Practically all of our seeds are now put up in clegantly lithographe i 
packets, showing the vegetable or flower represented in natural 
colors. The designs were painted true from nature by our own artist; 
the lithographing has been executed in the finest manner, each 
packet being really a work of art, as much superior to the colored 
packets usually sent out as are the seeds they contain, for we put in 
them absolutely the same high grade seeds that we use for our own 
critical retail trade. These, when displayed in our new counter boxes 
and display cases (described on the following pages), make a very 
attractive appearance, worthy of a prominent position in any store. 
For descriptions of varieties and retail prices see our Retail Cata- 
logue, mailed free on application.

* e e WE DO NOT “COMMISSION” OR PLACE OUR SEEDS OUT ‘ON SALE.” 
We are strongly opposed to the system of selling seeds on ‘‘commission’’ on account of the large percentage of boxes 
which often get into the hands of indifferent parties who sell none at all or only a very few packets. Large quantities e e 
have. therefore, to be destroyed or used over and over again, and the increased cost of our selected seeds renders such 
a system impracticable. 
In no case is the choicest and best germinating stocks used for commission boxes. The public, too, are becoming 
e @ aware of this and avoid ‘‘commission” seeds, while ours are eagerly sought after, because they are of the very best 
quality and such as are supplied to our most critical market gardening trade.

SEEDS. and will be supplied in quantities proportionate to the value of their orders.
