competition with Seedsmen from all over the United States, 
were awarded Gold Medal, but to us alone was the higi honor of GRAND PRIZE 
GIVEN. 
This Great Distinction was won in 
several of whom 
In addition we were awarded Ten Gold Medals. 
That we grow and sell the Best Things for the Garden and 
Farm is fully demonstrated every year by the many flattering 
testimonials we receive, and the rapidly increasing demand 
for them. 
Our constant aim is to furnish Seeds, Bulbs and Plants of 
Strictly First-Class Quality at the Lowest Possible Price. Not 
only does this Annual give a list of the Best Seeds Grown, but 
it also furnishes directions for the successful cultivation of 
the same, which may be safely relied upon.- A few changes in 
the time of sowing and planting, necessitated by peculiar 
eclimatie eonditions, being left, of course, to the good judgment 
of the cultivator. In the case of flower seeds, partly to econ- 
omize space, but particularly to make it more convenient for . 
the gardener, we give instruetions on each seed packet. See 
hints on page 52. 
WARRANTED AND TESTED. SEEDS.—Our Seeds are all 
tested, a precautionary measure of great value to our custom- 
ers and to ourselves, and none are allowed to leave our estab- 
lishment until we are satisfied that they are absolutely of the 
best quality, possess the greatest possible vitality and are cer- 
tain to grow under favorable conditions. That under favor- 
able conditions they do grow and give entire satisfaction, is 
fully testified to by the many flattering testimonials we annu- 
ally receive from our customers. 
We warrant our seeds to possess strong vitality, but owing 
to the many conditions under which failures may occur we 
eannot and do not guarantee crops. 
FARM SEEDS.—We make a specialty of the handling of 
lean and reliable seeds... On our pages 37 to 51 will be found 
a complete list of Cereals,.Grasses, Clovers, and other forage 
plants of great value to the farmer. 
WE GUARANTEE THE SAFE ARRIVAL OF SEEDS.—In 
the event of the arrival of packages in bad condition, notice 
should be sent us at once and we will cheerfully replace the 
same free of charge. When customers do not receive their 
goods in a reasonable time, they should inform us and at the 
same time send a copy of. their order, so we can trace the 
order.

Stamps for small amounts, same as cash. 
WHEN TO ORDER SEEDS—Order early, is our invariable 
advice to customers. We plan to have our catalogue reach 
them at what we believe to be a proper time to give seed 
orders consideration. To avoid a rush and perhaps delays in 
the very busy months of spring near seed-time, it is a great 
convenience to ourselves, and very often an advantage to pur- 
chasers, if orders are sent to us early; if the goods are not 
wanted immediately, we will get them ready and ship at any .- 
date desired. 
N. B.—We fill all orders in the rotation in which they are 
received. 
HOW TO ORDER SEEDS, ETC. 
oblige us by writing out their orders on the sheets we enclose 
for that purpose with each catalogue, it greatly facilitates our 
work. It is most important that the full name and address be 
Ziven, and plainly written. Often we receive orders with nei- 
ther name nor address attached, and delays which. we are 
powerless to avoid occur in consequence. Wull shipping direc- 
tions should be given wus, stating distinctly whether large 
quantities are to be sent by express or freight, otherwise we 
must use our own judgment regarding the best route. Give 
name of Express Company or Railroad running to your place, 
or Stage Route. 
A WORD TO CORRESPONDENTS—A great many letters are 
received by us through the year asking for information on 
horticultural subjects, all of which we are most happy to 
answer, the subject in question, if it so demands, being most 
earefully considered by us, and our reply given to the best of 
our ability. To faeilitate this: work and avoid confusion and 
errors we will be greatly obliged if our correspondents will 
kindly: write such letters cn a sheet of paper separate from 
that. containing an order. 
Special Offer to Gash Buyers. 
As an inducement to purchasers of our seeds in packets and 
ounces only, we make this most liberal offer, but we wish it 
thoroughly understood that it applies to orders for seed in
