More than ever this year, we wish to call attention to our list of Grass Seeds, not only because it is a large and growing 

 department of our business, but for the reason it gives us an opportunity to state what we believe to be a fact, that 

 our warehouses to-day contain of all the leading kinds the purest and best samples- of any seed house .in the country. 

 Our stocks of Red Top, Kentucky Blue, Orchard, Timothy — in fact, all the grasses — are clean and pure, and as free from weed or 

 foreign seeds as the most approved machinery for cleaning can make them. Every intelligent farmer knows that the 

 best sample of grass seed he can obtain is cheapest in the long run, and in this fact we believe our efforts to supply only 

 the finest grades of seed will receive sufficient encouragement. 



Customers of course understand that the prices of Grass and Clover seeds are subject to constant change, and the 

 rates here given are those ruling at this date (January 1, 1886), and buyers, particularly those purchasing in quantity, should 

 write for special quotations and samples, which will be promptly furnished. 



(If by mail, postage must be added at rate of 16 cts. per lb. or 10 cts. per quart.)
