Delaware, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Virginia or Connecticut. (This does NOT 
apply to Seed Potatoes, which are shipped freight charges collect.) 
SHIPMENT BY TRUCK

lines ... to many points, Maybe to a town near you. Enclosed circular explains. 
Hoffman pays the trucking-charge to Receiving-Points named, on Seed-shipments 
weighing 100 pounds or more. But not on Potatoes, which are shipped ‘charges collect.’ 
BAGS ARE FREE 
When you make up your Hoffman Seed order, you don’t have to figure anything 
“extra” for bags needed to ship seeds. 
MAIL COST [IS EXTRA 
Hoffman does NOT pay the cost of mailing seed (except on items quoted “Postpaid” 
on Price List). Consult mailman for rates. 
EXPRESS ... TOO COSTLY 
and charges NOT paid by Hoffman. Shipping seed by express costs entirely too 
much, unless it weighs but a few pounds, If you demand express shipment, we’ll 
mark charges COLLECT at your station. And if 100 pounds or over, allow you 
the amount we would have prepaid as “freight” charges. 
HOW TO PAY 
Most folks send payment (check or money order) right along with their seed order. 
Some prefer to have their seed shipped by railroad freight C.O.D., paying the 
freight agent when shipment arrives. This plan can be used ONLY if there IS 
AN AGENT at your station.
