 About Prices 



Parcels weighing less than 10 pounds, 

 measuring over 84 inches but not more 

 than 100 inches in length and girth com- 

 bined, are subject to a minimum charge 

 equal to that for a 10-pound parcel for the 

 zone to which addressed. 



Should the Federal Government or any State increase by 

 taxes, or otherwise, the cost or selling price of any merchandise 

 listed in this Catalog, we reserve the right to add such taxes 

 or other increases of cost to the prices in this book. All prices 

 are subject to change without notice. 



NON- WARRANTY. Our seeds are carefully selected and are the best that can be obtained. For your further protection, we test all 

 seeds before placing them on the market. Because success in gardening depends largely on cultivation, soil, and weather conditions, Griffith 

 & Turner Company give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to description, purity, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds or bulbs 

 we sell, and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. Every order for these articles received will be accepted on these conditions only.
