DA M C Y~^"P*'^ Giant Mixed— We have for years sent out a special 

 ^— — ^^^— — mixture of Pansy seed, under above '"^'^ " 



name, and have had some flattering reports from it. 

 You cannot buy a better mixture at any price.

If you want named varieties and separate colors, we can supply 

 you from best strain of Cassier. Odier, BusnotandOiantTrimardeau

post to their particular post-office, but 

 we have had not more than one request 

 a week of this character. 



"Whether or not our method is a 

 wise rule for all seed houses we are 

 not prepared to say, but we know that 

 in nine cases out of ten, at the least, 

 the average seed-buying customer will 

 not and can not co'rrectly figure out 

 postage rates, in most cases under- 

 estimating, which would either require 

 the seedsman to write to him asking 

 for additional postage or else let the 

 seedsman lose, neither of which is de- 

 sirable from the seedsman's stand- 

 point. 



"Two of the greatest stumbling 

 blocks in this matter are that the 

 average see<l-buying customer tloes not 

 know the particular zone in which he 

 lives in regard to Atlanta, Philadel- 

 phia or Chicago as the initial point, 

 and can not get such information with- 

 out application to his post-office; and 

 the second is that he will only figure 

 on the net weight of what he is buy- 

 ing, instead of on the gross weight, 

 which will exist after the package is 

 wrapped rea<ly for mailing. As an 

 illustration of this we would say that, 

 where the customer wishes to buy a 

 pound of cucumber seed to be mailed 

 to a point in the fourth zone, he will 

 take the net price of the single pound 

 of cucumber seed and add the amount 

 of postage on one pound from his see<ls- 

 man 's city to his post-office. As a 

 matter of fact the wrappings on that 

 pound of cucumber seed when ready 

 for mailing make an additional weight 

 of from fifteen to twenty per cent and, 

 iastead of being a single pound, it 



mediately becomes liable when ready 

 mailing to the two-pound postage 

 rate. Not one out of ten of the seed- 

 buying customers will think of this 

 and we doubt whether any catalogue 

 maker could make this so plain that they 

 would thoroughly understand it. 



"We will admit that our system 

 makes a matter of injustice of a few 

 cents to the seed-buyer in the nearer 

 zones, but we do not believe that this 

 is nearly as much to him as would be 

 all the time and trouble he would be 

 put to in attempting to figure out just 

 the proper postage on his seed order 

 from the seedsman 's warehouse to his 

 ]>articular post-office. 



' ' We believe that in mail-order seed
