A Word as to Our 

 Special Offers 



Yon will notice by the beantifolly colored outside and in- 

 side covers oi onr catalog and by the wrapper in which the 

 catalog is mailed to you, that we offer five special collections 

 oi vegetable and flower seeds of the choicest quality at prices 

 considerably less than our regular listed prices. We do 

 not wish to pnt too much stress upon these special collec- 

 tions; they are not intended to take the place of any of the 

 usual orders which you are in the habit of sending to us. 

 They are offered with the hope, after you have made up your 

 usual order for such farm and garden seeds as you may 

 need, that you will feel like adding to your order one or 

 more of these special collections. Also that those to whom 

 this catalog may come for the first time, may be induced to 

 send us an order for some of these special collections if they 

 do not care to order anything else, so that they may have 

 the opportunity of trying our seeds at very little expense. 

 We know that if you once favor us with an order, you will 

 become our customer for all time. 



Many years ago we adopted as one of our slogans the 

 phrase "ONCE CROWN ALWAYS GROWN," and this is 

 as true today as when we adopted it 



We hope therefore, whether you are an old customer or 

 new one, that we may have the pleasure of sending you A LL 

 of the special collections offered, for with them, you would 

 have a varied assortment of vegetable and flower seeds at 

 a small cost.

<77 White Lisbon Parsnip 



A Desirable Home and Market Sort 



I'lils grand parsnip, from Portugal, has proved 

 to be a striking arid attractive novelty. Grown 

 extensively by our market gardener friends, to 

 their great satisfaction. The shape is well 

 shown in illustration (one-half natural sizei. 

 It is remarkably free from side roots; in fact, 

 in this respect it is about the cleanest of all 

 parsnips. It is fine grained and of superior 

 flavor, and if it had not been named White 

 I^isbon might well be called an Improved 

 Hollow Crown. Its handsome appearance 

 would attract attention anywhere, and we 

 are very sure it will give satisfaction.
