the American Association of Nurserymen, have consistantly sup- 
ported the American Association of Nurserymen's policy and 
Wards policy of selling by an exact grading system. 
For your further protection and guidance the varieties listed in this 
book indicate relative hardiness according to zone. Where special 
soil or location is a factor necessary to success, this information is 
given. On fruiting plants pollination requirements are indicated. 
Since Nursery Stock is a living thing, no one can truly guarantee 
that a particular plant will live under any treatment. HOWEVER, 
WARDS DO HAVE A LIBERAL REPLACEMENT POLICY. This policy 
is completely outlined in the Warranty on opposite page. Read
