GUARANTEE—Safe arrival in growable condition is guar- 
anteed on seeds through the year, and on plants and bulbs 
shipped in April, May and June, and in September, October 
and November. During the remaining months plants and bulbs 
are guaranteed as to arrival only, and not against freezing 
or heating. We make full replacements on all goods lost while 
under our guarantee, but please report promptly on losses. 
We try to send out only good seeds, bulbs and plants, but 
since we have no control over the purchaser’s knowledge and 
skill, nor over climate or the weather of the particular season, 
we cannot be responsible for results dependent on such factors.

PLANT ORDERS are filled in rotation according to date of 
receipt, but orders come in year-around, while we can only 
ship at certain seasons. There is always an accumulation when 
shipping season opens. We fill as fast as we can, but we can’t 
fill all at once. Please have patience. Most of our hardy plants 
are field-grown, and in some years it is middle of April before 
we can dig. Perennial plants can safely be shipped from then 
until about middle of June. Note our replacement guarantee 
above, covering arrival of plants in good, growable condition.
