A leading clothing manufacturer says: “Our best ads are found them outstandingly good. No better testimonial can 
not written, they are worn.” We say: “Our best ads are not 
written, they are grown—by our customers.” 
Every year we receive thousands of orders from people 
who have never ordered of us before.

Kellogg plants growing in their gardens, and who have 
Excellent Stock and Packing 
“I have appreciated the privilege of 
dealing with you, and want to com- 
mend you on the excellent stock you 
sell, at such reasonable prices, and also 
the excellent care you use in packing 
these items, the like of which I have 
never seen.’—Earl H. Heckart, Mary- 
land. 
They have been 
W onderful! 
“I have been growing your flowers 
for about 7 years and I have had won- 
derful results. I still have some of the 
first plants producing every season. 
‘The shrubs I purchased this past spring 
are doing very well, also the Cannas—.” 
—Robert M. Brown, Mass. 
When You Order 
Please write plainly, and use order blank 
if you have one. If not, please tabulate. 
‘Then add your order carefully and send 
money by good safe means—no_ unregis- 
tered currency. 
Leave shipping date to us, if possible. 
Special dates should be requested only for 
very special reasons, other than weather, 
as planting time varies from year to year. 
Our daily Government weather maps tell 
us when. 
And then there is the matter of trans- 
portation. With nursery stock it is impos- 
sible to advise what the cost is in advance, 
so we can give no scale of shipping 
charges. However, you may authorize us 
to ship either express with shipping charg- 
Guaranty 
The Kellogg name assures you of high- 
est quality nursery stock, that will produce 
highly satisfactory results with normally 
good conditions and care. Further, our 
packing is of the best, and we ship all 
plants in fresh growing condition. ‘They 
will reach you in such condition with 
proper handling enroute. We cannot un- 
conditionally guarantee arrival in best con- 
dition, but we do aim to-have surplus 
stocks on hand for making refills; and will 
refill out of these surpluses provided re- 
es collect or parcel post C. O. D. for ship- 
ping charges, whichever is cheaper. 
Or you can add an amount to your 
order sufficient to cover shipping charges, 
and we will ship prepaid by the cheapest 
method, and refund left-over funds. This 
is a particularly good plan for orders 
under $10.00. 10% added to your order 
will usually be more than sufficient, and 
will provide a refund to you. 
Or, you can specify the exact method 
wanted. 
It is best that you select one of the above 
plans, so that we can follow your wishes; 
but in case you ask us to ship C.O.D. for 
charges, remember that with parcel post 
there is an additional charge of 30c for 
C.O.D. and money order fees, this in addi- 
tion to postage. This for parcel post only. 
ports are made within 30 days, customers 
to pay a service charge of 25c on refills 
valued at less than $2.50; or 10% of value 
when between $2.50 and $5.00; or when 
value is over $5.00, customers may pay 
either a 10% service charge or agree to 
accept plants express collect, or parcel post 
C. O. D. for shipping charges. 
Original shipment must be paid for in 
full, including shipping charges, before re- 
fills can be made. Should surpluses not 
be available, or should reports reach us 
be given as to Kellogg quality. We are delighted to welcome 
such new customers to the large Kellogg family. 
You, too! If you have any trouble at all believing the 
nice things we say about our plants, why don’t you “be 
from Missouri,” and send us an order, and see for yourself? 
Best Plants — Best Condition 
“This season I tried 6 nurseries to 
test deliveries. I wish to congratulate 
you upon the fine hardy specimens 
which you sent. ‘They were definitely 
the very best plants, and the plants 
were in the best condition of any we 
received—.”—A. D. Fenstermaker, Ohio. 
IF NO EXPRESS OFFICE in your town, 
give name of nearest express office and 
distance from you. 
AND NOW ABOUT SMALL ORDERS: 
These are proportionately expensive to 
handle, and so if your order amounts to 
less than $2.50, please add 50c for handl- 
ing charge. Out of this we will pay parcel 
post charges, unless very heavy, in which 
case we will ask for any amount over 15c 
for postage. If you increase order to $2.50, 
you escape the service charge, but are to 
pay shipping charge. 
AND NOW JUST A FEW OTHER 
THINGS: No cancellations or changes 
during shipping season, for obvious rea- 
sons. Plants not returnable for credit. We 
cannot agree to delay shipment beyond 
May 20. 


too late in season, refills will be carried 
over until the following year. 
We cannot guarantee continued growth 
after planting, since stock is then subject 
to, and relies upon, conditions beyond our 
control. It is mutually agreed that in any 
event we will not be liable for more than 
the purchase price of stock. In case of 
failure on our part to fill an order for any 
reason whatsoever, return of the custom- 
er’s money shall release us from all lia- 
bility.
