TERMS OF SALES 
Tait’s Seeds are 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. Geo. Tait & Sons, Inc., 
warrants to the extent of the purchase price that the seeds, bulbs or plants sold are as described on the container within recognized 
tolerances. Seller gives no further warranty, express or implied. 
WE DELIVER FREE BY MAIL, EXPRESS OR 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 mail or express, but seeds shipped by ordinary 
freight, after taking receipt for them in good order from rail- 
road 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
