              58 CAN NELLS'    SEED    GUIDE,    19X4.
A   FEW    POINTS   WORTH    ATTENTION.
FREE CARRIAGE OF SEEDS.—We send all Vegetable and Flower Seeds carriage paid to any place in the United Kingdom, excepting,
Peas and Beans, Potatoes. Artichokes, and special quotations, when any or all of these are ordered in small quantities, as in many such
coses the carriage nearly, if not quite, absorbs the value of the goods.
Potatoes and Sundries, kc., are only sent free if the value amounts to 20j. in England, and 40s. in Scotland and Ireland, and upwards, when we
send the whole' carriage paid.    We do not pay carriage on Pot Plants, Trees, Shrubs, or Bulbs ; but extra plants, kc, are added gratis in lieu of carriage.
EMPTY   PACKAGES. —We charge at cost price, and allow two-thirds prico if returned in good condition and carriage paid, and must be in all
cases accompanied with sender's name and address and advised by post.
'Htf Although every care will be taken in the packing and sending of plants, seeds, &c, risk of every description must be bomo by the purchaser
immediately they are delivered to the Kalway Company or Postal Authorities.
Every article is charged at the vary lowest price. Our object is to give the ready-money buyers the advantages they
are really entitled to. It may happen that prices lower than ours may sometimes be quoted. This invariably means
false economy in a variety of wavs -good things must be looked after by good men, who must be fairly paid, and
good strains are only procured by unceasing labour and care.
Full instructions as to the proper mode of forwarding must accompany each order, as it is calculated to expedite transit of goods, and saves
gr^Hp- vexatious mistakes.    All goods are advised the same day as forwarded, and the invoice posted as soon as possible afterwards.
«^^      Say by what rail.    Please to write the address plain and in full on each order.    No complaints entertained unless made immediately
on receipt of goods.

It is particularly requested that all small orders under 10s. be accompanied -with remittance to avoid the
necessity of Booking, and very often the trouble of rendering and even re-rendering several times to our
loss and probable annoyance to our Customers.
Cash with order is a sound way of doing business, and it enables us to give you advantages
in our goods and also prices.
All Orders by Post will be dealt with precisely as if given personally.    Those who send above their value
•will have additional put in to make up the full amount.

cases.      Plants ill suitable boxes.

Not as in co-operative societies, do we demand payment beforehand, unless from unknown correspondents, when satisfactory references to bankers,
or some person already known, arc equally acceptable. So as to encourage quick returns and but small profits, we allow 5 per cent, discount (excepting
Collections of Seeds, which are strictly nctt) on all payments made within 14 days of date of invoice, but after that date must be remitted in full,
When speoial prices are quoted, accounts are payable one month from date of invoice and no discount. We cannot undertake to send a receipt for payments
under 2s. (id., unless the return postage is sent us.
We hope all customers will apprise us of change of address, thus saving the annoyance to them of redirection by postal officials ; a halfpenny card
would thus save us a shilling, and often pounds. Should any Customers not receive our Catalogues at the usual seasons of the year, we shall be pleased
to send copies of same upon hearing from them.     Many are lost in transit.
Kl (~\ "1" I /"* C   We  grow  our  own  Seeds,  and   every  possible   pains  taken,  and   the  strictest  attention   is  paid  to  have ane
■ ~ v^   I   iVJL supply every item as per Catalogue;   but there are  so  many always anxious to  rush  into  litigation for the
sake  of compensation  for  any  trifle,  and   failures  which   may occur  over which   perhaps we have  no control, that we ard
compelled  to  issue this  notice :—
("JONDITIOKm    OF    ^Al    F     —We believe that all Seeds, Bulbs and Roots sold by us are of the description
WVMUI   *   •v-'l'O-'    >-"■       VJ/-VI_l_. and  kind  Specified   by us at the  time  of sale;   but owing to the  practical
impossibility, in many cases, of being certain of this, we give no undertaking that such Seeds, Bulbs or Roots will correspond
with the description under which they are sold, and we make all sales subject to this condition. We further give no Warranty,
express or implied, as to their growth, description, quality or productiveness, and will not be in any way responsible for the
Crop. If the Purchaser does not accept the goods sold to him on these terms, they are at once to be returned to us. (These
conditions will be found in all Seed Catalogues.)
We have received intimation from the various Railway Companies that for the future they will
not pay any claims for damage or delay of goods sent at "Owner's Risk" rates; we therefore beg to
inform our customers that our responsibility ceases as soon as goods are delivered into the hands of
the Railway Company, and, in justice to ourselves, we cannot supply otherwise than on these conditions.
All goods forwarded at "Owner's Risk" effect a great saving in cost of carriage, and which we consider
of great interest to our patrons; we shall therefore continue to dispatch parcels at "Owner's Risk"
unless specially requested to forward them at "Company" Risk.
