ARCHIAS’ GUARANTEE 
Because we grow and sell large quantities of Seeds, Nursery 
Stock, etc., 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 crop, thereby, 
in common with all reliable seedsmen, we give no warranty, 
expressed or implied, as to the productiveness of any seed or 
bulbs or plants we sell and will not be in any way responsible 
for the crop. Our liability, in all instances, is limited to the 
purchase price of the seeds, bulbs or plants. 
Archias’ Nursery Stock Guarantee 
Our nursery stock is carefully handled and full of vitality, 
under ordinary conditions should grow for you, but if it does 
not, we will! replace it at one-half price the next season if you 
will notify us before July 15th. 
HOW TO ORDER 
USE OUR ORDER SHEET. It will help us greatly in filling your 
order correctly and speedily, if you will use the Order Sheet sent 
you with the Catalog. Please Keep a Copy of Your Order. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY. Remittances can be sent safely by 
P. ©. Order, Bank Draft, Express Money Order, or Check. We 
accept clean stamps for sums less than $1.00. 
NO C.O.D. SHIPMENTS. Absolutely no plants or perishable 
goods will be sent C.O.D. We advise against C.O.D. orders be- 
cause of delays and excessively high collection charges. Send re- 
mittance with your order. If overpaid, we will refund the difference. 
24-HOUR SERVICE. Orders received in the morning are usually 
shipped the same day. We have every facility for filling and shipping 
orders promptly. Nursery stock and other perishable items will not 
be sent until planting time, and when weather permits. 
OUR RESPONSIBILITY. This is our 65th year in the Seed 
Business and we know personally most of our customers. Those of 
you who have not bought from us before, we refer you to any 
bank in the State of Missouri for reference. 
DON’T FORGET POSTAGE. Except on items which are mark- 
ed postpaid, delivery charges are paid by the purchaser. Be sure to 
include sufficient postage at the zone rates to cover your order. 
Large packages or shipments of considerable weight travel more 
cheaply by express or freight.
