important Directions To 
Customers 
By carefully observing the following directions, 
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. Cus- 
tomers are requested to remit when ordering 
and by so doing save the C.O.D. fee charged by 
express companies, banks, and postal authorities 
for collecting and returning money. 
Perishable Items Not Sent C.O.D.—Perishable 
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, in order to 
avoid delay in filling your order, be sure to in- 
clude with your remittance the proper amount 
of “State Sales Tax’’ on non-exempt merchandise 
as indicated in next column. We are not per- 
mitted by law to assume the Sales Tax. 
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 indicated 
in this planting guide supercede all former 
quotations, including catalog and previous price 
lists. 
This planting guide is printed during the sum- 
mer. 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 safeguard 
our customers and ourselves we will not permit 
seeds to be returned if the package containing 
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 filling your 
order, and we will gladly make correction with- 
out any expense to you. No customer 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 war- 
rant 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. 
No legal action can be brought on any defect 
or variation resulting from the failure of any 
seed to be as represented unless notice is given 
within a reasonable time, and not later than 15 
days from the time such defect or variation be- 
comes apparent and is observed by the pur- 
chaser. Chapter 26814 Laws of Florida, Acts of 
1951. THE KILGORE SEED COMPANY.
