At the prices quoted in this catalog, we will prepay transportation charges on all Vegetable and Flower 
Seeds and Bulbs to places in the United States. We reserve the right to ship by parcel post, express or freight 
at our option. If you mark your order to be shipped by express where we would ship by freight, it will be shipped 
by express collect. 
We do not pay transportation charges on Potatoes, Field Seeds, Plants, Accessories, etc. in quantities quoted 
‘Not paid” or ‘‘Purchaser pays transportation.” These will be sent by express or freight collect unless enough | 
money is sent to cover postage at the regular zone rate. The rate to places in New York State west of Utica and 
Binghamton is 1c per lb., east of Utica and west of Springfield, Mass., 2c per lb., east of Springfield 4c per Ib., 
north of Baltimore 2c per lb., south of Baltimore 4c per Ib. to points in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. 
The rates to other places can be obtained at any post office. 
Allow Plenty of Time for Your Order to Reach You 
At the present time all shipments, including mail, parcel post and express, are handled much slower than for- 
merly, and freight is usually considerably delayed. We therefore ask that you send in your order well ahead of 
the time you wish to use the seeds. If your order includes potatoes, onion sets, plants, etc. which we cannot ship 
early in the spring, your seeds will be sent first and the plants sent later when the weather is suitable or when 
they are ready. 
Making Out the Order. Please use the order blanks attached in 
this catalog. Print your name very distinctly and give your full 
post office address (including the new postal zone, number if 
you have one). For express or freight shipments, be sure to give 
your nearest railroad station or express office if different from 
your post office. 
Please Note: If you have moved since you last ordered from us, 
please give not only your correct new address but also-your old 
address so that we may correct our mailing list. 
_ How to Send Money. Money is most conveniently and safely 
sent in the form of a post office money order, express order or 
check. We will accept personal checks for over $1.00 without 
exchange. Small amounts may be sent in postage stamps. 
It is not safe to send silver. (Postal Notes, a new safe and cheap way 
to send amounts up to $10.00, will be available at first class post 
offices in 1945. Inquire at your post office or ask your postman.) 
Refunds of Money. If we cannot supply certain items on your 
order, we will refund the money sent for them, unless you give 
us permission to substitute some other variety. 
C.0.D. Shipments. C.O.D. orders will be accepted only if ac- 
companied by cash payment of 25% of the amount of the order. 
At the present time, we do not recommend C.O.D. Shipments, 
as they are much more likely to be delayed. 
Plants, bulbs and nursery stock will not be sent C.O.D, under any cir- 
cumstances. 
SPECIAL HANDLING. You can usually get seeds or plants a ' 
day or two sooner than by ordinary parcel post if they are 
sent “Special Handling.” An extra fee must be paid on each 
package as follows:

If you want seeds or plants sent Special Handling, please so 
mark your order, and include the money for the extra postage 
with your remittance. If your order is to be sent on different 
dates, and you want each part Special Handling, be sure to 
include enough postage for each mailing.

Every Package of HARRIS’ SEED is marked With the GERMINATION TEST 
This is the thirty-fourth consecutive year we have given our customers this service. Certain state laws, and Federal regula- 
tions require the test on some seeds and under some conditions. However, we believe that the grower has a right to know the 
vitality of all the seeds he buys, so we put the test on every package of seed we send out, whether it be a packet of flower 
seed or a hundred pound bag of spinach seed. Look for the germination test and sow your seed accordingly for best results. |
