NON-WARRANTY. ‘Steckler’ seeds and 
plants are most carefully selected and 
handled to insure prime condition. How- 
ever, in growing plants from seeds and in 
setting out plants, so many contingencies 
arise, dependent on weather and other con- 
ditions over which we have no control, 
that we cannot guarantee successful crops. 
We will send out only seeds and plants 
which we believe will.grow and produce 
the kind of plants and varieties repre- 
sented. But— 
THE J. STECKLER SEED CO., Ltd. 
gives no warranty, express or implied, as 
to description, quality and productiveness, 
or any other matter of any seeds, plants, 
trees and bulbs it sells and we will not be 
in any way responsible for the crop. If 
the purchaser does not accept the goods on 
these terms, they are to be returned at 
once and the amount paid will be refunded.

We have discontinued the 5 cents 
packages altogether on flower and 
vegetable seeds, because the quantity 
in a 5 cents package does not give 
enough seed to be of any benefit.

noted, will be 10 cents per packet; 
3 packets, 25c.; $1.00 per dozen, post- 
paid.
