will if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as ourselves: ¥ P

informed of the fact. Goods sent in any other way are solely at purchaser’s risk. Frequently it happens that — 
orders never reach us or are without signature. When customers fail to receive their packages in a reasonable ~ 
time they should inform us, and at the same time send a copy of their order and any other information neces- — 
sary to trace the goods. Claims for damage must be made on receipt of goods. We do not hold ourselves respon- 
sible for failures after delivery of the goods in good condition. 
ERRORS.—We exercise the utmost care in filling orders striving to do a little more than we offer; yet in the press” F

such corrections as will be satisfactory. Please keep copies of all your orders for comparison.

STATE; also give number of street or P. O. Box as distinctly as possible; also the NEAREST EXPR 
OFFICE, or, if on a stage route, send us special directions. 
NON WARRANT Y.— Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our contro 
such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which renders it impossil 
for us to guarantee success, and although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as will, under prop 
conditions, produce satisfactory results, we still 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 every — 
order for articles named in this catalogue will 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 out only such stock 
as will not only grow, but prove true to name and description. ‘
