FOR GARDEN AND FARM. 



Stj>rlng; IVumiber, lOOl. 



S HERETOFORE our Guide contains this year a very complete list of 

 all the good things for the Garden and Farm, all of which have been 

 tried and found entirely reliable, each and every article being a valuable 

 acquisition in its own way. All old varieties that have bean superseded 

 by newer and improved sorts have been discarded, and only those of 

 genuine merit retained. Not only does this Guide give a list of the 

 BEST SEEDS GROWN, but it also furnishes directions for the success- 

 ful cultivation of almost all crops, which may be followed with confidence A few 

 changes in the time of sowing and planting, necessitated by peculiar climatic con- 

 ditions, being left, of course, to the good judgment of the cultivator In the case 

 of flower seeds, partly to economize space, but particularly to make it more con- 

 venient for the gardener, we give instructions on each seed packet. 



TESTED SEEDS. -Our seeds are all tested, a precautionary measure of great 

 value to our customers and to ourselves, and none are allowed toleave our ef tab
