crop. Its liability in all instances is limited to the purchase price of 
seeds, bulbs, plants or roots.
