OR the past three seasons crop returns have been very disap- 
pointing, particularly so in the Northern seed-growing districts; 
last season, fortunately, weather conditions were nearer to nor- 
mal, and returns have changed for the better. Stocks have at- 
tained a higher percentage of vitality, and we are pleased to 
state that we are in a position to serve our customers with 
the same high quality of Pedigree Seeds we have furnished in 
the past. The pursuant pages represent a complete line of our 
standard varieties with several specialties added of real merits, 
which have been introduced in this country and Europe, all of which have been 
tested by us and are worthy of your liberal trial. 
We want to do the largest business this year we have ever done, and this we 
are sure to accomplish with your aid and kind recommendation to your neighbors 
and friends, and we feel assured it will prove a credit to you as well as ourselves.
