Terms of Sale 
W HEN we began the seed business more than sixty years ago, we realized, as few seedsmen did then, that the 
foundation of all successful crops depended largely on good seed. We determined that we would sell only 
the “BEST,” and began breeding selected strains, urging upon all farmers and market gardeners that there 
was no economy in buying seed of unknown purity and germination. Since then others have come to see our view¬ 
point, and at the present time every State, through its Agricultural Department, is advising farmers to BUY ONLY 
THE BEST SEEDS. Today our “THOROBRED SEEDS” are known world-wide, and thousands of the most suc¬ 
cessful farmers, home and market gardeners pronounce them “THE BEST BY EVERY TEST.” 
WE DELIVER FREE BY MAIL, EXPRESS OR FREIGHT— 
Our Option—All vegetable and flower seed orders when 
cash is sent at prices in this catalogue, except where noted. 
WE GUARANTEE THE SAFE ARRIVAL of every package 
of seed we send by mail or express, but seeds shipped by 
ordinary freight, after taking receipt for them in good 
order from railroad or steamboat lines, travel at the 
purchaser’s risk. If a package fails to arrive within a 
reasonable time, we should be advised. 
WE MAKE PROMPT SHIPMENTS—Our business is so well 
systematized that we can usually make shipment the same 
day the order is received. 
WE CHEERFULLY MAKE CORRECTIONS whenever notified 
of mistakes. It is our desire to be informed of anything 
which is in the least degree unsatisfactory to our cus¬ 
tomers. Never return seeds before communicating with us. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY—Remittance should be made by 
Check, Draft or Money Order. If you live on a Rural Mail 
Route, just give the letter and the money to the mail- 
carrier and he will get the money order at the postofiice 
and mail it in the letter for you. Stamps can be readily 
utilized by us (send two or three cent stamps), and will 
be accepted in payment of small orders at sender’s risk. 
C. O. D. SHIPMENTS only made when the purchaser sends 
sufficient money to pay postage, expressage or freight, 
as a guarantee of good faith. 
PACKING CHARGES—The only packing charge is for bags, 
and these are charged at cost, or less than cost, and are 
not returnable. 
NON-WARRANTY—Geo. Tait & Sons, Inc., gives no war¬ 
ranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, pro¬ 
ductiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or 
plants it sells, and will not be responsible for the crop.
