Facts Asout Warps VEGETABLE SEEDS: All Wards Vegetable Seeds 
are 100% fresh crop seeds. Fresh seeds mean a higher per cent of 
germination and therefore more plants per packet—a larger crop 
for the time and money invested. The varieties offered below are 
only those that have stood up over a long period of years as being 
consistently reliable or new or improved varieties that have been 
tested and we feel are truly worthy of trial in your garden. 
GUARANTEED FRESH, NEWLY PACKAGED, 1954 CROP SEEDS 
Warps SEED WARRANTY —All 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 in- 
structions on each packet. Vigorous growth depends upon proper 2 
planting, soil, climatic conditions, and other factors over which we 
have no control. We cannot be responsible for the crop, nor for any 
amount greater than the purchase price of the seed.
