 "EASEL SEED CASE. 



(patent applied for.) 



THESE were designed by ourselves and are unequalled for an 

 effective display of a good- sized assortment of Henderson's 

 Tested Seeds. For shipment they fold together and pack 

 in small compass. One side is devoted to vegetable seeds 

 and the other side to flower seeds. Each compartment will hold 

 from 10 to 20 packets of seeds, according to the size of the seed. 

 A tray on each side contains the cartons of Peas, Beans and Corn. 

 These " Easel" Seed Cases are the finest ever sent out, and 

 they are durably made of highly finished woods. 



The different varieties of seeds are fully displayed (a patent 

 contrivance always keeps the packets to the front), so that cus- 

 tomers can see exactly what is wanted without disturbing the con- 

 tents of the case, consequently the seeds sell themselves. 

 These "Easel" seed cases we do not sell, but we will loan one to 

 every dealer ordering our seeds in lithographed packages and bulk 

 combined {in fair proportions), to the amount of not less than 

 ■$50.00, net, annually. 



No charge for packing or shipping, but freight charges must be 

 paid by customers. 



THE " EASEL SEED CASE " stands 55^ feet high from floor to top of sign, is 2^ feet long x 2.y z feet wide, has 45 compartments for vegetable 

 seeds, 72 compartments for flower seeds, and the trays hold 150 half-pint cartons of Peas, Beans and Corn. Capacity in all, 1 , 1 70 packets and 1 50 

 half-pint cartons. 



The "Easel" Seed Case Collection of Seeds. 



Retail value, $73.50 ; Wholesale price, §36.75, though we will loan you this case if you buy annually $50.00 worth of seeds, as above, at wholesale rales.
