TERMS OF SALE 
Prices quoted include packing and transporta¬ 
tion except where the value is less than $2.—per 
pound shipping weight, in which case goods will 
be shipped by express or freight at purchaser’s 
expense. 
Mixed shipments consisting of packets or 
ounces or fractional ounces are always sent pre¬ 
paid. Our responsibility ceases with the signing 
of the shipping receipt and all claims for damage 
or loss must be addressed to the post office or 
the transportation company. Our success depends 
upon the good will of our customers and we spare 
no effort or expense to supply only the very best, 
but inasmuch as results with seeds depend 
upon a great many conditions beyond our con¬ 
trol, we, in conformity with the custom of the 
American Seed Trade, cannot give any warranty, 
expressed or implied, as to quality, productivity, 
trueness to name or any other matter relating 
to seeds, plants or bulbs. All prices subject to 
change without notice, and all offers are made 
subject to strikes, crop failures or other condi¬ 
tions beyond our control. 
SPECIAL NOTICE: Unless otherwise stated, 
prices quoted are price per packet.

inations not accepted.
