Special attention of transportation companies, importers, custom house 

 brokers, dealers and nurserymen is called to sections 304 and 305 of the

 two hundred and sixty-three or any other section of this chapter shall be 

 construed to deprive a purchaser of any fruit-bearing tree of his remedy at 

 law in a civil action to recover damages sustained by reason of such trees 

 proving untrue to name as specified on the label. Such damages may be 

 recovered in a civil action by the purchaser of such fruit-bearing trees or by 

 his personal representative or assignee at any time prior to the third bearing 

 year, provided the purchaser notifies the seller as soon as he has reason to 

 believe that such trees are not true to name. In any action to recover dam- 

 ages suffered by the purchaser by reason of any fruit tree or trees not being 

 of the name or variety under which they were tagged and sold, the seller shall 

 have the burden of proof in establishing that any contract or any provision 

 of any such contract exempting the seller from liability or limiting his liability 

 was agreed to by the purchaser. In every case of a sale of fruit-bearing trees 

 in lots of twenty-five or more, the seller must at once furnish the purchaser 

 a copy of such contract upon the face of which shall be plainly printed the 

 following: "In any action to recover damages suffered by the purchaser by 

 reason of any fruit tree or trees not being of the name or variety under 

 which they were tagged and sold, the seller shall have the burden of proof 

 in establishing that any contract or any provision of any such contract
