WE GUARANTEE our seeds, plants, etc., to reach our 

 customer in good condition. We give no warranty, ex- 

 pressed or implied, as to description, purity of productive-

 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, and the money 

 that has been paid for same will be refounded. There are 

 many reasons why seeds do not always turn out as de- 

 sired such as sowing too deep or too shallow, in too wet 

 weather, cold weather or too dry soil, or too wet soil, in- 

 sects 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.
