How ive Test Seeds.— No matter how experienced and successful a cultivator may be, good crops cannot be obtained unless the best of seed is planted. Fully realizing this fact, we exercise the greatest care that all our stocks shall be fresh, true to name, of strong vitality, and of choicest quality. Our facilities for ascertaining if the seeds which we offer possess these necessary quali- ties are probably unexcelled, if, indeed, they are equalled, by any other house in this country. During the past season we have fitted up in our establishment on North Market Street a testing-room, in which we are able to make a practical earth test of every parcel of seed that is received into our establishment. A cer- tain number of seeds of each are planted, and if they do not show a high percentage of growth, the stock from which the sample is taken is at once con- demned, returned to the grower, or destroyed. We do not, however, confine our trials to ascertaining the percentage of growth, but have extensive trial gardens in which we test for trueness of type. By this latter test we know the worth of every variety, and which are the superior strains of the different sorts, thus enabling us to select the very best for distribution. Warranty of Seeds.— While, as it will be seen by the preceding remarks, no efforts are spared on our part to send out seeds that are unsur- passed in quality, we wish it distinctly understood that we limit our responsibility to the value paid for the seeds The success or failure of a crop is more depen- dent on climatic or local influences than is generally supposed. We wish it there- fore understood, that we neither warrant description, growth, or productiveness, i of any seeds we sell, and do not hold ourselves in any way accountable for the ; crop, Oii
