Seedsof Choice Heriiaceous and Alpine Plants 



We desire to extend our already larre bustnets with 

 our Colonies and the United States, America, in the 

 above class of seeds, our great specialty. We know 

 that our seeds have been the means of enabling 

 many lovers of old-fashioned hardv perennials and 

 Alpine plants to obtain a good collection at a very 

 small cost, whereas the expense of getting plants from 

 England is prohibitory in most cases. Catalog, which 

 contains descriptions of nearly 3000 kinds of flower 

 seeds of all classes, indudiog latest novelties, and 

 also much educational matter, will be sent free on 

 application. Established over 50 years.

 latter class the pickling sorts are more 

 scarce than the long varieties. 



The outlook all along the line is good 

 and reports generally indicate that the 

 trade generally is looking for 1909 to be 

 the best year in the history of the seed 

 business.
