And this, don’t be fooled by blooms you see at the shows. 
Most of them have been raised from plants and not tubers. 
We invite no fuss with the question as plants will make tubers 
if properly cut. How many cuttings are properly taken off 
in propagation? Are “you telling us”? In our minds, the 
question is still as “deep as a well and as broad as a church 
door”. Our experience with plants runs about as vicious as 
a hornet or “yaller-jacket” for “stings”.

GIVE US A BREAK 
We ship roots with eye or sprout showing (always). Now 
then, we know you dislike to write about July 1st, that your 
tuber was a fizzle. Sprout could have been damaged in 
transit, broken off in planting, dried out before planting, 
dried out after planting, drowned out. Your ground may 
be acid or infested with ants and so on and so forth. We 
believe it not at all unreasonable to insist your claim for re¬ 
placement be made upon receipt and inspection of roots.
