Seed Guarantee 
Ka 
Southern States has, and has had since the very beginning of operation, a real seed 
guarantee—a guarantee that really means something and protects the grower. It reads: 
TOL Te TT 
Southern States Field Seeds are guaranteed to the full extent of the purchase 
price to be as represented in variety, origin, purity, germination, and weed con- 
tent. Patrons may return any seed that is not thoroughly satisfactory. After the 
seed is sown the Cooperative Seed and Farm Supply Service will reimburse the 
patron if there is definite evidence that the seed was not of high quality, but 
will in no case be liable for more than the purchase price of the seed. 
Way. 
Compare the Southern States Seed Guarantee with a worthwhile meaning, with the 
well-known non-warranty clause that was once generally used by the seed trade, with 
the exception of Southern States Cooperative. This non-warranty clause reads: 
SS i el ae 
"We give no warranty expressed or implied on any seeds, bulbs, or other sup- 
plies which we distribute. If the customer does not accept the purchase on that 
basis, it should be returned at once.” 
Compare this non-warranty statement with Southern States Seed Guarantee. This non- 
warranty statement means little to growers since it offers no protection. Southern States 
guarantee means much to growers because it offers them so much protection.
