Instructions for Ordering and General Information

=To avoid misunderstanding and unnecessary correspondence, please read this page carefully before making out your order=

VERY IMPORTANT

Be sure your order is correctly made out by following closely the instructions given on this page. Always sign your name the same and please write plainly as this assists us in giving orders and letters prompt attention.

WE DO NOT EMPLOY AGENTS

Beware of anyone claiming to be our agent. Genuine Kellogg Pedigree Plants can be obtained only by sending your order direct to R. M. Kellogg Company, Three Rivers, Mich.

WHEN TO ORDER

Your order should be sent to us as early as possible. The earlier it is received, the more certain you will be to get your choice of varieties.

OUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We acknowledge receipt of all orders promptly. If you do not receive acknowledgment within a reasonable time, write us,--giving full description of your order and remittance.

CORRESPONDENCE

If you have occasion to write us regarding order after it has been booked, always refer to the order number.

ADDITIONAL ORDERS

Additional plants may be ordered at any time but if an additional order is received after April 1st, it will be booked and shipped separately. Orders are not subject to cancellation and we cannot change any order after April 1st.

ORDER IN MULTIPLES OF 25 PLANTS

Kellogg Pedigree Plants are accurately counted and tied into bunches of 25 plants, each bunch containing a label giving the name and sex of the variety. We do not furnish less than 25 plants of any variety and plants of each variety must be ordered in exact multiples of 25; that is, 25, 50, 75, 100 and so on.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS

Advise us promptly of change of address, giving both your old and new addresses.

OUR TERMS

With the single exception of Public Institutions, we do not ship plants until full payment has been received. Please do not ask us to ship C. O. D. as we positively cannot deviate from this rule. If your order amounts to more than $5.00 and you cannot conveniently remit full amount when ordering, a remittance of one-third will reserve the plants but the balance must be remitted not later than April 1st. Full payment should accompany orders amounting to less than $5.00 and all orders which are sent to us after March 15th.

HOW TO SEND MONEY

If possible, remittance should be made by Postoffice or Express Money Order or by Bank Draft. If this is not convenient send registered letter or personal check, adding 10 cents for exchange if you remit by check.

SPRING SHIPMENTS ONLY

It is advisable to have your plants shipped as early as possible. We begin digging and shipping in the spring as soon as weather permits (usually about April 1st) and continue until May 25th. We positively cannot ship at any other time of the year. If you specify shipping date, we shall follow your instructions as closely as possible, otherwise we shall use our own judgment.

SUBSTITUTION

We seldom find it necessary to substitute but if, when it comes time to ship your order, we are unable to furnish certain varieties you have ordered, may we substitute in their place varieties of equal or greater value? It is very important that you answer “Yes” or “No” in proper place on Order Sheet, naming second choice of varieties if substitution will meet with your approval. If you do not indicate your wish, we shall assume that you wish us to use our judgment. We shall not substitute, however, unless necessary.

CLAIMS

Any claim for mistakes or adjustment must be made immediately upon receipt of plants. In reporting any discrepancy please state the number of plants of each variety, also number of crates or packages received and date received. This will assist us in making a prompt investigation.

_Our Guaranty_

_With our careful methods of growing, labeling and packing plants, mistakes are practically impossible. We therefore guarantee Kellogg Pedigree Plants to be true to name and free from insects and fungous diseases, however in no event will we be responsible for more than the amount paid us for the plants._

_Kellogg Pedigree Plants are delivered to the Transportation Company in first-class condition and thereupon our responsibility ceases. We cannot and will not be in any way responsible for the crop, for loss or delay after plants are turned over to the Transportation Company, or for inability to fill any order on account of shortage of plants, conditions resulting from an act of Nature, labor situation or any other cause beyond our control. It is mutually understood and agreed between the customer and ourselves that all orders are placed and accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions herein provided._
