be largely avoided and your order can be filled more promptly. 
Please use the enclosed Order Sheet and self-addressed envelope if possible. 
If you need more, let me know and | will be glad to send more to you. 
Write your name, address and shipping directions plainly. 
Always send the cash with your order, unless otherwise agreed upon. Money 
may be sent by P. O. Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter. Stamps 
may be sent for amounts under $1.00, but be sure to put in three-cent stamps, 
wrapped in waxed paper. 
We pay the postage on all seeds sold by the pkt., oz. and “lb. Quantities 
over that are priced net, to be shipped Parcel Post, freight or express, at pur- 
chaser's expense, unless otherwise stated. 
If you desire your seed sent by Parcel Post, add 23c for the first lb. and 4c 
for each additional lb. of your order, allowing 3 lbs. extra for package. For 
amount of postage on plants see Plant Department. These rates are for anywhere 
on Long Island. 
By pricing my seeds net, postage extra, you get your seeds delivered for 
less money than if | quoted a Postpaid price as the 23c per lb. extra would have 
to be counted in and added to each single lb. priced. 
V/> Ibs. will be sold at lb. rates; '/> bu. at bushel rates. 
No charge is made for packing: or packages. 
NOTE — In all orders received before April 15th we include trial packets of 
different kinds of seed, the number of packets depending upon the size of your 
order. If you find any of these of particular value, we would be pleased to hear 
of it. 
If you cannot use this catalog or receive more than one, will you kindly pass 
it on to someone interested? Thank you. 
NOTICE — | give no warranty, express or implied, as to the productive- 
ness of any seeds, bulbs or plants, sold by me, and | will not be in any way 
responsible for the crop. My liability in all instances is limited to the
