TOP NOTCH SEEDS Green Ink Special Price List No. 39 On “Top Notch” Garden and Field Seeds and Fertilizers Described in Our 1925 Spring Catalog. JANUARY 2, 1925 OUR PROMISE — We will endeavor to ship you only stocks that we have every reason to feel proud of — we will examine every shipment before it leaves for you to see that it is right. We want you to be successful with the seeds you buy from us. We want every purchase to be satisfactory to you — more than that we will do everything in our power to make your trading with us a pleasure. These are special prices in effect today F. O. B. Memphis on larger quan-. tities than are quoted in the Catalog. The Catalog goes to the printer so early that prices on various crops have not been determined, therefore we can only quote in the Catalog prices on very small quantities. You will note these Green Ink prices are much lower than the Catalog — They represent the regular market prices in Memphis today on seeds of the extra fine quality we handle. We could furnish cheaper seed, but they would not produce anything like as good crops as our “Top-Notch” seeds, so you would lose money by planting them. The very best quality you can buy in seeds will be the cheapest to you in the long run. All prices quoted on this Green Ink list are for immediate acceptance and subject to market changes and unsold stocks. Some crops are short this year and prices may advance any day. We will protect our customers as long as we are able, but we are. often forced to advance our prices from day to day, according to changes in the market. All prices on this green ink list are F. O. B. Memphis. Customers pay all carrying charges, either by express or freight, or parcel post. If you order to come by parcel post* be sure to include money for postage. TERMS: — Cash with order.
