ROR RETAILING. 



For the convenience of those who wish to purchase 

 and put our seeds on sale in their stores and do not 

 know exactly what to select, we have made up the 

 following " Box Collections." The varieties con- 

 tained in them are such as our experience has shown 

 to be the most popular and salable, though, of course, 

 you are at perfect liberty to make your own selec- 

 tions from our Retail Catalogue for the current year 

 or from the lithographed packets listed on page 3. 



Our New Counter Boxes we think the finest ever 

 sent out, and as the different varieties of seeds are 

 fully displayed your customer can see exactly what 

 is wanted without disturbing the entire contents of 

 the case, consequently the seeds sell themselves. 

 These "Vegetable Seed Counter Boxes" -we do 

 not sell, but we loan one to every dealer ordering our 

 vegetable seeds in lithographed packets to the amount' of 

 not less than $b. 00, net, annually; -where collections re- 

 quiring two of these counter boxes are ordered, such as 

 \colleclions " C " and " D," we will loan the required two 

 \cases. We make no charge j or packing or shipping, but 

 1 the freight or express charges must be paid by customers.
