The policy of the Harvey Seed Co., Inc., over a period of 88 
years has been the greatest possible satisfaction to every customer. 
VEGETABLES OF QUALITY 
The seeds offered in this catalog were produced by the leading growers who specialize in particula- varieties that 
experience has shown can best be grown in their locality. Due to the profound effect that climate and soil have on 
different varieties of seeds it is necessary to have the various kinds grown in sections scattered all over the world. 
Our 88 years of experience has proven what part of the world and what growers will produce the best and most 
uniform strains. 
By handling seeds grown by growers who specialize in only those seeds favorable to their soil and climate and who 
by careful selection have brought their strains to a high state of perfection, we offer the public only seeds of high quality. 
FLOWERS 
Nothing adds so much to the attractiveness of a house and grounds as a few flowers well cared for, and nothing will 
give more satisfaction than watching them develop during the season. If the flower garden is well planned you can have 
a beautiful display from Spring until late in the Fall. 
Even if very little land is available very pleasing results can be obtained, especially if porch and window boxes are 
used to supplement the garden or border. 
We carry in stock on a large scale, flower seeds, bulbs, and freshly dug plants of the highest quality. 
MARKET GARDENERS who require large quantities of Seeds will be quoted special prices upon request. Submit a 
list of varieties and quantities and we will mail quotation by first mail.

FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE ORDERING 
OUR SEEDS 
Are all fresh and reliable. Nothing is more essential to 
successful farming and gardening than good seed. With a 
full appreciation of this fact we offer only tried seeds of 
undoubted purity. 
FREE DELIVERY ON SEEDS 
Free delivery on all flower and vegetable seeds except 
Peas, Beans and Corn, on which postage must be added 
according to zone rates, which are very reasonable. Five 
cents for the first pound, two cents for the second pound 
and one cent for each additional pound for the first and 
second zones. All orders shipped the same day as received. 
BY EXPRESS 
At places where the Express Companies have offices, 
any of our goods can be ordered through their agents, who 
will furnish blanks for the purpose, saving postage and 
trouble. No charge whatever is made by the Express Com- 
panies for their services, other than the usual rate for carry- 
ing goods 
HOW TO ORDER—REMITTANCES 
Orders should be accompanied with remittance or good 
reference. This saves much trouble and confusion during 
the hurrying season. The safest way is to send by registered 
letter, post office, order or express, except for sums less 
than one dollar, for which we will accept stamps. Be 
particular to give name and post-office address fully and 
distinctly. 
NON-WARRANTY—There are contingencies con- 
tinually arising to prevent the very best seeds always giving 
satisfaction. For these reasons it is impossible to guarantee 
seeds under all circumstances. Therefore, we, THE HAR- 
VEY SEED COMPANY, INC., give no warranty, express 
or implied as to description, quality, productiveness or any 
other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants we sell, and will 
not be in any way responsible for the crop. All our seeds 
are tested before sending them to our customers, and 
should they fail to grow if promptly and properly tested by 
the customer, will replace the same amount or give value 
in others. 
Today’s uncertainties make quotations on goods for future deliveries extremely hazardous. 
While we will do our best to ship at prices mentioned, we will not, and do not, guarantee to do so. 
We also reserve the right to revise prices at any time prior to delivery. You will be advised of such 
changes made prior to delivery if you sorequest, otherwise your acceptance of the changed price, 
if any, will be assumed. Orders are booked subject to any and all conditions beyond our control.
