age. A good general rule to keep in 
mind is that Beans, Peas, Sweet Corn, 
and manufactured items are NOT 
postpaid. Stated another way, only 
packets, ounces, pounds, etc., of small 
seeds such as beets, cabbage, cu- 
cumber, lettuce, radish and others 
are priced on a postpaid basis. So 
look carefully in each case. Unless 
marked ‘‘postpaid,’’ please add to the

General Information 
Avoid mistakes and misunderstanding by observing these in- 
structions. 
WE PAY THE POSTAGE on ail vegetable and flower seeds, ex- 
cept where otherwise specified. Field seeds and other supplies are 
priced f. 0. b. Harrisonburg, Va. If desired by mail, add postage at 
the rate of 15 cents for first pound, 5 cents for second pound. See 
table above, at right, for larger quantities. 
PLEASE WRITE PLAINLY, your name, post office, rural route 
and state on each order. 
NON-WARRANTY: Farmers and gardeners of experience know 
that success with seeds depends primarily on weather conditions 
and proper cultivation, so in accordance with the custom of the trade 
and more specifically the American Seed Trade Association, ‘‘The 
Wetsel Seed Co., Inc., gives no warranty, express or implied, as to the 
productiveness of any seeds or bulbs it sells and will not be in any 
way responsible for the crop. Our liability, in all instances, is limited 
to the purchase price of the seed.” 

Concerning prices in this catalogue: It is a matter of common 
knowledge that prices of field seeds, such as clovers, grasses, grains, 
potatoes, etc., fluctuate from month to month, often from week to 
week. In normal times (if there be such, any more) the price of gar- 
den seeds and to a large degree manufactured goods, remains fairly 
stable; consequently, catalogue prices usually hold good for a season. 
However, it is rather evident that the ‘‘rough” times predicted 
here last year will continue through the coming season. Prices are 
very unstable and are likely to remain so for some time. Prices 
of a few items remain strong, but weak spots are also present. Con- 
flicting trends and ‘‘cross currents’? will almost certainly continue 
in both commodities and manufactured items. 
Accordingly, we must emphasize the fact that all prices in this 
catalogue are subject to change. Price changes, especially advances, 
will be avoided wherever possible and we will lower prices to meet 
changed conditions as readily as we will make necessary advances, or 
more so.
