Please ^ad before Ordering 
ORDER EARLY. This suggestion is made to avoid disappointment in 
case that later in the season a variety may be sold out. We reserve the right 
to accept or refuse an order or any part thereof, depending on quantity of 
stock and whether at shipping time it is in condition to be sent. 
All our varieties are true to name, but, if in shipping an error is made, 
we will be glad to rectify mistakes, either by supplying true stock or cash 
refund, which ever in our judgment seems best.
