About an Index 
_ To meet the continuing difficult paper situa- 
tion, we have reduced the pages in our new 
Catalogue. No important merchandise has 
been dropped; indeed, we have added a number 
of new varieties and many items im our imple- 
ment list, but we have compressed the material 
ordinarily in 136 pages into 112. 
We have condensed our normal three-page 
index into a part-page list of Contents, in the 
hope that it will serve you adequately. But we 
have no means of knowing how much or how 
little an index may be missed; so we have made 
a limited printing of a Complete Index of our 
1948 Reed Annual, which we will be glad to 
mail to you on request. 
TERMS OF BUSINESS 
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE—Order sheets 
are on the right. Please send orders and inquiries 
to our New York address. 
TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT we urge re- 
spectfully that orders be given us early—in advance 
of the time the goods are needed for use. Under 
present conditions it is not possible for us, at short 
notice, to promise deliveries by a certain day. 
A Check, Bank Draft, Postal Note, Post-Office or 
Express Money Order may accompany your list 
an ae you send currency, be sure to use registered 
mail. 
We ship seeds, bulbs, and fertilizers C. O. D., if 
you wish, but not perishable goods, like shrubs or 
plants, which we do not send C. O. D. We will be 
glad to open a charge account on receipt of the 
usual references. 
Our prices are net, with no discounts, and always 
subject to change without notice. 
We make no charge for packing domestic ship- 
ments, except breakable items like glazed sash and 
flower pots, fragile food products and other mer- 
chandise less in value than $3, or where special bags 
are used. We charge for the latter, but allow full 
credit when they are returned prepaid, with the 
sender’s name and address on the bundle. 
IF THE U. S. POST OFFICE has assigned 
your locality a Unit or Zone Number, please enter 
it on your order. You will note that our address is 
132-138 Church Street, New York 8, N. Y. 
WE WELCOME QUESTIONS on cultural prac- 
tice and other matters. It will expedite your order, 
however, if you will please write them separately— 
not on the same sheet with your order. 
WHEN ORDERING, will you please tell us if 
we may use our good judgment and send you kinds 
similar in quality and equal in value, should we be 
oe of stock of a particular variety for which you 
ask, 
EXPORT. We are well equipped to make ship- 
ments to distant points, thoneth. our Export De- 
partment, which will take care of the proper pack- 
ing, delivery to steamer, and the preparation of the 
necessary documents. Purchaser pays actual 
charges for transportation and packing for export 
shipments. 
NON-WARRANTY. We, Stumpp & Walter Co., 
Ive no warranty, express or implied, as to the pro- 
Sretieeness of any seeds, bulbs, or plants we sell, 
and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. 
Our liability im all instances is limited to the pur- 
chase price of the seeds, bulbs or plants. 
Experienced gardeners realize that when failures 
occur—and they should happen but rarely—they 
usually are due, not to the seeds, bulbs, or roots, 
but to some circumstances of cultivation, soil or 
climate over which the seedsman has no control. 
Any claim as to shortage, etc., should be made 
within 10 days of receipt of goods, and it will be 
adjusted to your satisfaction,
