General Directions to Customers 
The attention of customers is respectfully called to the following directions, 
which will, if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as to us. 
ORDER EARLY. We aim to execute all orders as soon as received, but during the 
rush season from March to May and again from July to September, slight delays are 
unavoidable, which, however, can be largely overcome by patrons anticipating their 
wants and ordering and taking delivery of their requirements early. 
SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES. We guarantee the safe arrival of all goods sent by 
express or mail to points within the United States. If a package sent by express or mail 
is injured or lost, we will replace it as soon as informed of the fact. Goods sent any 
other way are solely at purchaser's risk. When customers. fail to receive their packages 
in a reasonable time they should inform us, and at the same time send a copy of their 
order and any other information necessary to trace the goods. Claims for damage must 
be made on receipt of goods. We do not hold ourselves responsible for failure after de- 
livery of the goods in good condition. 
ERRORS. We exercise the utmost care in filling orders, yet in the press of business 
errors sometimes occur, in which event we wish to be promptly notified of the fact, and 
will make such corrections as will be satisfactory. Please keep copies of all your orders 
for comparison. 
REMITTANCES should be made by Post Office Money Order, Express Money Order 
or Checks, we disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not made as above di-

add 10 cents for collection fee. 
CASH WITH ORDER. Please send money with the order sufficient to cover the 
whole bill. We decline sending goods “Collect on Delivery” unless remittance be made 
on account to guarantee acceptance. 
NON-WARRANTY. Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to 
causes entirely beyond our control. such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too 
deep or too shallow planting, etc., which renders it impossible for us to guarantee 
success, and although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as will, under 
proper conditions, produce satisfactory results, we will give no warranty as to description, 
quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, and will not 
be in any way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in this 
catalog will be executed on these conditions only. It must, however, be plain to every- 
one who gives the matter the slightest thought that it is to our best interests to send 
out only such stock as will not only grow, but prove true to name and description.
