DELIVERY OF SEEDS 
SHIPPING CHARGES 
We pay transportation charges in the U.S.A. on 
all vegetable and flower seeds except Beans, Peas 
and Sweet Corn. Shipment is made by the most 
economical method, usually freight. If you 
specify express where we would ordinarily ship 
by freight, your order will be sent express 
collect and the freight rate refunded. (Note: 
where parcel post is as economical as freight, as 
on smaller shipments, we ship postpaid.) 
Beans, Peas and Sweet Corn are shipped at 
your expense, except when your seed order 
amounts to $20.00 or more (not including Farm 
Seeds, Accessories, etc.). We will then prepay 
or refund the freight charges. 
Field and Grass Seed, Potatoes, Onion Sets, Plants, 
Roots, Accessories, ete. are shipped at your ex- 
pense (except where quoted Postpaid). Specify 
parcel post, express, freight or truck. Shipping 
weights are given on these items for your 
guidance. 
METHOD OF SHIPMENT 
PARCEL POST. Rates have been increased this 
year but this is still the cheapest way to send 
most shipments under 45 lbs. Ask your post 
office for rates and include postage with your 
remittance for not prepaid items. 
EXPRESS. Rates are high but service is usually 
fast. Sent collect (see above). Be sure to give your 
nearest express office. 
FREIGHT. Economical for most large shipments 
but often slow. Allow extra time for your order 
to reach you. Give nearest freight office and 
railroad. 
TRUCK. Where direct service is available from 
Rochester, this method is usually quicker than 
freight at about the same cost. No C.O.D. 
shipments by truck.

to change without notice and to our stocks being

CONDITIONS OF SALE 
Every lot of seed we sell is thoroughly tested, 
of good vitality and the percentage of germina- 
tion is marked on every package. Since we use 
actual soil tests as well as germinators, the 
results can be used with confidence as a guide 
to planting. 
We assume responsibility of the seeds, plants 
and bulbs reaching the purchaser in good condi- 
tion. However, in common with all responsible 
seedsmen, we give no warranty, express or im- 
plied, as to the productiveness of any seeds, 
plants or bulbs we sell, and we will not be in any 
way responsible for the crop. Our liability in all 
instances is limited to the purchase price of the 
seed. 
PLEASE ORDER EARLY. While we can give your orders prompt service here, we suggest you 
allow for possible delay in shipping next spring.
