Q. C. WATSON. 



YOU can have my list of "Bulbs for Spring 

 Planting" for the asking; also condensed 

 lis* of ''Seeds for the Garden and Farm." I 

 sell a first-class Lawn Grass at JS2.10 per bushel 

 of 14 lbs. Is it good ? Try it. Never mind what 

 my competitors say. It has stood the test of 

 time — the only true test. These be hard times. 

 In the general" Readjustment of Values I mean to 

 be in the thick of the scrimmage.
