ROBERT W. HUNTER EARLE W. HUNTER 
To Our Customers: 
E WISH to express to our many market-gardener customers our appreciation 
for the business which they have given us during the past year. We are better 
equipped this year to give prompt and efficient service, but our message is still: 
Order early. This is the only way to be sure of having seed at the time you need it, 
because of delays in transportation, which is still not back to normal. 
You will note that we have added a number of varieties to our list. We are continuing 
to strive for the very best seed obtainable, for we realize the importance of true strains. 
Unless you give us your permission, we shall make no substitutions. You get what 
you order when you buy from us. 
TERMS OF PAYMENT. Effective January 1, 1947, all invoices for purchases will be charged at 
the prices quoted in this catalog, unless we have made special offers by letter or telegram, referred 
to when the order is placed. 
Our terms are cash with order unless you have an account with us or are satisfactorily rated. To 
those who have accounts with us, and others of approved credit, our terms are 114% discount for cash 
in 10 days or net 60 days. When cash accompanies the order, we allow 5% discount until April 1. No 
cash discount after that date, and no discount on supplies or shipping charges. Both are net cash. 
Unless new customers are satisfactorily rated with the commercial agencies, they should furnish us 
with three trade references. 
Orders for seed will be shipped C.O.D. upon receipt of a deposit of 20% of the value of the order. 
FREE DELIVERY. The prices of all seeds quoted in this catalog are prepaid with the exception of 
Peas, Beans, and Corn, which are F.O.B. Philadelphia. If these items are wanted by parcel post, please 
include sufficient postage on cash orders. On charge orders, postage will be invoiced. We make no 
charge for packing or cartage, but seamless bags will be charged at current cost and are not returnable. 
SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS. When you place your order, please give complete shipping instruc- 
tions if goods are not to be sent by parcel post. Specify railroad on which you want seeds shipped and 
give us the name of your express or freight office. This will help us to assure you of correct routing of 
your order. 
NON-WARRANTY. Tri-State Seed Company gives no warranty, express or implied, as to the pro- 
ductiveness of any seeds they send out and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the 
customer does not accept the goods on these terms, they are to be returned at once. 
All prices in this catalog are subject to change without notice and to our stocks being unsold.
