The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, which will, if followed, be an 

 aid to purchasers as well as ourselves: 



ORDER EARLY. -We aim to execute all orders as soon as received, but during the rush season from March to May delays are un-

 give number of street or P. O. Box as distinctly as possible; also the NEAREST EXPRESS OFFICE, or, if on a stage route,

NON- WARRANTY. — Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as unfavor- 

 able weather or soO conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which renders it impossible for us to guarantee success, and 

 although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as will, under proper conditions, produce satisfactory results, we 

 stm give no warranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, and will not 

 be in any way responsible for the crop, and everj' order for articles named in this catalogue wiU be executed on these conditions 

 only. It must, however, be plain to every one who gives the matter the slightest thought that it is to our best interests to send 

 ©ut only such stock as will not only grow, but prove true to name and description.
