To all who have occasion to Purchase Seeds! 



'T is maiiit'est that from Good Seeds only cau good vegetables be obtained, yet we see thoae 

 who exhibit sound sense in most affairs of life, heedlessly purchase seeds of doubtful charac- 

 ter and quality. 

 The superior character of LANDIIETH'S has been substantiated beyond all question. We 

 therefore invite. all who are not already purchasers of Landreth's Seeds to give them a trial. Those 

 remote from Druggists, Grocers and others selling our Seeds, can be supplied by us direct at reasonable prices.
