1950 GARDEN BOOK 
REETINGS! Another year has rolled around again and it is our 
G great privilege to present to you our 1950 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 pos- 
sible to obtain, and we have tried to include as much information as possi- 
ble 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 ordering our goods but will find it a valuable refer- 
ence work. -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 in- 
ferior seed is knowingly 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.”
