2. SEED AND PLANT CATALOGUE.

Our Terms.-Cash must accompany all orders, as we do not keep any book accounts in the mail department of our business. No goods will be sent C. O. D., except seeds and implements, and we cannot send these in this manner unless at least one fourth of the bill is remitted with the order as a guarantee of good faith.

We offer the following inducements for the formation of clubs in ordering seeds. The same will, of course, be given to anyone person ordering these quantities, for himself alone.

These premiums apply to seeds in packets only, at catalogue rates.

You may select seeds in packets amounting to... $1.20 for $1.00.
[ditto]... 2.50 for 2.00.
[ditto]... 3.75 for 3.00.
[ditto]... 5.00 for 4.00.
[ditto]... 6.50 for 5.00.
[ditto]... 18.00 for 10.00.
[ditto]... 28.00 for 20.00.

Premiums on flower plants are the same as the above.

We will also give a good premium on all orders for seeds in bulk amounting to $5.00 or over. Market Gardeners and others wanting large quantities of seeds are requested to write for special prices, sending a list of seeds wanted.

Our Responsibility.-As this book will probably go into the hands of many who are unacquainted with us this question will naturally arise, and in answer to same we respectfully refer you, by permission, to the following Des Moines parties: Messrs. John Beckwith, Postmaster; J. J. Towne, President of the Valley National Bank; C. F. Demuth, Agent of the American Express Company, and E. L. Smith, Agent of the United States Express Company.

Finally Remember-That our stock of seed is entirely fresh and reliable, and with proper treatment they will grow and give satisfaction.

That all seeds are carefully tested and nothing sent out which we do not believe to be good in every respect. Our facilities for testing seeds are not excelled by any.

That your order will be filled promptly and well.

That all seeds and plants, except those noted, are sent prepaid by mail, unless ordered otherwise, and we guarantee their safe arrival.

That our prices are as low as good reliable seeds can be sold at.

That we will be responsible that all money sent by Bank Draft, Money Order, or Registered Letter, will reach us. When the order amounts to $2.00 or over, the expense of sending money may be deducted from amount sent. Our patrons will find that the new Postal Notes are quite convenient. Postage stamps (1 cent and 2 cent preferred) taken same as money.

Warranting Seeds.-While we have taken the greatest pains to have all seed sent out by us
pure, of good quality and thoroughly reliable in every respect, and it would injure us more than it would the customers to have any prove otherwise, still as there are so many causes for failure besides the quality of the seeds, we want it to be distinctly understood that we do not warrant them, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage arising from their failure to grow and produce a good crop. But, however, we have so much faith in them that we hereby agree to refill the order without charge, should they prove otherwise.

We will be pleased to hear from our customers at any time about their plants and garden. If you are successful we are glad to know it, and if you have trouble with either plants or seeds, write to us and any suggestions or information we can impart will be cheerfully given.
Your Friends,
CHAS. N. PAGE, JAY KELSEY}

P. S.-Please send us the name and address of any persons in your neighborhood who use any flower or vegetable seeds, and we will send them our catalogue. By doing this you will confer a favor on us and them also, which we will be glad to reciprocate.
