important Directions To 
Customers 
By carefully observing the following direc- 
tions, mistakes and misunderstandings 
will be very largely avoided. 
How to Order—Be careful to sign your name, 
box number, street or rural route, post office 
and state on every order. Be sure to tell us 
your nearest Express or Freight Office should 
you desire the seed or merchandise forwarded 
by express, freight or truck line. 
Cash With Orders or C.O.D.—Ours is a 
cash business. Prices are made on that basis. 
Customers are requested to remit when ordering 
and by so doing save the C.0.D. fee charged 
by express companies, banks, and postal author- 
ities for collecting and returning money. 
Perishable Items Not Sent C.O.D.— Perish- 
able items such as rose bushes, nursery stock, 
seed potatoes, etc., are not sent C.O.D. under 
any circumstances. 
How to Send Remittance— Remittances 
should be made by postal money orders, checks 
or cash, PLEASE DO NOT SEND STAMPS. 
Transportation and Sales Tax Charges— 
Please bear in mind that the postpaid prices 
indicated in this price list include delivery to 
any point in Florida 
In making your order do not fail to include 
the necessary postage when the items you are 
ordering are not marked “Postpaid.” Often, 
especially on small packages, you can save 
money by taking advantage of the lower parcel 
post rates. If you fail to include postage, we 
will necessarily have to reduce the order or 
send “Express or Freight Collect.” Also be 
sure to include with your remittance the “State 
Sales Tax” on non-exempt merchandise. 
When shipments are to be made by Express 
or Freight, it is very important to designate 
your Express or Freight Station. 
Prices Subject to Change— The prices in- 
dicated in this planting guide supercede all for- 
mer quotations, including catalogs and previous 
price lists. 
This planting guide is printed during the 
summer. The market on many items of garden 
and field seeds, as well as supplies, has not 
been fully established. Consequently, prices 
on these items indicate value at time these 
pages are printed. In practically all cases 
orders will be filled at prices indicated in this 
guide. However, all prices listed are subject 
to change without notice. Write for special 
prices on larger quantities. 
Return of Seeds for Exchange—To §safe- 
guard our customers and ourselves we will not 
permit seeds to be returned if the package con- 
taining the seeds has been broken. Unbroken 
packages may be returned for exchange within 
a period of ten days after we have sent out the 
seeds, in case a mistake has been made in fill- 
ing your order, and we will gladly make cor- 
rection without any expense to you. No cus- 
tomer would want to plant seed that had been 
returned from broken or opened packages, nor 
would we feel safe in filling an order with such 
returned seed. 
Warranty and Limitation of Liability— 
We warrant that the seeds, bulbs and plants 
we sell are, at the time of delivery, as described 
on the container within recognized tolerances; 
but we limit our liability on this warranty to 
the amount of the purchase price of such seeds, 
bulbs and plants. We give no other or further 
warranty express or implied. THE KILGORE 
SEED COMPANY.
