stamps for sums less than $1.00. ; 
NO C.O.D. SHIPMENTS. Absolutely no plants or perishable goods will

64 YEARS OF SERVICE 
YOU CAN DEPEND ON ARCHIAS FOR 
HONEST SERVICE AND DE- 
PENDABLE SEEDS 
Dear Friends: 
For 64 years we have served the 
farmers and planters of Missouri and 
our surrounding states; this fact 
should speak well for our dependa- 
bility. When we tell you that you 
can send your order to ARCHIAS 
with complete confidence, we mean 
just that! Your order will be filled 
promptly and we guarantee every’ 
thing to reach you in a satisfying con- 
dition. If you are not entirely pleased 
when the merchandise arrives, it may 
be returned within five days for com- 
plete refund of your money or have 
your order refilled without charge. 
You are to be the judge and you are 
to be pleased or it costs you nothing. 
We hope you are making plans for 
a big Freedom Garden this year. At 
this writing the demand for food for 
Europe is appalling and because of 
this demand the prices at the stores 
are at an all time high. There is no 
better way to assure plenty of food 
for your own family and to help re- 
lieve the demand in commercial food 
channels than by producing your 
own. The average gardener can save 
hundreds of food dollars in a year’s 
time with a well-planned garden. 
We believe that everyone should 
consider the planting of Nursery 
Stock, Fruit Trees, and Berry Plants. 
Now, when you can afford to im- 
prove your place, have fruit of your 
own for years. The economy of the 
country may not be so good later. 
Let us all look ahead and plan for the 
future. 
We shall be expecting your orders. 
We hope that you will send them in 
early. We assure you that we will ‘do 
our best to please you. 
Sincerely yours, 
ARCHIAS’ SEED STORE, 
Toeii:, Archias,. |r... Pres.

we can sell first quality stock at reasonable prices. Everything we ship 
must please you or you may return the merchandise within five days for 
a full refund of the purchase price or have your order refilled without 
additional cost. But it must be understood, we do not guarantee the

ranty, expressed or implied, as to the productiveness of any seeds or

the seeds, bulbs or plants.
