HALL SEED 
COMPANY 
INCORPORATED 
January 1, 1954 
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 
ERRORS—We exercise the utmost care in filling 
orders, striving to do a little more than we offer; yet 
in the press of business, errors sometimes occur, in 
which event we wish to be promptly notified of the 
fact, and will make such corrections as will be satis- 
factory. Please keep copies of all your orders for 
comparison. 
ABOUT WARRANTY 
The HALL SEED COMPANY gives no warranty, ex- 
press 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. 
Crops are dependent for success or failure on so many 
things besides seeds that it is impossible for us to 
give any crop warranty or guarantee. This does not 
mean that we lack confidence in the seeds we sell, but 
we have no control over’the seeds after they leave our 
house, especially so as to the methods of planting, 
cultivating and fertilizing, all of which are important 
factors in the success of any crop. If we should war- 
rant or guarantee seeds in any way, we could be held 
responsible for the failure of the crop, regardless of 
cause, and this is a responsibility we cannot accept. 
No responsible seedsman gives any such warranty. 
THE VARIETIES OF GARDEN SEED offered in this 
eatalog are the BEST for this latitude. They have 
been tried out and have proven to be the best. We 
have tried to confine our stock of seeds to those varie- 
ties that really have merit and are best suited to our 
local market. If you are in doubt about which varie- 
ties to plant, we sincerely hope this catalog will help 
you to decide. We will cheerfully give you any 
further information that we can, 
ORDER YOUR SEEDS AT ONCE—Read this catalog 
through carefully and make up your order while you 
have plenty of time. Planting time will soon slip 
around and you want to be ready with the seeds on 
hand. SEND US YOUR ORDERS WHILE OUR 
STOCKS ARE COMPLETE. 
OUR PRICES are 
previous sales.

All other items listed in this catalogue unless 
otherwise stated, prices are f. o. b. Louisville, 
Ky., if delivery by parcel post is wanted 
sufficient postage should be added. 
WE DO NOT SEND C. O. D., as the cost of collecting
