are so many contingencies that we cannot, in any way, hold ourselves responsible for the condition, 
in which Plants or Bulbs reach their destination. Our Customers mill confer a favour if they report,, 
on arrival, the condition of the goods. Our experience in successfully preparing and shipping Seeds v 
Bulbs, and Plants to India and the Colonies extends over a long period.
