To Our Customers:

1885 where it became one of the most reputable distributors and growers in the Northwest. We are justly 
proud of the part Tillinghast has contributed to the Northwest Horticulture and the traditions in which it 
continues to serve. This is our 63rd year and again we offer you service and quality merchandise that only 
experience and ability can supply. 
Plants and trees are freshly dug for your individual order, carefully packed in Sphagnum Moss and water- 
proot paper and guaranteed to reach you in good condition. Our bulbs are stored in ideal conditions, hand 
picked and selected true to name for your order. Our seeds are the best obtainable, noted for their high

In order to serve you better, order early and we will make shipment at the proper planting time. 
GUARANTEE. We guarantee all items we sell to be true to name and in good condition when shipped. 
We also guarantee sate arrival, but owing to conditions beyond our control, such as weather, soil and 
method of planting, we cannot guarantee them to grow. All claims for stock damaged or in poor condition 
when received, must reach us within 10 days after arrival. In no eases will we be liable for more than the

HOW TO GET OUR SEEDS 
HOW TO SEND MONEY: If the amount is 50 cents or more, send by POSTOFFICE 
MONEY ORDER, drawn on La Conner, Wash., P. O. (in applying for which you can fill 
out at home, for the postmaster, the government blank application which we send you with 
the order sheet). If you prefer you may send Express Money Order, Bank Check or by

POSTAGE in 6th, 7th and 8th ZONES: Owing to the fact that the postage on seed in

Alaska, Canada, and all the states lying south and east of the following states: Washington, 
Oregon, Idaho, California and Montana, must add 8 cents extra to your order for each 
pound that your order will weigh. Otherwise we will be forced to send your money’s worth 
or to hold your order until the necessary postage is received. 
PARCEL POST ORDERS: We wish to call the attention of our customers to present 
parcel post rules which permit us to send up to 70 pounds in a single parcel anywhere in 
the United States or Alaska. Thus, grass, clover, vetch or other seed ordered in quantities 
can be delivered to you by parcel post at about le per pound postage anywhere in the 1st 
or 2nd zones. This will be found to be of special value wherever freight service is slow 
or uncertain in delivery.
