tion ; and it must therefore be clearly understood that our responsibility ceases upon the final acceptance of the goods, and 
while we exercise the greatest care to have all seeds, bulbs, plants, etc., true to name, we can give no warranty, express or 
implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of seeds, bulbs, and plants, and will not be 
held responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms and conditions, they must be 
returned at once and the money that has been paid for same will be refunded.

Purchasers should order early to ensure a prompt, seasonable shipment of their goods. Do not wait until 
spring; send your order in now for future shipment. Write all orders separately from general letters or

Fill in the order sheet and mail the same to Carters Tested Seeds, Inc., at Boston, for American orders, 
and to Toronto for Canadian orders, and if this is done the best tested seed in the world can be obtained 
at no more trouble or expense than if local seeds were bought.

CUSTOMERS satisfactory references, those pertaining to Boston or Toronto preferred, thus saving time.

NOTICE TO All letters are opened under directions of one of our principals, and the orders are given out under personal 
PURCHASERS supervision. Bulb and plant orders are sometimes delayed by severe or hot weather and at all times 
take longer to execute than seed orders in consequence of the care in lifting and packing. Customers 
should always retain a true copy of the order sent to us. 
1 1 is our earnest desire that all the requirements and directions of customers be scrupulously attended to by 
our assistants, and we practise the utmost personal supervision to see that they are carried am. We would 
therefore respectfully request that we be informed if at any time there is cause for dissatisfaction, that we 
may have it rectified at the earliest possible moment.
