NON-WARRANTY.—Most of the failures with seeds, 
dants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our 
ontrol, such as unfavorable weather and soil condi¬ 
tions ; too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which 
renders it impossible for us to guarantee success, and 
although we take all possible pains to supply only such 
goods as will, under proper conditions, produce satis¬ 
factory results, we still give no warranty as to descrip¬ 
tion, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, 
plants or bulbs that we send out, and will not be in any 
way responsible for the crop, and every order for arti¬ 
cles 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 de- 
I do not claim to carry a full line of seeds, but there 
are a great many kinds that I can handle to advant¬ 
age, and in every case I shall offer these as low as 
is consistent with best quality and new stock. I will 
duplicate the prices of any reliable concern. scription. 
BEETS. 
BASTIAN’S BLOOD TTJRNIP. —This is early, 
large size, tine form, bright red color, and highly re¬ 
commended for home use or market. We consider 
it one of the best. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 10c. ; 1-4 lb. 20c.; 
lb. 50c. 
EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN — The Egyptian 
beet is one of the most popular varieties among 
market gardeners for forcing. Justly or unjustly it 
is considered to be the earliest of all. It certainly 
w'ill bear close planting in the valuable space under 
the glass or in a warm garden in the spring. It is 
turnip shape, and when young is tender and crisp. In 
color it is dark red. I offer a superior strain of this 
variety to gardeners who have a preference for the 
Egyptian. Pkt 5c.; oz. 10c. ; 1-4 lb. 20c. ; lb. 50c. 
EDMUND’S EARLY TURNIP — A standard 
variety of well established merit, long and favorably 
known throughout the Eastern part of the United 
States. This variety is well adapted to forcing, to 
the home garden and to market. Round shape and 
deep blood red color. It is an early variety with small 
tops and excellent in every way. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 10c.; 
1-4 lb. 20c.; lb. 50c. 
DETROIT DARK RED OR BLOOD TUR¬ 
NIP. — A splendid beet of deep red color, for home use 
or for market One of the best for canning on ac¬ 
count of its beautiful color, small upright tops and 
perfectly smooth roots; tender and sweet. Pkt. 5c.; 
oz. 10c. : 1-4 lb. 20c.; lb. 50c.
