STATEMENT OF POLICY: All seeds are offered cleaned unless marked otherwise, as d.b. for
dried berries, d.h. dried hips, d.p. for dried pomes, and d.w. for dewinged. Seeds are sold without
warranty, expressed or implied, as to description and productiveness. Goods should be inspected
upon arrival and claims for condition made at once. We cannot consider claims after seeds have
been stored or planted. While it is true that plants grown from seed of horticultural varieties often
yield superior plant material in comparison to those grown from nondescript seed, we wish to
emphasize that seeds of such varieties or hybrids, with few exceptions, cannot be expected to come
true to name. They are offered here for the convenience of competent plantsmen, for research and
breeding work only. We are not responsible for loss in viability due to fumigation. Seed is not
stratified. Lots are carefully inspected on arrival and tests made so far as possible. All bulk lots are
kept in refrigerated storage. Please note that items marked ** have been collected from our own
plants. Nomenclature of this listing is as of second edition of “Standardized Plant Names.”
