A SOUTHERN SEED-HOUSE. 



UBS is a Seed-House of and for the South only. Our efforts are for the South- 

 ern trade only, and the seed stocks that we carry are adapted to your soil and 

 climate, and our entire aim and purpose is to furnish you with seeds that will 

 give you satisfactory results. 

 We furnish you stocks of seed that are grown for us. not the ordinary cheap-grade 

 stocks that are on the wholesale seed markets. The South has for years been the 

 dumping-ground for old and inferior seeds. These have generally been worked off 

 through country stores and the commission boxes left on sale. Naturally, such seeds 

 do not give you satisfactory results. '1 he sale of such seeds is a damage to every pur- 

 chaser. If you have always used that kind of seed you do not know what real first- 

 class seeds are. 



We can say in perfect good faith that there is no seed firm in the country that can 

 as wel) supply your needs and wants as we can, We are aware that you will find 

 many firms that will sell you seeds at a lower price. You will also find that the quali- 

 ty of the low-priced seeds is so poor that they are really more expensive than ours at 

 a half or third the price. 



OUR AIM AND PURPOSE 



is to make every customer a satisfied customer, so far as prompt, courteous, honest 

 treatment and best quality of seeds can make him so. We have an interest in the seeds 

 we sell beyond the simple matter of dollars and cents that they represent. We are con- 

 stantly striving to get new and better varieties or improving existing ones. It is our 

 life-work, and we seek to leave as a monument when we have passed away an improved 

 condition of Southern agriculture so far as it can be affected by the seed supply. The 

 pride that we take in our life-work is the best guarantee against inferior seeds. 



Our moral responsibility is great. We realize fully that on our knowledge and care 

 depends the success or failure of the crops of thousands of our customers, and with 

 seedsmen worthy of the name this moral responsibility is the strongest possible safe- 

 guard of the planter. Our pride in our reputation among our customers is more to us 

 than dollars, and therein lies the difference between the real seedsman and the dealer 

 in seeds. 



OUR 50-PAGE ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE WILL BE SENT YOU FREE
