To Our Customers and Friends: 



Thousands of successful Market Gardeners are sowing Manns' Superior Seeds exclusively 

 by reason of the fact that they have found through experience that we have many advantages 

 to offer in quality, service and price. 



QUALITY. We know our customers' seed requirements in every detail and are capable of 

 supplying these needs with the very highest quality of seed stock. To accomplish this, we 

 spare no effort or expense in securing, proving and testing the improved strains and procuring 

 the highest types of the old reliable standard varieties. Quality therefore, is our chief aim 

 and is of utmost importance to the grower as Well a?, ourselves. 



SERVICE. Distant customers are not handicapped by the miles that lie between us as our 

 shipping facilities are ideal. We are located within easy reach of the Express, Railroad and 

 Steamship Companies and directly adjoining th e Old Town Substation of the U. S. Post Office. 

 All orders entrusted to us receive our personal, prompt and business-like attention. 



PRICE. The matter of price while of secondary importance, must also be considered and 

 we gladly invite comparison of prices on equivalent stock. Our low prices are made possible 

 by large sales volume and minimum overhead expense. 



Expert knowledge of the Truckers' needs in relation to the various vegetable types and 

 our many years of close relationship with the best growers in America and Europe permit 

 us to economically perform a genuine and progressive service which merits the implicit con- 

 fidence of every seed buyer. We therefore ask your attention to the following pages, trust- 

 ing that we may again have the privilege of serving you during the entire year. 



Respectfully yours, J. MANNS & CO.
