READ THESE FEW WORDS ABOUT RELIABLE SEEDS 
From good seeds only can good crops be grown 
Yet a great many contingencies may arise to prevent the 
best seeds from giving satisfaction, and for all these reasons 
we cannot, of course, guarantee or be responsible for a crop, 
as success is dependent upon natural causes, which are 
beyond human control. Therefore, we do not warrant in 
any way, express or implied, the contents, or the description, 
quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, 
bulbs, or plants sold by us, and we will not be in any way 
responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept 
these goods on above terms, no sale is made thereof, and he 
must return them at once, and money will be refunded. Sub¬ 
ject to above conditions we make this sale, at the moderate 
prices at which we sell our goods. 
FAIR PLAY GUARANTEE

tries owing to Custom House delays. We always recommend 
having plants shipped by express when there is an express 
office near. We guarantee the safe arrival of all plants and
