Nearly all the Ornamental Grasses are very showy and beautiful, and when dried and tastefully arranged 

 in connection with the Everlasting Flowers, make exceedingly attractive winter bouquets. They are mostly 

 Annuals, and those which are not, with the exception of Pampas Grass, flower the first year.

About Warranting Seeds. 



The question is repeatedly asked us, if we guarantee or warrant seeds. We beg to slate most 

 emphatically that we do not, and our employees have strict orders never to do so in any case. Though 

 well believing that the seeds we offer are unsurpassed in quality, yet our practical experience of 

 many years as Market Gardeners has well assured us of the fact that crops may fail, no matter how 

 fresh or 2?ure the seed sown to produce them may be. Failure of germination of seeds may be pro- 

 duced from causes that the utmost care from the most experienced cultivators cannot control, and the 

 maturing of crops also repeatedly fail, so as to be a total loss, from causes that no human j^ower 

 can avert. Hence, to guarantee seeds to invariably produce a perfect crop would be little short of 

 quackery.
