Important Notice 
All shipments of plants, perishable stock, and cold-storage 
bulbs are made at buyer’s risk only. 
If such shipments arrive in bad condition, accept them and 
receipt for them accordingly, and make claim for your loss on 
the transportation company. We, of course, will hold ourselves 
ready to assist you in any possible way. It has been found that 
claims can be collected more readily by the person receiving the 
goods than by the shipper. 
Our custom to guarantee the actual arrival of goods (except 
at points where there is no Freight or Express agent) will still be 
continued, and claims for loss or non-arrival of merchandise not 
perishable will, as in the past, be cared for by us, so you run no 
risk of having to make claims for lost goods. 
Henry F. Michell Co. give no warranty, expressed or implied, 
as to the description, purity or productiveness of any seeds, 
plants or bulbs they send cut, and they cannot be in any way 
responsible for the crop. If the customer does not accept the 
goods on these terms, he must notify us at once, and we will 
give instructions for dispesition of goods.
