1903 SEED 



OF — 



ANNUAL 



J. MANNS & 



COMPANY. 



I 



N PRESENTING you with this book we wish to say that we have 

 carefully avoided exaggerated claims of merit, and exclude every- 

 thing worthless, omitting the endless number which are out of date. 

 We avoid offering the same varieties under from one to four 

 different names, and the reader can be assured that every variety listed 

 has proved with us fully equal to our description of it. 



The value of Seed is measured not by what it is, but by what it will 

 produce ; this will depend upon qualities, which are not sure, and of which 

 the buyer cannot judge. He is, therefore, forced to trust to the seller. 



RELIABILITY has been our watchword and aim throughout our 

 business life. We have spared neither labor nor pains in ascertaining how 

 and where the best Seeds can be produced ; the growth of our business and 

 the confidence old customers repose in us are sufficient evidence. 



OUR PRICES ARE LOW. 



While we believe that price is of secondary importance to the successful 

 planter, yet it is by no means to be overlooked. Our aim is to supply the 

 Best Seeds at the Lowest Possible Price.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED OUR SEEDS 



we shall be pleased to have your inquiries and orders, and promise you in 

 advance courteous and business-like attention. We feel assured you will be 

 pleased and profited in the use of our Seeds. 



We test all our Seeds before sending out ; and should they fail when 

 properly tested by the customer, we will replace the same amount or 

 give value in others, but cannot give any warranty, express or implied, as 

 to crops, etc. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these conditions 

 they must be returned at once, and the amount that has been paid for same 

 will be refunded. 



All orders have our personal attention. 



Very respectfully, 



J. MANNS & CO.
