SALES TAX 
We wish to call attention of all our customers to the State Sales Tax Law 
which makes it mandatory on the retailer to collect a tax of 2% on retail sales. 
This means that 2 cents tax for each $1.00, 1 cent for each 50c and one token for 
each 10c purchase. 
State Sales Tax applies to the following: 
All seed, vegetable or flowers for home use. All plants, shrubs, fruit trees, rose 
bushes, bulbs, etc., for home use. All fertilizers, insecticides, or any other mer¬ 
chandise for home use. All Lawn Grass is taxable. 
The following items are exempt from State Sales Tax: 
Flower seed or bulbs for raising flowers to sell; 
Vegetable seed used to produce vegetables to sell; 
Plants purchased to produce vegetables, fruit, or flowers for sale; 
Field seed used to produce pasture, hay, grain, or other crops to sell or fed to 
animals to produce eggs, butter, milk, or meat for sale; 
Fertilizers entering into the growing of any of the crops listed above or for any 
crop of hay, grain, fruit, or seed w r hich is produced for sale to others. 
Non-Warranty 
Most of the failure with seeds, plants, and bulbs are due to causes directly 
beyond our control, such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, insect pests, 
faulty planting, etc., which makes it impossible for us to guarantee success, and 
although we take every care to sell only such goods as will, under proper condi¬ 
tions produce satisfactory results, we give no warranty as to description, quality, 
or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants, bulbs we send out, and will not 
be in any way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in this 
catalog will be filled on these conditions only. It must be plain to every thinking 
person that it is to our best interests to send out only such stock as will give 
satisfaction in every way.

POSTAGE In 6th, 7th and 8th ZONES: Owing to the fact that the postage on seed in 3
