HOW TO ORDER—Use enclosed order sheet and envelope. Write your 
Full Name and Address plainly. State How You Want Your Order 
Shipped, giving Post Office, State, R.F.D. No., Box or Street and No. 
ORDER EARLY—It is advisable to send in your order as early as pos- 
' sible for some varieties of seeds are in short supply. Orders are filled 
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. 
POSTPAID PRICES—ALL prices quoted in this catalog postpaid include 
mailing charges through the Third Zone (300 miles from Memphis) only. 
We reserve the right to accept or reject any order for shipment beyond 
this distance. 
CASH WITH ORDER—Please send money with order sufficient to cover 
the whole bill and remit by postal or express money order, bank. draft 
or check. If currency is used, the letter should be registered. For 
amounts less than $2.00, stamps are acceptable. We accept, but ad- 
vise against C.O.D. orders because of delays and high collection

us if uncalled for and returned at our expense. No C.O.D. shipment 
ene made on Perishable Merchandise, such as Plants, Nursery 
tock.
