NEW SEEDS FREE FOR TRIAL. 



For some years past we have, each season, distributed free, for trial among our customers, packages 

 of New and Improved Varieties, previous to their introduction. Some of our most valuable Novelties 

 have been first sent out in this way, by which means they were tried in all sections of the country, thus 

 enabling us to ofi"er them the next season with greater confidence, when reports were entirely satisfac- 

 tory. We shall follow the same plan in 1890, and have again put up a number of most distinct novelties 

 among which are a very fine New Lettuce originated by one of our best Philadelphia market gardeners, 

 a valuable New Celery, an entirely new and distinct Foreign Onion, and the new Cumberland Red 

 Tomato, which in our trials the past season eclipsed all other varieties in size, productiveness and fine 

 quality, fully equalling, if not surpassing the now famous Brandywine. These novelties have never 

 been offered for sale, and will not under any circumstances be sold this season, but we shall be glad to 

 add one or more packages free of charge to all customers whose orders indicate an interest in new 

 varieties. All who deal with us will be treated liberally. We shall also be glad to receive samples for 

 trial from any of our customers who have new or superior varieties unknown to the general public.
