AN EXCEPTION. 



A dissatisfied custo^ner is a great eocception with us. Earely indeed do 

 we liear of failures of any kind with our seeds. Our personal attention to orders, and tlie 

 care bestowed in growing and testing our seeds and selecting the purest stocks only, conduce 

 to this liappy result. 



We have received numerous awards for our seeds on account of excellence, purity, etc., 

 one of the latest being from the State of Khode Island, as shown. 



RHODE ISLAND SOCIETY 



For the Encoarageinent. of Domestic Indastrj. 



First Premium. 



In competitions, our collections have never been surpassed in excellence or in the awards. 

 A large proportion of Exhibitors at Agricultural and Horticultural Exhibitions patronize our 

 House alone for their seeds ; therefore it is not our custom to show flowers or vegetables in 

 competition. We frequently exhibit, however, in Boston, sometimes filling long tables run- 

 ning from end to end of the large halls of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. The 

 expert judges of the Society have bestowed many honorary awards, and thousands of visitors 

 have given us the highest commendations for our exhibits. 



Better still, and far more cheering to us, are the many kind words from those we try so 

 earnestly to satisfy.
