Vegetable Seeds

Improved Golden Wax

Our stock of vegetable seeds we are sure cannot be excelled either in quality or selection by any firm in the country, as we watch our growing crops with great care, taking pains to isolate and keep pure and true to name. Every variety listed is desirable and has our recommendation. The packets are, we believe, as well filled as any reliable seed dealers in the United States, and in fact a comparison has shown that they contain more seed on the average than those of any other firm whose packets we have secured. We pay the postage at these prices except on Beans, Peas and Corn at the peck or bushel rates.

Notice.--We thoroughly test all our seeds and nothing is sent out which we do not believe to be good in every respect, but we want it plainly understood that while we exercise great care to have all seeds pure and reliable, and also true to name, we do not give any warranty, express or implied. If the purchaser does not accept the seeds on these terms and conditions, they are to be returned at once and the money that has been paid for same will be refunded. No officer, agent or employee of this company is authorized to make any warranty whatsoever. However, we have so much confidence in our seeds that we hereby agree to refill any retail order for vegetable or flower seeds free of charge should they prove otherwise than as we represent them. We know of no responsible seed firm in the world which guarantees seeds any further than this.
