Shipping Charges 
Prepaid Items: Except for Beans, Sweet Corn 
and Peas, we pay shipping charges on all vege- 
table and flower seeds in the U.S.A. (Not 
Canada). We usually send small lots by paréel 
post and larger lots by freight. If you want a 
shipment by parcel post which we could send 
more economically by freight, please consult 
your post office and include postage with your 
remittance; we will then refund the freight rate. 
If you specify express, we will ship by express 
collect and refund the freight rate. 
Not Prepaid Items: Beans, Sweet Corn and 
Peas are shipped at your expense unless your 
seed order (not including Farm Seeds, Acces- 
sories, etc.) amounts to $20.00 or over. We will 
then prepay by freight or parcel post, whichever 
is less. If wanted by express or mail on larger 
lots, see above. 
Field and Grass Seeds, Onion Sets, Plants, 
Roots, Accessories, ete., are shipped at your ex- 
pense, except where quoted postpaid. Specify 
parcel post, express, freight or truck—note ship- 
ping weights. 
Method of Shipment 
PARCEL POST. Rates are now very high, but 
shipments under 50 lbs. are still less than 
freight up to 300 miles. Beyond that, only 35 
ibs. or less are cheaper. Consult your post office 
for rates and send payment for postage on mot 
prepaid items. 
EXPRESS. Rates are high but service usually 
fast. Sent collect (see above). Be sure to give 
your nearest express office. 
FREIGHT. Cheapest for large shipments but 
often slow. Minimum is $2.50. Allow for delay 
and give nearest freight office and railroad. 
TRUCK. Where direct service is available from 
Rochester, truck is usually faster than rail 
freight at slightly higher cost. No C.O.D. ship- 
ments by truck. 
CONDITIONS OF SALE 
All of our seed is thoroughly tested for vitality 
and germination, and every package is marked 
with the results of our tests. We guarantee 
arrival in good condition and warrant to the full 
amount of the purchase price that our seeds and 
plants are of good vitality and true to name as 
described on the container. So many other fac- 
tors besides the seed influence the success or 
failure of crops that, in common with all re- 
sponsible seedsmen, we specifically limit our 
liability in all instances to the purchase price of 
the seed. 
PRICES are subject to change without notice and 
to our stocks being unsold. For smaller quanti- 
ties than listed here, refer to our general catalog 
which will be mailed to you separately. 
PLEASE ORDER EARLY. While we can give 
your orders prompt service here, we suggest you 
allow for possible delay in shipping next spring.
