 rr\0 our pairons .and the trade we tender our most cc^niial thanks 

 J. lor that ample patronage which has enabled us, from a small 

 Vi^inning, to inorease our trade in the pa.st five years until, iu 

 point of cclelirity in tfie Seed bu^ineag, we stand BecoQd to no 

 Uouee in the United States. 



Such has been the inerea.sc dnring that time, that we hare been 

 able to establish a large and prosperous Sued House at Detroit, 

 Mich., from which supplies are sent to customers west of Lake 

 Krie ; while from the parent house at Rochester. Seeds are nup- 

 plied to the trade as far east as Now York City, New Jersey, and 

 Pennsylvania ; also we«t to Ohio, and north to Canada. 



In .\ugii*l of the pa^t year our ptore at Eoehesler wa.s burned ; 

 «ince which time we have purchased the ground on which it .stood, 

 and have now constructed an<l use a building of twice its size, 

 fitted up expressly for the Seed business, and which is said to bo 

 the best arranged store for the purpose in the United States, and 

 equaled by only one ia Europe, which is In France. 



For this measure of prosperity, we are indcbied to the liberal 

 patronage and confidence of an enlightened public, and to tho->e 

 generous friends who have so kindly lent us their aid in times of 

 aee<1. and to all of whom we take this occasion to tender our 

 grateful acknowledgements). 



For Iho year 18.VJ, we offer to the trade as large, new and fresh 

 a. stock of Seeds, and at as low prices, as any house in the country.
