1948 GARDEN BOOK 
REETINGS! Another year has rolled around and again it is our great privilege to 
present to you our 1948 Garden Book. Here we have listed and described what we 
believe to be the best Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, Horticultural, Poultry and Pet Supplies 
which it is possible to obtain, and we have tried to include in our book as much informa- 
tion as possible to aid you in using our materials. We have spent many years in getting 
together all of this information, and we hope that you will not only use this book in order- 
ing our goods but will find it a valuable reference work to which you will often refer. Please 
remember that our motto is ‘‘Punctuality, Sterling Quality, Courteous Treatment,’’ and 
we intend to live up to it. 
Our seeds are tested by approved and modern methods, and no inferior seed is know- 
ingly sent to our customers. In spite of this, failures will occur, usually from some cause 
beyond our control, and while we will do everything in our power to assist our customers , 
we must advise that our seeds are sold under the following usual non-warranty: ‘‘The 
Meyer Seed Company gives no warranty, express or implied, as to the productiveness 
of any seeds or bulbs it sells 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.”’
