WARRANTY and LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY 
GEO. TAIT & SONS, INC., warrants to the extent of the 
purchase price that the seeds, bulbs and plants sold are as de- 
scribed on the container within recognized tolerances. The seller 
gives no further warranty, express or implied, since the seller 
has no control over the time of planting, method of planting, 
weather conditions, cultivation, fertilization or pollination, which 
are all important factors in the production of a crop, and we limit 
our liability in all cases to the purchase price of the seed. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY. Remittance should be made by 
Check, Draft or Money Order. If you live on a Rural Mail 
Route, just give the letter and the money to the mail carrier and 
he will get the money order at the postoffice and mail it in the 
letter for you. Stamps can readily be utilized by us (send one, 
two or three-cent stamps only), and will be accepted in pay- 
ment of small orders at sender’s risk.
