STOCKS 
The stock is one of the many popular plants used for bedding. 
For brilliancy and diversity of color, fragrance and duration 
of bloom it is unsurpassed. Sow the seeds in pans or boxes and 
transplant when large enough, to an open sunny location. 
When transplanting take tne plans as they come and do not 
pick the large ones. Stocks are one of our best winter bloom¬ 
ing plants. May be planted from August to March for a suc¬ 
cession of winter and summer blooms.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY 
It is so manifestly impossible for a seller of any perishable article to 
be responsible for what may happen to it after it leaves his hand, es¬ 
pecially one like seeds, which are planted in the ground under varying 
conditions of soil and climate that we, in common with all American 
seed houses, disclaim responsibility as to the crop which may be raised 
from seeds which we sell. 
Sometimes, though not often, our seeds do not come up after planting. 
This may be due to one or more of several reasons, such as covering too 
<leeply or not deeply enough, too much or too little water, too cold 
weather or a baking sun which forms a crust too hard for the tender 
shoots to penetrate. Sometimes insects destroy plants at the surface 
before they are seen by the gardener. We cannot personally direct the 
use of our goods after they leave our hands; neither can we fully con¬ 
trol anywhere or at any time the operation of natural law as it affects 
seeds; therefore, we give no warranty, express or implied, as to de¬ 
scription, purity, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds or 
bulbs we send out, and we will not be in any way responsible for the 
crop. 
WE 1)0 NOT WARRANT in any way, expressed or implied, the con¬ 
tents or tile description, purity, productiveness or any other matter of 
any seeds, bulbs, plants, shrubs or trees sold by us, and w'e will not 
be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not ac¬ 
cept these goods on above terms, no sale is made thereof, and he must 
return them at once, and money will be refunded. Subject to above con¬ 
ditions, we make this sale at the moderate prices at which we sell our 
goods. 
If the customer does not accept the goods on above terms, be must re¬ 
turn them at once, and money will be refunded or proper credit given. 
We exercise, however, the greatest care to fill our orders with the high¬ 
est quality possible, as it is our constant aim to give our customers 
fullest satisfaction. 
PRICES—Tills list cancels all previous offers. Cash must accompany 
all orders. 
All gods are offered subject to crop failure, shortages or other causes 
beyond our control and to being sold out on receipt of order, and we 
reserve the right to advance prices without notice.
