Facts AsouT Warps Flower Seeps: All Wards Flower Seeds are 
100% fresh crop seeds. This is your assurance of more flowers per 
packet because of higher germination. The seeds you get from 
Wards are the best strains, most improved varieties that are avail- 
able, to give you the greatest gardening pleasure. Results of various 
impartial tests continue to indicate the superior quality of these seeds 
as compared to other garden seed sold on the American market. 
Waarps SEED WaRRANTY—AIl Wards Seeds are tested for purity and 
high germination as marked on each packet. We will replace with- 
out cost, any seed that does not grow when planted according to the 
instructions on each packet. Vigorous growth depends upon proper 
planting, soil, climatic conditions, and other factors over which we 
have no control. Therefore we cannot be responsible for the crop, nor 
for any amount greater than the purchase price of the seed.
