READ CAREFULLY 
Jan. 1947 marks the beginning of our 51st year selling seed in Memphis. After 
33 years at our old store we have moved 1 block north to 10 No. Front St. and 
invite you to visit our new store where you will find complete stocks of-seeds, 
insecticides, poultry and spray equipment and other lines handled by reputable 
seed houses and, in addition, a very complete line of pets, birds and supplies. 
ORDER EARLY—Some varieties of seed, both field and vegetable, are very 
scarce and stocks of many side line items in manufactured goods, such as poultry 
and spray equipment and insecticides are very limited. In addition, bear in mind 
that congested transportation, either mail, express or freight, delays delivery of 
your order. Therefore, before stocks are depleted and to be sure that you get 
your requirements in plenty of time ORDER EARLY. 
PRICES—tThe prices quoted in this catalog are those prevailing Jan. 1, 1947. 
However, due to unsettled markets and conditions beyond our control, we reserve 
the right to change prices without notice. 
CASH WITH ORDER—Please send money with order sufficient to cover the 
whole bill and remit by express, postal money order or check. We advise against 
C. O. D. orders because of delays and high collection charges, which are tnsat- 
isfactory to the customer and expensive to us if uncalled for and returned at 
our expense. We accept C. O. D. orders when 25 per cent of the order amount 
is paid in advance. 
We do NOT ship plants, onion sets, potatoes, baby chicks, pets or nursery 
stock C.O.D. 
FREE DELIVERY BY MAIL—We pay postage on all items quoted postpaid 
in this catalogue. The prices on the Yellow Price List are F. O. B. Memphis, 
Study the parcel post map, figure your postage and save money. Sending coins, 
bills, or stamps through the mail is safe and convenient. 
NON-WARRANTY—R. B. Buchanan Seed Company, Inc., gives no warranty 
express or implied as to the productiveness or efficiency of any seeds, bulbs, 
plants, fertilizers, insecticides or other goods it sends out and will not in any 
way be responsible for the crop or results. Its liability in all instances is limited 
to the purchase price of such goods. This condition forms part of the contract 
of sale when the goods are delivered and accepted and if not accepted on these 
terms they are to be returned at once and the purchase price will be refunded.
