DIRECTIONS 
By carefully reading and observing the following directions, mis- 
takes will be largely avoided, and your order can be filled more 
promptly. 
Please use the enclosed Order Sheet and self-addressed envelope 
if possible. If you need more, let me know and I will be glad to send 
more to you. 
Write your name, address and shipping directions plainly. 
Always send the cash with your order, unless otherwise agreed 
upon. Money may be sent by P. O. Money Order, Bank Draft or Reg- 
istered Letter. Stamps may be sent for amounts under $1.00, but be 
sure to put in three-cent stamps, wrapped in waxed paper. 
We pay the postage on all seeds sold by the pkt., oz. and %4 Ib. 
Quantities over that are priced net, to be shipped Parcel Post, freight 
or express, at purchaser’s expense, unless otherwise stated. 
If you desire your seed sent by Parcel Post, add 12c for the first 
lb. and 2c for each additional lb. of your order, allowing 3 lbs. extra 
for package. For amount of postage on plants see Plant Department. 
These rates are for anywhere on Long Island. 
By pricing my seeds net, postage extra, you get your seeds deliv- 
ered for less money than if I quoted a Postpaid price as the 12c per lb. 
extra would have to be counted in and added to each single lb. priced. 
1% Ibs. will be sold at lb. rates; 1% bu. at bushel rates. 
No charge is made for packing or packages. 
NOTE—In all orders received before April 1st we include trial 
packets of different kinds of seed, the number of packets depending 
upon the size of your order. If you find any of these of particular 
value we would be pleased to hear of it. 
If you cannot use this catalog or receive more than one, will you 
kindly pass it on to someone interested? Thank you. 

NOTICE—I give no warranty, express or implied, as to the pro- 
ductiveness of any seeds, bulbs, plants, shrubs or trees sold by 
me, and I will net be in any way responsible for the crop. My 
liability in all instances is limited tu the purchase price.
