TO OUR eUSTOMERS. 
T IIE perfect arrangement of the several departments of our large Seed business, in charge of men 
specially prepared in this country and Europe, by years of experience in the different branches of the>* 
business; the whole under the personal supervision of a Director of the Corporation, who has taken 
advantage for over twenty-five years of the excellent opportunities for experience afforded at home and 
abroad to fit him for the work, combined with our knowledge of the best sources of supply, localities for 
production, the acreage we control and the large purchases we make for cash, enable us, by reason of the . 
greater value of our trade compared with others, to offer seeds that are not surpassed, if indeed equalled I 
in quality and purity, by any. The fact that we have a larger patronage among the leading private and 
market gardeners and florists throughout the country than other New England seedsmen is emphatic 
proof of our experience, integrity and ability to serve planters satisfactorily. To this end we note on 
every lot of seed sold, the percentage of vitality and offer the same subject to the test and analysis of the 
botanist of any of the State experiment stations, and to properly authenticated complaint being made to 
us within twenty days from time of purchase of seeds complained of. If the result of the analysis does 
not confirm the percentage named, we will take back the seeds, and refund the money paid for them, and 
pay the cost of transportation both ways. Seeds once sown, or the above specified time for complaint 
having expired, our responsibility ceases, because failures more often occur through a lack of knowledge 
of the conditions required to produce germination and a good crop than from inherent defects in the seeds. 
Proper conditions for germination are, correct tempeiature and moisture, and a free access of air; besides, 
the soil must be of the right kind, properly prepared, and present no physical obstacles to the germination 
of the seed, such as a baked surface or too compact soil through heavy rains. Cold and hot winds*, insects 
below and above the ground are frequent causes of failure. I11 addition to all this there is an ever constant 
change of form and type in nature, so that highly selected sorts frequently revert back to originals. This 
accounts for short pods and long vines among peas that should be long podded and dwarf, green pods 
on wax beans, green plants appearing among white and yellow .sorts of celery, etc., etc. Therefore please 
NOTICE.—While we exercise the greatest care to have all Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, and Nursery Stock of the best kind, we 
do not give, and our agen s and employees are forbidden to give, any warranty, express or implieJ If you do not 
accept the goods on these terms, you must return them at once, and all payments therefor will be refunded.
