WE OFFER ONLY THE BEST GRADES 
RY GAIN we have the pleasure of greeting our many cus- 
\{ tomers through the medium of our catalogue, which we 
e | have endeavored to improve each succeeding year. It 
eS truthfully illustrates and describes all the standard 
WW KS varieties and many novelties or new varieties of real 
S28 \) merit, all of which are alphabetically arranged and are 
of easy access to the reader. We offer absolutely nothing that 
we do not believe to be the best obtainable. Knowing that the 
sower of seeds usually has but a single chance of success in a season, 
and his profits or loss are determined chiefly by the seeds he sows, we 
will state that all vegetable seeds offered in this catalogue are grown, 
from pedigree and private stock seeds by experts and experienced grow- 
ers in this country and Europe where nature provides for their best 
development. Our business has our personal and undivided attention. 
While every variety of seeds is carefully tested as to vitality, we have 
for further safeguard acquired a very fine tract of land easily accessible 
from our store, located at Parkville, on the Harford Turnpike, where. 
we will make hundreds of field trials, which will better enable us to stay 
abreast with progress, and our customers will share in many ways the 
advantages derived by it. 
We strive always to make our prices as low as possible, give full 
value for every dollar received, and would not solicit your trade did we 
not believe it would be to your advantage to plant our seeds. 
We remain sincerely yours,
