How to Obtain Eastern 
States Vegetable Seed 

yy Ordering: Please submit your order on 
the vegetable seed order form which is included 
as a part of this Coopzratror — additional 
copies may be obtained from an Eastern States 
local representative, warehouse, or the West 
Springfield, Mass., office. 
Orders may be submitted through a local 
representative, or warehouse, or direct to the 
West Springfield, Mass., office. 
Shipment will be made or notice of inability 
to ship will be sent promptly. Early orders help 
to assure the varieties desired and delivery well 
in advance of planting time. 
Delivery: Shipment will be made by parcel 
post or express at our option. Exceptions to this 
may be made by us; and some orders such as for 
warehouse stocks may be shipped in Eastern 
States feed cars. Shipment will be made as 
promptly after receipt of order as supplies and 
facilities permit. 
Local Warehouse Service: Supplies of 
seed will be maintained at Eastern States re- 
gional warehouses and at warehouses of some 
local representatives. Better service can be ren- 
dered at less expense when members anticipate 
their needs and place orders well in advance 
of desired planting date. 
Charges: Prices are subject to change with- 
out notice. Prices in effect at the West Spring- 
field office on the postmarked date of your order 
will apply. 
Prices include seed treatment, bags and trans- 
portation within Eastern States territory when 
method of shipment is at our option. 
This year warehouse prices are the same as 
catalog prices. 
Payment: Cash with the order or C.O.D. 
Package Units: Seed is packaged in stand- 
ard size units as listed only. Unless otherwise 
authorized we will ship each item in the largest 
standard size units available and invoice at the 
rate for its total weight. One variety may be 
ordered in smaller units to make a larger unit. 
The charge is an additional two cents per pack- 
age when the amount is less than a pound and 
one cent a pound when over a pound. For ex- 
ample: 4 one-ounce packets of carrots may be 
obtained at the same price as a four-ounce 
packet plus two cents a packet, or eight cents 
for these smaller packets. Twenty-five pounds 
of beans may be obtained in five-pound pack- 
ages for an additional 25 cents. Orders which 
specify certain size packages will be invoiced 
at the rate for those sizes. Varieties cannot be 
combined to obtain lower prices of larger units.

desirable inheritance and of high vi- 
tality and will produce favorably 
under normal conditions. Care and 
environment do so affect type and 
production that we give no warranty, 
express or implied, as to the crop pro- 
duced and shall in no instance be lia- 
ble for more than the amount actually 
paid for the seed.
