All seeds listed below are gathered from plants grown in our gardens at Maplewood, 
Oregon, and are from the same stock of which we sow and propagate. 
Naturally, we exercise 
the utmost care in gathering them. But we give no warranty as to description, quality or 
productiveness of any of the seeds we send out, and every order for seeds will be executed on 
these conditions only. Unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow plant- 
ings, etc., causes entirely beyond our control, are reasons for most of the failures with seeds.
