TERMS OF SALES 
Tait’s Seeds are Thorobred and Tested, and we know they will grow before they are sent out. Even then, they may 
occasionally not come up, due to causes over which we have no control, such as too deep covering or not deep enough; 
too little or too much moisture; unfavorable weather or heavy rains that might cause a crust to form through which 
the young sprouts cannot penetrate. Therefore, Geo. Tait & Sons, Inc., give no warranty, express or 
implied as to 
the results of any seeds, bulbs or plants it sells, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. Its lability in 
all instances is limited to the purchase price of the seeds, bulbs or plants. 

WE DELIVER FREE BY MAIL, EXPRESS OB FREIGHT, 
our option, all vegetable and flower seed orders when cash is 
sent at prices in this catalog, except where noted. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY. Remittance should be made by 
Check, Draft or Money Order. If you live on a Rural Mail 
Route, just give the letter and the money to the mail carrier 
and he will get the money order at the postoffice and mail it 
in the letter for you. Stamps can be readily utilized by us 
(send one-, two- or three-cent stamps only), and will be 
accepted in payment of small orders at sender’s risk. 
IF WE ARE OUT OF THE VARIETY YOU ORDER 
MAY WE SUBSTITUTE ONE OF EQUAL QUALITY? 
WE GUARANTEE THE SAFE ARRIVAL of every package 
of seed we send by mai] or express, but seeds shipped by 
ordinary freight, after taking receipt for them in good order 
from railroad or steamboat lines, travel at the purchaser's 
risk. If a package fails to arrive within a reasonable time, 
we should be advised. 
PACKING CHARGES. The only packing charge is for bags, 
and these are charged at cost, or less than cost, and are not 
returnable. 
All Prices Subject to Change Without Notice
