is more desirable in 
most cases for pack- 
ages weighing 20 pounds or more, according to local conditions. Liquids and poisons should be ordered sent 
by express or freight, as poisons are not mailable without special packing. 
FREIGHT SHIPMENTS 
Should be used when possible on heavy goods. The saving will be considerable. Order early and allow 
ample time. 
Note: When postage is 50c. or over, add 3% to above to cover postal increase. 
TERMS CASH WITH ORDER 
Accounts cannot be opened for small amounts. Persons wishing to open accounts must furnish satisfac- 
tory references, and allow time for investigation before shipment can be made.

and must be charged for at market price; present charge, 30c. each. Burlap bags, 15c. each, are unsuitable 
for grass and other fine seeds.

—5 pounds at the 10-pound rate; 25 pounds at the 100-pound rate. Prices subject to market and changes
