THIS, our 34th Annual Catalogue, represents the results of our long experience and 

 practical knowledge of the seed business and will serve our customers with ready and 

 valuable reference. 



Our entire efforts are directed with one object in view; to produce and furnish 

 seeds of superior quality, and we have spared no expense or time to accomplish this result. 

 Being practical growers ourselves, we know that the seed purchaser's success or failure 

 depends to a great extent upon the seed he sows, and not being able to judge the best seed 

 from the most worthless stock, he entrusts his orders with the seedsman in whom he has 

 the greatest confidence. In return for this trust we have set forth the following safeguards 

 which keep us continuously abreast with arising conditions and familiar with the seeds we 

 sell. 



1. Our stock seed is placed with experts and conscientious growers in their respec- 

 tive lines in those localities best suited for the most perfect development of the various 

 strains. 



2. All seeds offered by us are carefully tested for vitality. / 



3. Continued tests are made on our trial grounds under our personal supervision 

 where our own as we'll as other so called new varieties are proven. 



As a result of these methods, we have enjoyed the confidence and continued business 

 of the careful Trucker Buyer to whose trade we especially cater. 



Yours for service, 



J. MANNS & CO.
