Our customers are world-wide and live in all climates, so we cannot always
advise on the suitability of particular species. The
sub-lists
and
USDA climate zone
a species is allocated to will be a guide, but unless you have knowledge of
the plant in question we strongly advise checking in horticultural reference
books dealing with your temperature range and conditions.

Seed Viability
-
To provide seed in the best possible condition, we arrange for collection in
the country of origin at peak maturity, the date of which will vary from year
to year. Seed is airmailed to us, and reaches you with the best germination
potential - important with short-viability exotics. Thus we need to take
advance orders, and seeds will be forwarded to you as soon as we receive them.
Certain seeds, mainly of longer viability, are available from stock.
-
Prices
-
Prices are updated in the lists as quickly as possible, but we have so many
sources with varying exchange rates and mailing charges that we must reserve
the right to invoice prices ruling at the date of despatch.

Seed Packet Quantities
-
The 'Packet' content quantity varies with species and over time, depending on
cost and rarity, and most often we cannot predict, until supply is received,
how many seeds a packet will contain.
-
Alternatives (substitutions)
-
We expect to be able to supply all the species listed, but weather,
communication, conflict and other problems affecting particularly less
developed countries often on the other side of the world can delay or prevent
supply. It is thus advisable to list some alternative choices as indicated on
the Order Form. This is most necessary with orchids (seeds and plants) and
bromeliads.

B & T World Seeds' Stock List
Information in our lists is provided for general guidance only, and we believe
that the seeds are correctly named and free from disease etc. We depend upon
knowledgeable collectors in source countries, but seeds, being mainly from
natural sources, variation due to 'open pollination' is possible. Following
custom in the trade, we give no warranty, express or implied, as to the
viability or description of the seed, nor can we be responsible for the
resulting plant crop or its possible misuse. Should you have any complaint
please let us know.

Endangered Species

Many endangered species are under
international protection,
and this extends to control of seeds in a very few instances. We deal only
with authorised sources for such material, and we will advise you should any
extra price be incurred for certification of seeds or plants. Species covered
under legislation will be marked 'CIT' in the lists.
