Wood’s Seeds Are Tested 
And we know that they will grow be- 
fore they are sent out. Even then they 
occasionally do not come up, due to 
causes over which we have no control, 
such as covering too deeply or not 
deeply enough; too little or too much 
moisture, cold weather, insects, ora 
crust through which the sprouts can- 
not penetrate, etc.; therefore, T. W. 
Wood & Sons give no warranty, ex- 
press or implied, as to the description 
(name and kind), productiveness or 
any other matter of any seeds, bulbs 
or plants we sell, and will not be in 
any way responsible for the crop. Our 
liability in all instances is limited to 
the purchase price of the seed.
