|HE offering in the Spring and awarding in the Fall of cash prizes for 

 premium vegetables has long been a distinctive feature of my busi- 

 ness. This year 1 make my offer in a little different way from that of 

 any previous season, having an idea that it might prove more attractive 

 to my customers to be able to buy seeds of all the vegetables on which 

 1 offer premiums at a reduced price in collection. I also have an idea 

 that offering a collection of seeds in this way will be a great help to 

 ciub raisers competing for the $1,500 offered elsewhere in this book 

 for the ninety -four largest club orders of packets and ounces sent me before July 1st. 

 It will be noticed on rive varieties I offer §100 each in cash, and on ten varieties I 

 offer $50.00 each. I will send one packet of each of the fifteen varieties named 

 below, to any address, on receipt of $1.00, postpaid ; six collections, $5.00, net ; ten 

 collections, $7.50, net ; fifty* collections, §30.00, net ; one hundred collections-, §50.00, 

 net. Remember no further discount is allowed. Now if you do not care to make 

 up a club for packets and ounces of miscellaneous seeds, why not make up a club for 

 one hundred of these collections for $50.00? If you do you will certainly receive 

 one of the cash prizes, in fact you will notice on page three that an order amounting 

 to $43.20 received a $15.00 cash prize last July. Certainly this is worth a little extra 

 effort on the part of my customers, and I have no doubt many thousands of these 

 collections will be sold, for every one of the fifteen sorts mentioned are desirable 

 and profitable varieties, that are bound to give satisfaction and please all who plant 

 them. Remember if you seU one hundred collections, in addition to making 50 cents 

 on each, you stand a good chance of securing a cash prize July 1, 1893.
