For the Second Time 

 In Succession 



wt" are in 1903 face to face with the sliortest crops of many varieties of seeds this country haa 

 ever known. Following, as it does, the bad failure of many things in 1901, it makes it all the 

 harder to stand the 1902 shortages. This Price List is phenomenal, I think, from the fact that 

 my entire stock of many varieties of seeds offered herewith, could be disposed of at prices 

 ((Uotcd, inside of twenty-four hours, to other seedsn)en ; but I have made up n)y min<J to 

 pursue the same policy as last year, and that is to give my regular customers the benefit, so far as 

 ])Ossible, of any special figures that I am able to make. With this eiul in view. 1 liav»' quoted 

 many vine seeds, tomatoes, beans, sweet corn, etc., below the wholesale jobbers' prices to dealers, 

 and on this account I must positively insist that the figures given on above items in this Price 

 List are for the benefit of my regular customers only. / loill not fill orders for Cncidnber Seed 

 exclusively; but on a general order, embracing Peas, Beans, (.Jabbage, ( )ni(}n, Melon, Cucumber, 

 etc., r will he pleased to furnish goods at prices ({uoted as long as my supply holds out ; but 1 

 will decline positively to accept orders for say 10 to 20 bushels of Oradus Peas and nothing else. 

 I am very sure my regular customers will appreciate this point — that 1 have not sold out at big 

 ])rices my surplus stock of many things that are short, as other seedsmen have done, to those 

 who are not regular customers. 



Wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year, 



1 remain, 

 Yours to command.

J 'wish to call particular attention to the fact that this Price List is intended for truckers 

 only, and by truckers I mean those V^ho are regularly in the market garden business, 

 raising vegetables for a living. In no case ana under no circumstances ivill orders be filled 

 from it for private gardeners, -whom I -would respectfully refer to my general Catalogue for I '^03.
