Prices Postpaid only in U.S.A.; Foreign Postage Extra. 



NON-WARRANTY 



Sometimes, though not often, our seeds do not come up 

 after planting. This may be due to one or more of several 

 reasons, such as covering too deeply or not deeply enough, too 

 much or too little water, too cold weather or a baking sun 

 which forms a crust too hard for the tender shoots to penetrate. 

 Sometimes insects destroy plants at the surface before they are 

 seen by the gardener. We cannot personally direct the use of 

 our goods after they leave our hands; neither can we fully 

 control anywhere or at any time the operation of natural law 



as it affects seeds; therefore, we give no warranty, express or 

 implied, as to description, purity, productiveness, or any other 

 matter of any seeds or bulbs we send out, and we will not be 

 in any way responsible for the crop. 



We are not bound for any definite time or quantity by the 

 prices quoted in this catalogue, and they are subject to change 

 without notice. We recommend that you order as early as 

 possible.
