MANNS' SUPERIOR 



FOR 1910 



Tested, True, Proven and Reliable 



In presenting this TWENTY-FOURTH Edition of our catalogue we wish first to 

 express our thanks to the thousands of friends and customers for their liberal patron- 

 age and kind recommendations which we have enjoyed in the past, and promise them 

 that we will use our best endeavors to merit a continuance of their confidence in the 

 future. 



Truth has been our constant ambition in all our dealings and consider it an uncon- 

 ditional duty we owe to our customers in soliciting their orders for seeds, the value of 

 which cannot be determined until maturity. With this for our foundation, we expect 

 to enjoy a continued growth and success of our business in the future as we have 

 found in the past. 



We endeavor to make this catalogue simple, but instructive, as to the best method 

 of planting, culture, and improvement of crops. This suggestion will be noted below 

 the heading of each vegetable family. We also avoid bargain house exaggerated 

 claims of merits or the renaming of a standard variety with an exhorbitant price 

 attached. 



The seeds we offer are grown by expert specialists and experienced growers in 

 the different localities home and abroad, where they are best suited to develop their 

 perfection and maturity. All new varieties and specialties offered in this catalogue 

 have been tested and proven by us and are worthy of a liberal trial by you. 



The past season has again been very unfavorable for seed crops in general 

 throughout the many Northern seed-growing sections, and many varieties are in a 

 very short supply, but fortunately our increased acreage and large contracts placed 

 far ahead enables us to maintain last season's prices, and in many instances offer some 

 varieties at reduced figures, while the supply may last. 



The market gardeners' trade, whose trade we cater to, is by far the most critical 

 in regard to the quality of seeds they purchase than the private or amateur gardener, 

 for they realize the fact that their season's gain or loss is depending upon the seed 

 they sow. 



Being located as we are, opposite one of the largest vegetable markets in the 

 country, offers us a continued opportunity to observe the results our seeds are giving, 

 and keeps us in constant touch with the trucker to know which variety is the best 

 producing and paying stock to recommend. Our many years of personal and practical 

 experience we cheerfully share with our customers, new and old. 



With best wishes for a successful new year, we earnestly solicit your orders.
