ACORN BRAND GARDEN SEEDS 
Warranting- and How to Order 
ALL PRICES PREPAID 
ABOUT WARRANTING SEEDS—It is not possible to 
guarantee the crop because good seeds constitute only one 
factor in the success of the crop. The selection of soil, 
cultivation, care of growing crop, and weather conditions 
are equally important and over these we have no control, 
therefore we, The Ross Seed Company, do not warrant in 
any way, express or implied, the description, purity, pro¬ 
ductiveness or any other matter of any Seeds, Plants, or 
Bulbs sold by us, and we will not in any way be responsible 
for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods 
on these terms, no sale is made thereof and the goods must 
be returned at once and the money paid will be refunded. 
Subject to the above conditions we make this sale at the 
moderate prices which we quote in this catalog. 
HOW TO ORDER—Write your name, Post-office, State, 
and Railroad office, plainly with black ink on every order. 
Give plain shipping directions. Parcel Post, Express, 
Freight, or Truck. When definite instructions are not 
given, we route to the best of our ability at buyer’s risk. 
PRICES—The prices quoted in this catalog are prepaid, 
in effect when issued and we expect most of them to 
remain at present figures, but some will fluctuate and we 
name prices subject to market changes. Should the price 
decline we will fill order, and remit balance due you. If 
prices advances we will hold your order and write giving 
lowest quotation at that time. 
Foreword 
We come to you with, we believe, a better 
stock of SEEDS, better balanced for this section 
of the U. S., selected to please Home Gardeners, 
Market Gardeners and other particular growers 
of Flowers, Vegetables, and Farm Crops. The 
selection of our stock has been carefully done, 
and the seeds come to us from reliable growers. 
This is our 50th anniversary in the Seed Busi¬ 
ness, in Wichita. When a firm carries on, in one 
community, for half a century it naturally follows 
that the seeds, or other merchandise, sold to their 
customers has been satisfactory.
