I started in the seed business more than thirty years ago, 

 ■during which time the Aster has always been one of my 

 favorite flowers, and no flower during the last thirty years 

 has been so much improved. 



The idea occurred to me last summer that I had never 

 illustrated Asters on my cover pages, and the thought no 

 sooner matured in my mind than it became a set purpose. I 

 am satisfied my friends "will agree with me that in selecting 



the Aster for the most prominent position in my catalogue I 

 have not made a mistake. 



The seed oSered is a mixture of all the best and choicest 

 sorts introduced in the last thirty years. Only half a dozen 

 sorts are illustrated on the first cover, but this mixture con- 

 tains more than twenty-five varieties, embracing the best of 

 the Comets, Pseony Flowered, New Branching, Chrysanthe- 

 mum flowered, etc. Packet, 20 cents, 3 packets 50 cents. 



This year I offer no confusing discounts, no free books, nor 

 trial packages; but each and every customer may select their 

 own premium on the basis of 



WORTH 



extrI 



I wish to call the attention of my customers to the fact that this discount does not 

 apply to quarter pounds, half pounds, pounds, pints, quarts, pecks or bushels, nor does it apply 

 to plants, bulbs, small fruits or trees. On completion of your order add the total amount 

 sent for seeds by the packet and ounce, and for each one dollar's worth of seeds in these 

 quantities, you may select your own premium on the basis of fifty cents worth of extra 

 packets for each one dollar's worth ordered." 



Tws MAKES THE TWENTY S/Xm CONSECUT/VE YEAR / hav^ offered 



CASH PR/ZES FOR CLUB ORDERS. 



For 1907 the cash prizes will be awarded as follows : 



40 Prizes 



IN Alili 

 VAtiCK 



For the largest clnb S300.00 



For the second largest clnb 150.00 



For the third largest club 100.00

For the next ten largest clubs, each 15.00 



For the next ten largest clubs, each 10.00 



For the next ten largest clubs, each 5.00 



To compete for these prizes the club raiser must mention 

 on each and every order that it is sent me in competition for 

 the cash club prizes; otherwise it will not be counted. 



I have decided to count everything, not only seeds by the 

 packet and ounce, but seeds by the barrel, bushel, peck, 

 pound, quart, pint, as well as plants, bulbs, seed potatoes, 

 etc. In fact, everything listed in this catalogue will be 



counted this year toward these cash prizes. On this account 

 I expect all my old club raisers to take an unusual interest 

 in the competition, and I trust the clubs will be much larger 

 than ever. A single afternoon's work has frequently secured 

 a good prize for many of my customers. Remembering this 

 fact, also the fact that everything is counted this year in 

 competition for these prizes, I hope all my old club raisers 

 will start to work with a will. 



Bear in mind that to complete for these prizes you must 

 mention on each and every order sent in that it is in compe- 

 tition for the cash club prizes, otherwise the order will not be 

 counted July 1, 1907, when the premiums are to be awarded. 



A list of last year's club prize winners will be mailed on 

 application to any one who sent me a club order last season.
