 Catalog, to any Postoffice or Station in the United States, except 

 where otherwise stated. 



PURCHASERS PAY transportation on Tools, Fertilizers, etc. 



PLANTS BY EXPRESS are not delivered free. Small plants are 

 mailed with the soil removed from the roots. It is better, how- 

 ever, to have the soil left on the roots, especially the larger ones, 

 and we advise shipping by express when possible.

WE GUARANTEE our Seeds to be thoroughly tested and such as 

 will produce good crops under favorable conditions. That all Seeds 

 will be delivered in good condition to our customers, by freight, 

 express or parcel post. 



NON-WARRANTY. Failures with seeds are mostly due to causes 

 entirely beyond our control, such as too deep or too shallow plant- 

 ing, unfavorable weather or soil conditions, etc., and while we 

 warrant all our Seeds to grow and produce good crops under proper 

 conditions, and great care is taken in filling orders, we give no 

 warranty, express or implied, as to the description, quality, product- 

 iveness or any other matter of Seeds, Bulbs, etc., we sell, nor will 

 we be responsible for the crops. The purchaser must, therefore, 

 accept goods ordered from us on these terms, or no sale is made.
