INFORMATION ABOUT ORDERING 
In a large, world-wide operation, such as we maintain much better service is possible 
when a uniform routine is followed as nearly as possible. It is not practical to cover the 
information given here completely in every pricelist we send out so this annual summary 
is given for guidance throughout the year. It will help us to serve you better where you 
know the normal procedure and business terms. 
FOREIGN DELIVERIES 
We appreciate the extensive business from customers living outside the United States 
as well as that from domestic customers and in all cases we will do all we can to give good 
service and delivery on quality products. There is, however, problems of export and import 
which are beyond our control and usual procedures are given here. 
SEEDS: In smaller quantities can usually be sent by letter post without much conflicting regulations 
and are usually forwarded in that manner, Larger orders may require port of entry or tariff permits, 
Check this and supply any papers or forms required by your country. 
BULBS OR TUBERS: May be sent to most countries with reasonable safety but the purchaser should 
inquire as to regulations applying in his country and supply any special papers or forms that we are 
to be required to fill out at time order is made. CANADIAN customers will have to apply to Ottawa 
for an import permit with which will be issued a shipping label that must be forwarded to us to 
make shipment. 
PLANTS: We make NO ATTEMPT to export live plants as delays in inspection makes delivery in 
good order doubtful. 
DELIVERY BY AIR 
Air transport affords a saving in time that is of value over long distances but not much under 
500 miles. It may save as much as six days turn around transcontinental. 
FREE AIR SERVICE ON SEEDS: It has been our policy for more than 20 years to give free Air 
service on seeds where order arrives by air and is accompanied by full remittance. This applies to 
seeds only that have a per ounce price of $5.00 or more and where order is for $3.00 or more. 
PLANTS AND BULBS: The cost of air transportation on these in most cases is prohibitive. By Air 
Parcel Post charges start at 60¢ per pound and goes to 80¢ per pound from Chicago east. Air 
Express is still more costly, in some cases reaching or exceeding $1.00 per pound. Where this service 
is desired on this material, remit adequately to cover it or we will make balance OC. O. D. 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE 
ALL OFFERS ARE SUBJECT TO CROP AND AVAILABILITY AT TIME 
ORDER IS RECEIVED. 
ORDER IN TIME: Catalogues and pricelists are issued as nearly as practical, either just in advance 
or at the start of the major seasons when material offered is of a seasonal nature. We are ready to 
ship or book orders at time offer is released in accord with information stated. Advanced or prompt 
ordering of your seasons requirements at that time will make possible better service although we 
will at all times render the best pessible service. Unless there is a special reason for not doing so 
we will ship all orders in sequence of their arrival just as quickly as possible. As we produce much 
of our stock, crop, harvest and demand may affect deliveries although seldom very much. 
MINIMUM ORDERS: Because of present high overhead in the seed business we must decline any order 
for seeds amounting to less than $1.00; for plants or bulbs amounting to Jess than $2.00. We do not 
supply any quantities smaller than the minimum units listed. Intermediate amounts less than 100 
will be supplied at the rate of the next smaller quantity listed. Where 250 of an item is quoted not 
less than 500 will be supplied at the 1,000 rate but otherwise 250 will be given the 1,000 rate.

with us. To establish an account initial order must be for $25.00 or more and proper commercial or

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: Because of the variability of culture and climate, as well as the skill of
