MANNS’ PEDIGREE SEEDS 
N the pursuant pages we have endeavored to list and illustrate in 
the most conscientious and trustworthy manner the most depend- 
Tested able varieties cf Seeds which we have found in our twenty-five 
years of experience to be real money makers for market garden- 
ers, truckers and shippers, also some of the newer kinds which 
Proven have recently been introduced in this country and Europe, which 
are worthy of your liberal trial. It will be noticed that we have 
devoted no special pages to novelties which are generally found in 
and most catalogues. We consider it more preferable to group the different varieties 
of one vegetable family together, for in this manner they can be referred to 
- more readily. Our prices are low. Again unfavorable weather conditions 
Superior during the past growing season has proved fatal to many crops. However, 
our largely increased contracts and special preparations made far ahead, en- 
able us to supply our steadily increasing trade with the best Seeds at reason- 
able prices; to this we invite your careful comparison. Thanking our custom- 
ers, old and new, for their liberal patronage and steady support which en- 
GD, courages us in our efforts’ to improve the standard of our Seed stocks and 
serve our custcmers better each season. With this spirit we again solicit the 
business of those who may have occasion to purchase seeds, and feel assured 
that all will have most careful and business-like attention. 
LOW IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS 
IT IS IMPORTANT to order as soon after you get the Catalogue as 
= convenient, then you will have your seeds at hand for planting when you 
In want them; besides if you want seeds in large quantities, they can be sent 
by freight much cheaper than by express) SMALL ORDERS, HOWEVER, 
P = can often go as cheaply by express. : 
rice When gocds are to be shipped by freight or express, give plain shipping 
directions; otherwise we use our best judgment. 
d REMITTANCE SHOULD ALWAYS ACCOMPANY THE ORDER. 
an Remittances may be made at OUR RISK by any of the following methods: 
(Ist and best) —POST-OFFICE ORDER; (2¢d)—EXPRESS CO. MONEY 
HIGH ORDER; (3d)—CASH BY EXPRESS IN AMOUNTS NOT LESS THAN 
$5.00; (4th)—REGISTERED LETTERS. When money cannot be sent by 
7 either of the first four methods, it may be enclosed in a Registered Letter. 
In The rates charged for Post-office Orders and Express Money Orders are so 
low that this is the best way to remit where they can be obtained. We will 
bear expense of sending money in either of above ways when order amounts 
e e 
to $1.00 or over. 
Vitality NO GOODS SENT C. O. D. unless cash to the amount of one-fourth 
the order accompanies the same. 
Sending seeds by mail is a very important branch of our business, and 
we are prepared to fill orders promptly and correctly THE DAY THEY 
@) ARE RECEIVED in nearly all cases. 
GUARANTEE 
Complaints made that seeds are not good, should quite as often be at- 
Th tributed to other causes, as to the quality of the seeds. There are contin- 
ey gencies continually arising to prevent the very best seeds always giving sat- 
isfaction, such as sowing too deep, too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil; 
ill L d insects of all descriptions destroying the plants as soon as, or before, they 
wi ea appear; wet weather, cold weather, frosts, chemical changes in the seeds in- 
duced by temperature, etc. Scil preparation for the reception of seed is very 
i t important; if not properly done seed with very high germination is bound to 
O perish. For all these reasons it is impossible to guarantee seeds under all 
circumstances, and, WHILE WE EXERCISE THE GREATEST 
Sucee CARE TO HAVE ALL SEEDS PURE AND RELIABLE, we give no war- 
SS ranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness or any 
other matter of any Seeds, Bulbs, or Plants we send out, and we will not be 
d in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the 
an goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned. WE TEST ALL 
OUR SEEDS BEFORE SENDING THEM TO OUR CUSTOMERS, and 
Profit should they fail to grow, if promptly and properly tested by the customer, 
will replace the same amount or give value in others. We cannot afford, 
knowingly, to send out seeds doubtful as to vitality or purity, and you cannot 
buy better stocks of any other seedsman.
