and a great many other contingencies may arise to prevent the 

 best seeds from giving satisfaction, and for all these reasons we can- 

 not, of course guarantee or be responsible for a crop, as success is 

 dependant upon natural causes, which are beyond human control. 

 Therefore we do not warrant in any way, express or implied, the con- 

 tents, or the description, quality, productiveness, or anj^ other mat- 

 ter of any seeds, bulbs, or plants sold by us, and we will not be in 

 any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept 

 these goods on above terms, no sale is made thereof, and he must re- 

 turn them at once, and money will be re- 

 funded. Subject to above conditions we 

 make this sale, at the moderate prices at 

 which we sell our goods.
