A Continuous Supply 
THROUGHOUT THE SEASON OF 
FRESH VEGETABLES. 
HE fact that so many customers every year send us orders carte blanche for Collections of Vegetable Seeds has led us to 
prepare the assortments named below, for the convenience of those who either do not care to wade through long lists, or 
who prefer our judgment to their own as to kinds and quantities. 
Our long experience in selecting for thousands of customers enables us to make up these collections so accurately of the best 
standard sorts as to be suited to the majority of people who do not wish novelties. 
The seeds we put in are of our very best standard sorts, and the quantities are proportioned to meet the requirements of 
such gardens as the titles indicate. As we make up these collections in quantity before the busy season opens we are thereby 
enabled to sell them for fully 35 per cent. less than they would cost if the articles were selected separately; so if two or 
three varieties included should be of no use to you, you will still be getting the remainder for less than catalogue rates. 
We can allow no alterations. 
With each collection we enclose a pamphlet on the cultivation of vegetables.
