As a protection to our customers who are entitled to wholesale

sons not entitled thereto. It will save us considerable embarrass- 
ment. Tell them to send for our ‘‘Seed Book”—free upon request. 
We Welcome Charge Accounts

So that no time will be lost in executing your first order, please 
refer, preferably, to someone in either your own or our Iine of

saves delay.

Forwarding Service 
We pay postage on all orders for Flower Seeds provided the

of items ordered.

ounces in weight, the postage charge is 1c for each two (2) 
ounces or fraction thereof; sundries or other merchandise not 
exceeding eight (8) ounces in weight, the postage charge is 
1léc for each two (2) ounces or fraction thereof. Seeds, Bulbs, 
Plants, Roots, Sundries, etc., weighing over eight (8) ounces, 
are sent at zone rates. 
If Special Delivery is wanted, an additional 17c is required on 
packages weighing up to two (2) pounds—25c on packages 
weighing more than two (2) pounds and up to ten (10) pounds 
—35c on packages weighing more than ten (10) pounds, which 
also includes special handling and transportation as first-class 
mail. 
If remittance accompanies order, a sufficient amount should 
be included to cover the extra charge—if ordered to be sent by 
either of the methods as stated above. 
Plants and cold-storage bulbs cannot be sent C.O.D. owing to 
the fact that they are perishable items. 
No C.O.D. shipments of other material for less than $1.00. 
This ruling due to the shortage of help and curtailed produc- 
tion. Shipments of goods C.O.D. outside of our automobile 
delivery Itmits can only be made that way provided a partial 
remittance is sent with the order to guarantee that the goods will 
be accepted on arrival.

the time of ordering, or when paying accounts, by reason of the

Important Notice 
AIl shipments of plants, perishable stock, and cold-storage 
bulbs are made at buyer’s risk only. 
If such shipments arrive in damaged condition, accept them and 
receipt for them accordingly, and make claim for your loss on 
the transportation company. We, of course, will hold ourselves 
ready to assist you in any possible way. It has been found that 
claims can be collected more readily by the person receiving the 
goods than by the shipper. 
Our custom to guarantee the actual arrival of goods (except 
at points where there is no Freight or Express agent) will still be 
continued, and claims for loss or non-arrival of merchandise not 
perishable will, as in the past, be cared for by us, so you run no 
risk of having to make claims for Jost goods. 
Henry F. Michell Co. give no warranty, expressed or implied, as 
to the description, purity or productiveness of any seeds, plants, 
or bulbs they send out, and they cannot be in any way responsible 
for the crop. If the customer does not accept the goods on these 
terms, he must notify us at once, and we will give instructions for 
disposition of goods.
