GUARANTEE AND DISCLAIMER 
Complaints are frequently made that seeds do not grow and are not good. This very often may be 
attributed to other causes than the quality and vitality of the seed. There are contingencies arising to 
prevent even the best of seeds always giving satisfaction, such as sowing too deep, too shallow, or in too 
wet or too dry soil ; insects and worms of all descriptions destroying the. plants as soon as or before they 
appear; wet weather : cold weather, frosts; chemical changes in the seeds induced by temperature, etc. For 
the above reasons we cannot guarantee seeds under any circumstances. 
We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, purity, productiveness, or any other matter 
of any seeds we send out, and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not 
accept the goods on these terms they are at once to be returned.
