 as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which renders it impossible for us to

 produce satisfactory- results, we still give no warranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, 

 plants or t)ull)s we send out, and ^vill not be in any way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in 

 this catalogue will be executed on tliose conditions only. It must, however, be plain to everyone who gives the matter 

 the slightest thouglit, that it is to our best interest to send out only such stock as will not only grow but prove true to 

 name and description.
