TRUENESS OF NAME—Much time is spent check- 
ing labels, when plants are in bloom, to make certain 
that none are wrongly labeled, and every effort is made 
to keep youngsters in their places, from propagation 
beds to field; but we raise thousands of plants in 
hundreds of varieties, and we could make mistakes. 
Should any prove untrue to name, please let us know, 
and we will do our best to correct the error.

plant that is well rooted, free of disease, and one that

good as the finest.

something special. in shape or.size,.a visit.to.the nursery

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GUARANTEE THE LIFE 
of any plant. No one has that control. We have no way 
of knowing the treatment they will receive after they 
leave us. Some plants are perfectly hardy here in our 
nurseries, but that might not prove true where the 
Winter or soil is different. Read carefully our cultural 
directions in annual catalog. We make severe tests and 
give little or no Winter protection to prove hardiness, 
especially among the newer introductions. Drought 
often causes death to plants, and we cannot guarantee 
against that.
