 not hold ourselves responsible for cash

Guarantee. We give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to description, purity or productive- 

 ness or any other matter of any seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, and will not be in any way 

 responsible for the crop. If purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms they are to be 

 returned at once. There are many reasons why seeds do not always turn out as desired, such as 

 sowing too deep or too shallow, in too wet weather, cold weather or too dry soil, or too wet soil, 

 insects which do not only destroy the seeds, but often the young plants, about the time they appear 

 at the surface of the ground. For these causes we cannot guarantee seeds or the crop.
