In this depart- j 

 ment we catalogue 

 all those varieties 

 and strains which 

 in our long expe- 

 rience we have 

 found to possess 

 sterling merit. We 

 do not handle cheap seeds — 

 that is, seed of poor or un- 

 known quality, but aim to give our cus- 

 tomers stock of known reliability, fresh 

 and true to name. 



We deliver all Flower Seeds free to any 

 Post Office in the U.S. or Canada.
