NO CHARGE is made for packing, except 
for 2-bushel seamless sacks at 45¢ each. 
NON-WARRANTY.—Seeds of the best 
quality will often fail through improper treat- 
ment. ‘This may be due to one or more of 
several reasons, such as covering too deeply 
or not deeply enough, too much or too little 
water, too cold weather or a baking sun which 
forms a crust too hard for the tender shoots 
to penetrate. Sometimes insects destroy plants 
at the surface before they are seen by the 
gardener. We cannot personally direct the 
use of our goods after they leave our hands; 
neither can we fully control anywhere or at 
any time the operation of natural law as it 
affects seeds. We give no warranty, express 
or implied, as to the productiveness of any 
seeds or bulbs we sell and we will not be in 
any way responsible for the crop. Our lia- 
bility, in all instances, is limited to the pur- 
chase price of the seeds or bulbs,
