ORDER EARLY—It is advisable to send in your order as early as pos-

promptly when received; almost all are sent out the same day that 
we receive them. 
If for any reason orders cannot be shipped immedi- 
ately, we will acknowledge order stating when shipment can be made. 
PRICES—All prices quoted in this catalog are those ruling January 1, 
1952, and are subject to market changes. As far as possible we will 
fill all orders for such seeds in full, but if market values will not 
permit this, we will send all that money remitted will pay for.
